TAKE ACTION LOCALLY TO DEFEAT AMENDMENT #2On Friday, October 9, a lawsuit was filed seeking to remove Amendment #2 from the ballot entirely due to its deceptive language. We have no way of knowing if the lawsuit will be successful, so everyone must do their part to educate Florida voters about why they should oppose Amendment #2.UPDATE: The lawsuit was refused by the Florida Supreme Court (presumably because the Florida Supreme Court has a vested interest in the outcome) and has been resubmitted to a lower court. Check back for updates! Our strategy with this campaign is to make a concerted effort to influence the vote on Amendment #2 across the state in general, with a focus in the Tampa/St. Pete area and in House District 60 (Temple Terrace area) in particular. District 60 is that of Representative Victor Crist, (not to be confused with his brother, U.S. Senate Candidate Charlie Crist) who is the author of Amendment #2. Whatever happens on Amendment #2 statewide, we know that with your help we can defeat it in our target district. We expect to send a clear message to the Florida Legislature that when the voters are educated, they will not be fooled.

For example, the next time you are at the bank, in the grocery store,
or at a restaurant, ask people if they are registered to vote.
If they respond "Yes," simply say, "Please check out this
information and VOTE NO ON #2!" You can do this with anyone -

the mail carrier, people anywhere. We urge you to experiment with
various approaches to find what works for you! Think about how
many people you encounter just going through your daily routine:
Everyone needs to hear this message!
BUMPER STICKERS
Please place the "Vote NO On #2" bumper stickers on your car(s) and/or ask others to do the same. Please note that these stickers will come off very easily after the election, if you put them on the window instead of the bumper or the metal of the car.
