DU this poll on gay marriage. Organized mass-freeping

[Ian David]

Anti-Gay Activists and Internet Polls
Yesterday the Mass "Family" Institute, an anti-gay activist organization submitted their signatures to the State to put discrimination into the constitution. Apparently they submitted 170,000 to the clerks who certified 147,000 some odd signatures, they only have to have 66,000 (a feat that's pretty easy to accomplish since there are over 6,416,505 people in Mass)

The Boston Globe reported in its "breaking news" section of its online edition about the signatures. The Globe online also included a link to an "unscientific internet poll" on same sex marriage. You would expect that the MFI would be bathing in the glory of their 147,000 signatures, but no. The MFI sent out an email update to its subscribers to log on and vote YES in the poll. How pathetic. Do you think their afraid? I guess they don't feel secure enough with the way they got the signatures so they have to manipulate the online poll too. A last look the poll shows the NO vote was still leading.

4. So, 2.29% of the population of MA thinks gays shouldn't get

married. For all their airtime and loud mouth vocals, newsletters, fund raisers, etc... They can't even get 3% of the population to agree with them? (147,000 out of 6,416,505)

What a pissant little minority these bigots are!
