November 2012


Tuesday, November 6th: Vote "No" Day.

Vote no, so the state of MN does not amend the state constitution to further discriminate against same-sex couples. By voting no, you can help MN become the first state in the nation to ever defeat such a amendment at the ballot box. Putting the majority in a place to vote on the rights of a minority is simply wrong. Speak up, speak out, speak loud and proud! Most of all...vote no.
