If you are on the NCLR mailing list like I am, then you just got the e-mail with the critical message - the polls show we are losing.

No on Prop 8 has been working hard to raise money to counter the misleading television ads that Yes on Prop 8 has been running, but it isn't enough. They've raised $25.4 million dollars, while we've only raised $15.8 million - the difference is HUGE. The bottom line is that No on 8 needs more money, and I feel the best way to help the cause is to spend my money on No on Prop 8 merchandise. When I visited the No on Prop 8 Store I was pleasantly suprised to see that while some of the merchandise I was looking for has been sold out, most of the remaining items have been heavily discounted!

Tees are 20% off, this coffee mug is a whopping 33% off, and most items are now offering a multiple product discount when you purchase two or more of the same item!

I know we can all appreciate a good deal these days what with the economy and all. I know that times are tough right now for everyone financially, but PLEASE, NOW is the time to dig down deep into your couch, under the seat in your car, look into your coat pockets from the party you went to last week for that $5 you might have left in there. If you just don't have anything to give right now, you just might have to sacrifice something... either a night out, a movie rental, that new pair of shoes. PLEASE GIVE NOW!

If we don't dig deep now... if we don't sacrifice now... we will pay the ultimate price on November 4th and that is just ONE month away.

Visit the campaign website and make a donation, and be sure to enter referral code 536, or make a purchase today from the No on Prop 8 Store. Either way, you can be sure that your money is being well spent, on a purpose that is bigger than No on 8 or Yes on 8. It is about equality, fairness, and the right to marry the person you love.
