Attention! This Suggest was written with the up-to-the-minute info of last Tuesday, and here's the final skinny on how today will play out: Rally at noon in Volunteer Park, march to Westlake Center at 1 pm, rally at Westlake Center at 2 pm.

(The 10:30 am meet is for "pre-festivities." If that word excites you, go then, by which I mean now.)

Exactly what I've said all along: You never, never, ever put people's civil rights up for a vote. Rights are guaranteed. How do you think the vote would have gone in 1960s Alabama - should the state constitution be amended to prohibit Negroes from riding in the front of the bus?

And would you ever see - should the state constitution be amended to prohibit Jews from using any library within the state?

Or - should the state constitution be amended disallowing Catholics to have more than two children?

This isn't even a legal issue. It's a question of protection for the rights of the minority. Any initiative that hints of banning civil rights for anyone should be shot down at once if not by the state registrar then by the courts. To even place shit like this on the ballot is totally un-American.
