Some good news from Florida about Amendment 2 - but don't grab the champagne yet. This poll in the Sun-Sentinel was conducted before the big far-right church tour that begins today and before their deceptive barrage of robocalls, radio and television ads hit the airwaves. We have to keep our foot on the gas all the way across the finish line.
It is a strong indication that we can and will defeat this if good people here and across the country continue to donate time and money as we reach the final days.

State amendments seem likely to lose
Like five others, gay-marriage ban currently lacks support needed to pass
South Florida Sun-Sentinel | October 19, 2008An effort to rewrite the Florida Constitution to prohibit gay marriage is falling short of the numbers needed for victory in the Nov. 4 election, a Sun Sentinel and Florida Times-Union poll shows.
The poll of 600 likely voters shows support for Amendment 2 at 53 percent, less than the 60 percent approval rate required to change the constitution.

Thanks Bill. We definitely need more funding. Those pushing this amendment are targeting Black churches in particular and we are committed to making sure their lies don't go unchallenged.
Anyone who wants to contribute to the effort in these final crucial days can do so quickly and securely at VoteNoOn2.com.
This issue is so close, every contribution matters $5 or $500.
