I can't. Three days after it went online, 4,930 people have agreed enough to add their names to the White House petition at<br />http://wh.gov/XgY8<br />That's a little over 1 a minute but we can do more. There’s a National discussion that needs to happen. Why it is that essential public services are being cut for lack of funds while a select group of organizations pay no taxes because- well, that's where I get confused.<br />Because why? Because they protect pedophiles? Because they lobby to keep some of us as second class citizens? Because they want to build a bigger mega- church and buy another Parisian palace (sorry - mission)?<br />I think the time for real reform is now. We can do it. You can help. <br />http://wh.gov/XgY8<br />The White House has committed to an official response if 25k signatures are obtained within 1 month. I’m most curious to see them address the topic officially and publicly.<br />I’m sure there’s a cynic in you thinks that nothing will happen and it's a waste of time. Maybe – but what if it’s not? Every day you waste a lot more than the two minutes it takes to add your voice to the growing list and demand the end of special rights for those who work to deny equality. A lot more time than it takes to forward the link to your email list or put the it up on your blog or tweet it. Exempting revenue used directly to aid those in need is fine. Money that goes to Ad agencies to create partisan messages and to buy air time do not fall into this category.<br />Why are we subsidizing them? Help make this conversation one that cannot be ignored. Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come. It’s time.<br />It’s the fiscally responsible thing to doAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-63554646394513250602012-11-16T19:48:36.247-08:002012-11-16T19:48:36.247-08:00Next election, I think NOM and the like should ste...Next election, I think NOM and the like should step back and let these guys run everything.
