President Obama Announces Vote 2010
President Obama released a video last Friday speaking on the upcoming congressional elections. He discussed the need to bring back first time voters from 2008 and to emphasize the importance of this elections. Special interests are just as desperate to bring back their support as we are. As President Obama says in this video, this election is as important, if not more important, than the 2008 elections.
The video is only 2 1/2 minutes long, click the video below to begin playing.
Make sure to get your friends and family out to the polls this November!

Hysterical...
This joke is hysterical but not the most proper...
Jesse Helms and Newt Gingrich were shaking hands congratulating themselves on the introduction of an anti-gay bill in Congress. If it passes, they won't be able to shake hands, because it will then be illegal for a prick to touch an asshole. ~Judy Carter

Change.org
A week or so ago, I signed up for Change.org's email list, and I have just received my first installment. It's pretty cool actually, they just give a few stories that are making headlines by topic. For instance, this week included articles about human trafficking, women's rights, gay rights, criminal justice, and animals. The main article was about health clinics giving false information out to women in order to lead them away from abortions.

It Just Keeps Getting Worse
----Via email from the ACLU----
It just keeps getting more shocking and hurtful.
We've told you about the ACLU lawsuit on behalf of Constance McMillen, the Mississippi student whose school canceled the prom rather than let her attend with her girlfriend. Last month, a federal judge in Mississippi ruled that the school violated Constance's First Amendment rights. However, the judge was satisfied by the school's promise that Constance would be welcome at a private prom, so he did not force the school to put its own prom back on.
What happened next is shocking.
Last Friday, Constance went to a private dance that was billed as the school prom. The event—attended by Constance, her date and five other students—was essentially a decoy event. According to news reports, virtually all of the other students went to a parent-sponsored prom to which Constance was not invited
So many people have contacted us because they are outraged by this situation and want to do something. I can tell you from my conversations with Constance that there's nothing she wants more than for these kinds of hurtful actions to end for students all across the country.
There's a way we can all help Constance with that goal— by demanding that Congress pass the Student Non-Discrimination Act.
The Student Non-Discrimination Act would be the first comprehensive federal prohibition against discrimination in public schools based on a student's sexual orientation or gender identity.
Discrimination and harassment are an unacceptable daily reality for too many LGBT students all across the country. If outrageous experiences like the one Constance McMillen has been through are going to end, we have to respond.
Thank you for standing with us.
Sincerely,
James Esseks
Director, LGBT Project
If you want to sign your support on the Student Non Discrimination Act, you can do so on the ACLU here
