How about this idea for Prop 8 protests?
Rather than marching on churches or in the gayborhoods, what if we find out which county offices in the larger counties in the state issue the highest number of marriage licenses on a weekly basis, and start protests and blockades to keep them from issuing ANY marriage licenses?

2. And I'm sure that Rosa Parks refusing to sit at the back of the bus
and the march on Selma made a lot of people angry too.

The time for peaceful demonstrations is over. Especially if the CA Supreme Court upholds Prop 8.

3. Oh, I am through being polite!
FUCK THAT. There are plenty of examples when stirring up shit helped. It didn't feel like that at the time, but sometimes all that polite gets you is older.
