Courage Campaign - Support the fight in the "court" of popular opinion
From the webpage -

Prop 8 is unconstitutional! Judge Vaughn Walker's federal court decision is an historic milestone in the fight for full equality, but it is only a first step. The right-wing -- led by the National Organization for Marriage and Focus on the Family -- will stop at nothing to delegitimize the decision before it is appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

We can't let them get away with it. That's why we launched "Testimony: Equality on Trial" -- a national year-long campaign to bring the Prop 8 federal trial into the lives of Americans and show them why this decision is the right one -- and why it must be defended.

And it's why we need your help to get the truth out about this trial. With the right-wing already organizing to undermine this historic victory, just as they did in 2008 when the California Supreme Court recognized marriage equality, your support for Testimony: Equality on Trial will help us stay on offense as the trial is appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Today's historic decision must be defended in the court of public opinion. That's why Tom Dolby and Drew
Frist have stepped up to make a $25,000 matching grant challenge to the Courage community so we can fight back together against the right-wing's framing of this trial, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. But we need your help now to make the match in the next 48 hours.
