No Nonsense In November Lauches Website
By Damon McCullar
Former State Rep. Glen Maxey and Company have launched www.nononsenseinnovember.com. This is a website where folks can go to:
Get updates about campaign activities and find out how to work to defeat the amendment in your area and download tools you can use to organize in your area.
Pledge to vote against the proposition and send a message that you will not be a part of this nonsense that would use our most sacred document – the Constitution – to discriminate against someTexasfamilies.
Volunteer to fight the amendment. Our regional offices will be fully staffed and in high gear in August, and we’ll need committed people like you to help us.
Donate to the cause. We are less than 15 weeks away from the vote and have much to do throughout the state. A well-funded campaign is critical to maximizing voter turnout. Because this is a ballot measure, our PAC can take money from individuals, churches, corporations, just about anyone who wishes to support us, except foreign nationals.
Glen will also be doing a radio special on Lamda Weekly, the nation's oldest continuous gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender talk radio show. The special will be on Sunday, July 31st at 1pm. Lamda Weekly can be heard on KNON, 89.3 on the FM band in North Texas or at www.KNON.org. Click "Listen Now" for live streaming audio.
Alliance for Social Justice: University of Texas Brigade
In other news, a group has been started on the campus of UT to oppose the amendment banning same-sex marriage in Texas. It's called The Alliance for Social Justice: University of Texas Brigade. It's a group of concerned students, staff and faculty that will be educating other students about the amendment, create
unique and powerful demonstrations against the initiative, and host weekly meetings to stay unified. The group is on Yahoo Groups. Check it out. There will be an organizational meeting on Thursday and I should have more about the group after that.

I've already started doing my part.
I'm the editor of Lancaster Today, a suburban Dallas weekly. My column for the Thursday after the resolution was approved, my editorial page column was titled, simply: "Gay marriage is the business of just two people."
At least a couple of gays in Lancater or elsewhere in southern Dallas County forwarded the link, as I heard from people elsewhere in Texas, including gay conservative Republican rancher partners.
