Approve means Approve. Seems pretty simple, really.

Civil rights should never be put to a vote.

All our rights were voted on--just usually not directly by the electorate. Congress passes a law defining marriage--that's a vote. The Supreme Court rules on a case--those are votes. The only way to not have civil rights "voted on" is to have the Queen decree it so, on the advice of God, or some bullshit.

The good news is that the mouth-breathers opposing marriage equality are even more likely to make similar mistakes; to our benefit.

If we really want to keep the marriage equality law, then we need to air ads 24/7 on every teevee and radio station east of the Cascades that approving 74 means mass extermination camps to murder every last one of us gawdliss hummuhsekshals--those sadistic fuckwads will fall all over themselves to vote for it!

Damn!

To be honest this saddens me (and shocks me) that they supposedly got so many signatures.

I thought it might get on the ballot, but I thought it would get on the ballot like Referendum 71, with barely enough signatures and a questionable signature verification process.

I know this is winnable with a lot of hard work, especially when NOM and the Mormons and the Catholics will be divided between WA, MN, ME and MD.

NOM is a front group for conservative Catholics - yes we can win, but the time to act is now - and keep working. Get messages out to people around you, family, friends, coworkers, send money now ... send more later. $$$$ ... can't buy .. air time with air. Play for the WIN !!!

I assumed they'd get a lot, this isn't a surprise.

What's surprising to me is how the Westboro Baptist Church is in town to help them celebrate. Unexpected!

It was bound to happen but so is marriage equality. I have faith we'll overcome the douchbaggery of Preserve Marriage Washington and other such groups. Oh by the way here is the link for the Preserve Marriage Washington Facebook...feel free to pink wash the shit out of their page. :)

@6, I wouldn't be so sure. A lot of the mouth-breathers will have their rolling Mark Driscoll or Ken Hutcherson types telling them how to vote week after week. We need to match their efforts. Vote to approve. Tell your friends.

When will the signatures be released?

The problem is the anti people got the ref on the ballot so people automatically think that means the ref is anti too. They don't want to approve what they assume is taking away a right. #2 has a great idea - say I DO to Ref 74.
