I got a canned call today

[mitchtv]

will I circulate a petition "to protect marriage"?
of course I pushed the yes button. I figure it will cost, and it will be one more sheet out of their control.

1. I love how the fundies are false martyrs

always acting as if they are "under siege from the force of evil"

I say we start a petition preventing them from breeding. That might accomplish something positive!

[Warpy]

2. Nah, too many of their kids will rebel

and when kids who were raised in fundy churches rebel, they do a bang up job of it and end up rabid liberals.

We need all the rabid liberals we can get.

15. true we go.

problem is that at least for me the current democratic party is way too right wing and authoritarian for my tastes.

3. It's been tried, kind of

Washington's Initiative 957 would have made procreation a requirement for legal marriage. In-state marriages that failed to squirt out young'uns in a timely manner would have been automatically annulled, while out-of-state marriages who failed in the "principle purpose of marriage" would have been reclassed as "unrecognized marriages," ie put into an already existing class of marriages that the state refuses to recognize as valid.

Alas, it failed to get enough signatures to make the ballot.

4. The opposite of what I was asking for

I want their birthrate to be nil, not encourage them like this guy is doing:

6. I see your point n/t

:hi:

[samdogmom]

5. I like your style! I always get outraged and say ABSOLUTELY NOT!

But, now that I think about it, it's probably more effective to say yes and then do nothing!

One question: Do you get a lot of spam/strange phone calls once you get on one of these "lists"? That's my biggest fear!

[mitchtv]

7. I assume it's registered voters

It was all mechanical , they got no new info that they didn't already have. Oh I'd love them to call in person.I love to tell them I am the lady of the house.

[damntexdem]

8. Well, I got a canned Bill Clinton call.

And the next day I voted early ... for Obama.

[mitchtv]

9. How nice for you

[Touchdown]

10. Bill Clinton called me live.

I swear it was really him! He couldn't stop talking, and I couldn't get a word in edgewise. Then he hung up, but he's a busy man, so I forgave that.:shrug:

[NMMNG]

11. LOL

Won't they poo their pants when you return it and tell them nobody would sign it? :rofl:

[mitchtv]

12. Postage due

with extra blank paper:evilgrin:

[WillParkinson]

13. I can think of several people who would sign it.

George Bush
Tom Delay
etc.

Of course, they're busy people so perhaps you should just sign it for them before you send it back. :-)

[mitchtv]

If it is a legal petition...

I'd be afraid to do that I do that at the market when I can just walk away.

[mitchtv]

14. dupe

sorry

[mitchtv]

16. UPDATE: they called back

to say it was on its way.
time to send back a phone book postage due

[Cornus]

17. I do something similar

I registered to get email alerts from the AFA. When they ask me to boycott and contact some pro gay advertiser, I do just the opposite and congratulate them for supporting our community!
