Gay Marriage Foes make multi-million dollar television ad buy, to start weeks before most campaigns start running advertising.
Make a donation by August 31 so NO on 8 can get on TV as soon as possible.
Last week we told you about the $1 million donation, given to support Proposition 8, from the Catholic organization Knights of Columbus.
I am pleased to announce that with your help, we have matched them dollar for dollar! Today, Equality California is donating another $1 million to the NO on 8 campaign—making our total contribution more than $4 million.
Thanks to you and the amazing generosity of many EQCA supporters, we have met the latest challenge by the Knights of Columbus.
Unfortunately, the opposition has now made their next move. We’ve just learned that they have made a multi-million dollar television ad buy in eight media markets across California AND they are going to start weeks before most campaigns start running advertising.
The only way we can fight them is to get our message out before they start. That’s why it’s critical to raise funds to get on TV as soon as we can. August 31 is our deadline.
Please give what you can to help us. And ask your friends and family to donate too. Every dollar helps.
So please do two things today.
- One, make a donation by August 31 so NO on 8 can buy ad time.
- And two, sign up to host a house party. Small donations from 10, 15 or 20 individuals all pooled together will make the difference in this fight.
This is the fight of our lives. The supporters of Prop 8 have called this their last chance to win the culture war—and they are willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to ensure their victory.
Thank you for you support and for standing with us in this struggle.
In solidarity,
Geoff Kors
Executive Director
Equality California
