Author Topic: Five of you motherfuckers better donate $20 to No on 8 before midnight tonight (Read 8247 times)

Howard Alan Treesong · « **on:** October 31, 2008, 05:43:16 PM »

Today is the last day you can donate money and still affect the election.

I will match EB donations on this up to $250 until 8 PM PST tonight. Details in this post.

Update: $250 matched! You guys are amazing. I matched your donations, and rich guys matched both our donations, so this is a total of $1000 for No on 8!

Matched: $250/$250
Debaser: $50
TVC 15: $50
Genghis Cohen: $20
Miss Cohen: $20
BlackMage: $10
Jiji: $20
t exp: $25
Professor Prole: $50
arde0: $5/$20

Additional donations: $285
arde0: $15/$20
Akala: $10
distantmantra: $10
Mandark: $250

Latest polling has No on 8 up by 5, 49-44. But Yes is up by 6 in early voting, 50-44. This means No on 8's survival is entirely dependent on how many people get out there and vote to kill it on Election Day. Obama's up 22 points in California, and Obama supporters oppose 8 by 2-to-1. But it's still way too close for comfort, and on-the-ground advertising over the weekend is going to be critical in killing this hateful proposition.

No on 8 released a new ad today starring Samuel L. Jackson telling people to stop being such bigotted-ass motherfuckers.

Now, I don't know about you, but I have had it with these motherfucking Mormons in my motherfucking state!

They need $1.5 million to get this ad on the air over the weekend. Even better, a lot of Silicon Valley entrepeneurs are doing donation matching through tonight. That means your dollar goes twice as far. But you have to donate NOW.

Go here and donate now:

Thank you for your support. Seriously.

I don't even know why I had you on ignore, man. I added you like a year ago and was just too lazy to ever go remove it. I always clicked on and read all your posts.

People, if you can't donate $20, donate $10 or even $5 ... every cent counts. KILL THIS PROPOSITION WITH FIRE.

I need that $20 to buy Gears 2 this week, sorry

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #6 on:** October 31, 2008, 05:52:39 PM »

Actually, I'm gonna put my money where my mouth is.

I'll match EB donations on this up to $250 until 8 PM PST tonight.

PM me the Payment Information section of your confirmation e-mail after you make a donation:

Code: [Select]

Payment Information:
================================
Transaction ID: 12345678

etc. You can leave off your real name, I just want to get the formatting from you to make sure I'm matching real donations.

So if you donate $20, I'll donate $20, and a Silicon Valley entrepeneur will donate $20. So you're really donating $60. THIS IS AN AMAZING OFFER. DONATE, YOU GAYBOS.

I just put in $50, so that's two and a half of us covered.

This, just so you know, is NOT STOPPING people from donating to Yes on 8. It's not an excuse.

Yeah, like 40% of the Yes on 8 advertising is coming from Utah. (And 80% of the Yes on 8 advertising is coming from Mormons.)

TVC15 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 31, 2008, 06:01:48 PM »

I would donate even more money if it would go towards a movie where Samuel L. Jackson just shot mormons for 90 minutes.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #14 on:** October 31, 2008, 06:02:37 PM »

Okay, I donated another $100 on top of the $75 I've already given to No on 8. Mad props to Debaser and TVC15 for their generosity. But that doesn't mean I'm letting the rest of you closeted sphincternauts off the hook. DONATE.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #15 on:** October 31, 2008, 06:03:18 PM »

Donated $25.

That is $75 total from me so cigarillos in CA can get married.

BlackMage · « **Reply #16 on:** October 31, 2008, 06:03:40 PM »

I did what i could!!

TVC15 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 31, 2008, 06:04:06 PM »

I think the prize for this should be that the person that donates the most gets to gay marry Synthesizer Patel.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #18 on:** October 31, 2008, 06:05:21 PM »

thanks BlackMage, you rock!

I still don't know how much Cohen donated.

I just upped my donation matching to $250, so that's an extra $150 you queefophobes can fleece me for.

No worries, Eric - we know your situation.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #29 on:** October 31, 2008, 06:18:18 PM »

I would still give money, but at the moment:

1. I have $15 dollars
2. It's in cash, not on a debit card
3. That's all I'm getting until the Monday after the election.

So, while I really wish I COULD give money, I can't. Like, literally. It's impossible for me to give money right now at 6 PM EST.

Eric P · « **Reply #30 on:** October 31, 2008, 06:18:52 PM »

to make amends, i will have sex with a guy this weekend

Thanks a ton, everyone! I'm $275 "in the hole"

to No on 8, but I feel really good about it. This impromptu fundraiser has been a blast.

If you haven't donated already, please do so! Your donation will still be matched by rich dudes with "more in their pockets"

than me. But, as the vicar said to the choirboy, I'm spent.

As a kid and a teen I went to a summer camp that was run by three Mormon brothers. They were great guys and it was some of the best times of a lackluster adolescence.

I'm a little glad I've fallen out of contact with them, cause I'm afraid of finding out what they think about these shenanigans.

Eh, I don't know. Regardless of people in Utah wasting their money I don't really want to try and meddle in the affairs of another state like they are... we have the federal government to do that.

If it were my state I'd probably donate, but I'm with Bloodwake.

Maybe after this election they'll be able to institute same sex marriage on the federal level, but I doubt it'll happen soon. It'll have to wait until all the old voting bastards die and our generation takes their place because we won't care. Until then it's one of those political suicide stances like drug policy reform.

On an issue like this, youre either for it or you arent. Commercials can't objectively lay out a pro-con on either side of the fence. It comes down to defending a belief, which most people are decided on already. So Utah spams ads, it isn't going to change minds, if anything it will let people who disagree know that they need to get out and vote.

Its not like a tax plan.

That's not true; No on 8 was up by 22 points, but the Mormons have closed 17 points of that gap over the past 6 weeks through spamming false smear advertising.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #57 on:** November 01, 2008, 03:53:00 PM »

I'm out of state and donated because as gay marriage will start becoming legalized throughout the US (it will happen in our lifetimes), we will all come across these Propositions that will try to stifle it. If Proposition 8 passes, then that will start a precedent that will try to keep the United States back in Norman Rockwell 20th century "small town values" that are fucked up.

When this issue arrives in my state, it would be nice if all Americans took an interest in making sure we modernize as a nation and that includes equal rights for marriage. Iowa already had gay marriage legal for a day or so it might be coming to my state here within the next decade or two.
