latest Survey USA poll shows vote on Prop 8 “dead even”

We are now down to the wire in California as the vote on Prop 8 approaches. Antigay forces have spent an enormous amount of money in their attempt to eliminate marriage equality in the state. I am asking again for your support because we are so close to winning this battle — but if we don’t keep up the fight, we could lose. We hope that you will be inspired to give as much as you can, and tell everyone you know in California to vote “no” on Proposition 8 on November 4.

The following message was sent to us last night by our colleagues at the No on 8 campaign:

The latest Survey USA poll shows us dead even.

48% of voters support Prop 8 and 45% oppose it. That makes it within the margin of error [1].

That means there’s good news and a continuing challenge.

The good news is our ads are working. Voters are responding.

We’re also closing the fundraising gap. Thanks to you, we met our $1 million match.

But here’s the kicker: with just 14 days to Election Day, we can NOT let up. At all. Not for a moment. Not for one second.

And that’s where you come in.

• Donate. We must stay on the air — on TV and radio — at a level and volume that reach voters.
  
• Volunteer if you live in California. We must call undecided voters. We must show the broad support for defeating Prop 8 with state wide visibility events.
  
• Spread the word. Now is the time to enlist your family and friends. Get to every person you know and tell them to vote No on 8. It’s unfair and it’s wrong.
  
• It’s time to show our true mettle. Let’s step up to the plate and know in our gut that we have done everything — and I mean everything — to win.

From all of us at Lambda Legal, we thank you for doing as much as you can to help.
