OK, first of all.................NO VIOLENCE !!

a "victory with violence " is NOT A "VICTORY".
and besides, there are so many more INTERESTINGLY CREATIVE (ie: LEGAL) methods available to us as AMERICANS... *snicker*


... ok, we fight FIRE with FIRE !!!


1) REPOST THIS using your email address.
the homophobes are going to flag it and I can only LEGALLY post it ONCE.
don't leave this page (you might not be able to get back),
open another, and do it from THERE.


2) CALL THIS NUMBER:

(800) 368-1019
it's the OCR (office of civil rights)


3) TELL THEM YOU WANT TO FILE A "DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINT" AGAINST:
("I'm not "allowed" to get married because I don't have the same religion.. etc")

Ron Prentice, Chief Executive Officer
Dan Kirby, Director of Operations
Everett Rice, Legislative Coordinator
Becky Burgoyne, Research Analyst
Trudy K. Thomas, Event Coordinator

the OCR will ask for addresses and phone numbers.. so
THEIR ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBERS:

So. California Office
P.O. Box 20012
Riverside, CA 92516
Ph: 951-354-8362
Fx: 951-353-8347

No. California Office
1107 9th Street, Box 24
Sacramento, CA 95814
Ph: 916-446-5131
Fx: 916-446-5744

or:
protectMarriage.com
915 L st, suite C-259
sacramento, ca 95814
916 446-2956


4) TELL YOUR FRIENDS
if the homophobes are too busy dealing with the complaints, they won't have as much time to stick their nose in other people's affairs.
(maybe it's "fight krap with krap")

======================================================================
people don't have to actually get married,
just file a complaint that their right to get married has been violated..

and NO ONE is allowed to discriminate based on religion.
"I'm not allowed to get married because I don't have the same religion ??"
"your evidence comes from the bible ???"
I dont' think so...


THERE'S NO LIMIT ON HOW MANY COMPLAINTS YOU CAN FILE
it's quick, easy, fun, and above all legal
and I imagine, pretty effective if enuf people play too..
I just did a quick look-up, so please feel free to figure out who else is anti-american,
and post their info so that other people can join the fun also..
:)


how to file:
http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/discrimhowtofile.html
but hunt around, cus I have a lot of windows open and not sure that's what I meant to copy
I think I googled "discrimination complaint"
(this is pretty much presuming that the court won't uphold human rights.. if they DO, then ... "NEVER MIND")

Lots of attitude on no-kids decision

Note: my response at the bottom!

Lots of attitude on no-kids decision

Ask Amy | Amy Dickinson
9:50 AM EDT, May 14, 2009

Dear Readers: Some time back, I ran a letter from "No Babies in South Dakota" asking how to respond to frequent queries about when she and her husband would have children. Because they don't plan to have children, they were looking for a "snappy comeback."

Readers responded by the bushel. A surprising number accused people who don't wish to have children of being selfish.Other readers offered snappy comebacks or other responses to the age-old question: "When are you going to have kids?"

Dear Amy: Why is it necessary to have a snappy comeback?

Most people ask out of curiosity.

Being a person who decided against kids and marriage, I always politely but firmly say that was my lifestyle choice.

Only a Neanderthal would push the point, and then I still politely but firmly say, "These questions are getting a little personal."

-- Personal Choice

Dear Amy: I'm a 49-year-old woman. When people ask me why I don't have children, I just say, "I love doting on other people's children, and with such a wonderful niece and nephew, that's enough for me."

This has worked well for me, but on occasion I have had to set some boundaries with particularly insistent people. In those cases, I said, "It is a personal decision that is not open for discussion."

-- Elisa

Dear Amy: "No Babies" should more honestly rationalize her decision by just admitting, "I'm selfish, and I don't want to interrupt my lifestyle" or "I dislike children; they are so untidy" or "I'm afraid I'd make a child turn out as miserably neurotic as myself."

-- Disgusted

Dear Amy: If you don't have kids and you're happy with it, you're "childfree."

If you don't have kids and you're not happy with it, you're "childless."

-- Childfree by Choice

Dear Amy: My husband and I have known couples who have elected not to have children. It seems that these couples always replace the children in their lives with a very pleasant lifestyle that includes frequent vacations, nice clothes, fine cars, above-average homes, season tickets to sporting events, plays, concerts.

All to replace the emptiness of an empty nest. This all smacks of the '60s hippie culture through the '70s "me generation."

-- Not Buying It

Dear Amy: To the couple with concerns about inquiries: Bottom line -- it is your private business! Remember, too, that you have the right to change your mind. In one case we know of, it took 17 years, but when the baby came, it was for all the correct reasons.

-- No Excuses/No Regrets


Dear Amy: I, too, have the same "no babies" problem.

Nothing infuriates me more than when people say, "You want them, but you just don't know it yet."

I am 31, and my husband is 33. We know, and it's a no for us.

I am starting to think "We can't have kids" is the easiest response.


-- No Babies in Meraux, La.

Dear Amy: A better answer for a childless couple might be to just pick any date far in the future and when busybodies ask, "When are you planning to start having children?" you could say, "Nov. 11, 2022."

-- No Babies Too

Dear Amy: I am childless and concur that your young couple will be facing the inevitable questions for many years to come.

I will be 50 soon and have allowed my hair to go gray naturally. Nonetheless, it was not that long ago that people were still asking me when -- not if -- I'd have kids.

My standard answer is that until I can learn to keep a house plant alive, children are out of the question.

-- Choosing Childless


~~~^~^~^~^~^~^~^:)--<

MY OPINION:

The choice:

a very pleasant lifestyle that includes frequent vacations, nice clothes, fine cars, above-average homes, season tickets to sporting events, plays, concerts

VS.

a SCREAMING BRAT, no money, no sanity, being stuck having to deal with gross diapers, snotty noses (eeeeew!!!), school politics, disease (children are germy!) blah blah blah....

Easy answer for me!!! I'll take the FUN! I don't have an empty nest either. I have snakes! My life is already too full and I'm happy with life as it is... Why would I want to screw it up now?

And that person who signed themself as "Disgusted" is DISGUSTING in my opinion. JUST because someone doesn't want kids, it doesn't always mean that they are selfish, hate kids, or neurotic. What a jerk!

We knew that part of Jing's cage had melted when the heat lamp got knocked over the corner, but we didn't realize the mesh melted too. Oops!
