Bow Down Bitches: The Queen is here.
Her royal highness Karen Minnis is not budging. She is holding Senate Bill 1000 in her legislative dungeon. Call her now (503) 986-1200 - tell her to bring SB1000 to an up or down vote NOW. If it is up to her she will continue to take 3 days off at a time until it's too late. Is this a democracy or a monarchy?
Also - call your representative in the House. Click here to get your Representative's phone number.
Seriously you guys - it take 30 seconds per call. That is one minute of your day. Call as much as you can. Leave messages. Do whatever you can. Encourage your friends to do the same. We can pass SB1000 - we DO have the votes in the House. Tell Speaker Karen Minnis to give SB1000 the decency of an up or down vote!

Look at the BS the Oregon Family Council is sending out:
JULY 13th
URGENT:
Oregon House Under Tremendous Pressure!
SB 1000 Supporters Claim They Have The Votes, But We Know They Don’t.
PLEASE CALL YOUR REP TODAY AND ASK THEM TO OPPOSE SENATE BILL 1000!
Supporters of SB 1000 are now aiming their attack on the Oregon House. We know from what happened in the Senate that SB 1000 is a flawed bill with gapping questions and concerns that were completely ignored by Senate Democrats in their rush to pass this “historic” legislation.
Now supporters are asking House leadership to ignore common sense and push SB 1000 through, no questions asked.
Here’s what they aren’t telling the House about SB 1000:
SB 1000 is the most sweeping “gay” rights legislation in the nation.
SB 1000 makes same-sex civil unions the legal equivalent of same-sex marriage, by amending every Oregon marriage statute to include same-sex couples.
SB 1000 contains a very flawed exemption for religious institutions that will not protect churches.
SB 1000 takes sexual behavior and grants it the same legal classification as a person’s gender or skin color.
SB 1000 provides minority protection to gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals and transgender people.
SB 1000 even includes a provision for a “program of public education” to promote acceptance for these behaviors.
PLEASE CALL YOUR HOUSE REP TODAY

House Speaker Karen Minnis
Under EXTREME Attack!
Speaker Minnis continues to be resolute in her opposition to SB 1000, but gay activists are swarming her office demanding she give SB 1000 a vote. We applaud Speaker Minnis for standing up for Oregon voters and the integrity of the legislative process.
We encourage you to call the Speaker Minnis’ office and tell her:
“Thank You for Opposing SB 1000”
Speaker’s Office Phone Number:

Is it all just to tame to perhaps argue that Mr. Bearden should have simply voided the marriage statute and thus achieved equality? Still can do it, with a round two, from a denial of a marriage license from Multnomah County. There is no need for hyperventilation . . or personal attacks. You are actually working against gay rights . . . don't you know?
