It Could Happen to You

I don't know if this has been posted already, but here it is again. Such a heartbreaking story.

Though this amendment passed, there ARE smarter and wiser heads in NC. This is a clip from a May 6 press conference. In it the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, the pastor of Greenleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro, North Carolina chides the press for the way the have handled coverage for this amendment. People like this will keep working, and we will keep working, and we will succeed in getting our full rights as citizens of the USA.
Smooches,

It was very disappointing to her about NC passing this bill but I don't think it is the end ~ I'm sure things will work out in the end

Pearl and Lennie of North Carolina. From the mouths of babes in the post above to the mouths of cherished elders, truth flows. These two are so beautiful.
Smooches,

The North Carolina law may be voided...I'll post from the prop 8 blog tomorrow because from my iPad I have issues.

Long story short, in some areas...primarily democratic, people were given the ballots without the amendment question on them. For some reason 17 year olds could vote if they would be 18 in 6 months, but they had ballots without the amendment question. They were also giving those ballots to regular voters that might otherwise vote to defeat the amendment, instead of the ballots for those over 18. Some say on purpose....we'll see.
