Put more of the voter registration responsibility on Stanford Dems, so that we can focus on volunteer recruitment

Need to contact these groups ASAP
Don't need to have our own table if we're being represented in multiple groups/tables

Join Stanford's Marriage Equality Campaign!

As we all know, the issue of marriage equality in California is at STAKE this fall. This is going to be the biggest thing ever, and a fantastic opportunity for us to make history. November 4th is coming up REAL fast, so if we want a unified on-campus effort to save same-sex marriage in California by the time school starts, we have to start NOW.

Meetings have already taken place this summer, and there are more meetings to come.

Much of the groundwork for a Marraige Equality Campaign has been laid out, now we need manpower.

If you'd like to be a part of the Marriage Equality Campaign fall quarter, we IMPLORE you to subscribe to the following list:
https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/marriage_equality

A number of other Stanford student groups have already expressed interest in collaborating with QSA and members of the LGBT community to defeat Prop 8. We invite anyone (You don't have to be Californian, and you don't have to be LGBT) and any organization, whether they're in the community or not, to JOIN US.

We'll send updated information about our plans over the list. We need ideas, volunteers, publicity, phonebank-ers and a collective/collaborative effort in order to Protect the Freedom to Marry. Right now we especially need dorm/house representatives. If you can do this, please respond with the name of your house or dorm for this fall.

SUPPORT MARRIAGE EQUALITY!! let's DO THIS SHIT.
