Blend-o-licious endorsements...

The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)

Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).
"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008

Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:
A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)

Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Gary Randall Falling Behind on Referendum 71 Signatures

by: Lurleen

Fri Jul 10, 2009 at 13:29:23 PM EDT

Two weeks to the signature gathering deadline for the anti-family Referendum 71, and Gary Randall finally released a progress report.

Conservatively, we have a little over 75,000 signatures to date.

With an ultimate goal of 150,000 signatures, it might seem that Gary's glass is half full. However, the petition has been in circulation for a full month now, or 2/3 of the time they had to collect signatures. If Oregon Gary's Washington operatives had been keeping pace, they should have already collected about 100,000 signatures. Gary Randall is falling behind.

Consider also that most of the captive audiences (churches, political groups) would have been mined for signatures by now. So where will the other half come from? A public that massively supports domestic partnerships? I'm not saying it's impossible, but I think it's telling that Gary must sic the Knights of Columbus on the state this weekend in a last-ditch attempt to scrounge signatures. I wonder if all that donor cash spent on Larry Stickney's opulent salary and Gary' Randall's frivolous website would have been better spent on paid signature-gatherers?

Only 12 days left

Actually they have less than 2 weeks left, 12 days, to collect the remaining 75,000 signatures since Gary and Larry want the petitions in the mail to them by the 22nd...

A thought

Sometimes I think I should just set up a little anti-gay foundation, write some inflammatory articles, post them on a website and wait for the checks to start rolling in. I wouldn't do any real work, just pretend like these guys. I'd do it too, if only I thought I'd be able to sleep at night.

actually, you should do just that.

And then, you should announce that a 900 foo high jesus told you you shouldn't, and that you should donate the money to pro-marriage equality.

In war do morals count?

Close the GayTM. Only give to candidates who have actually done something other than make promises - most are just pandering for our cash.

I've had the same thoughts

It would be so easy and to take funds from the haters is very enticing.

BS! I'd bet.....

.....he doesn't have near that many. Having a larger number will just make ot seem better when he says he failed at the deadline.

Anyone from WASHINGTON out there...THEY WANT PICS.

Got this from Decline to sign on FB:

I am writing you to ask for two more weeks of your help. Our opponents announced today that they have approximately 75,000 signatures toward their goal of 120,555 to place referendum 71 on the ballot. Their deadline is July 25. They are working very hard every day to achieve their goal. I need you to work with me to stop them.
Every day for the next two weeks I am going to send you an action item. It will be a simple way for you to help protect equality in Washington. Today, I am requesting photographs of your family. Please e-mail them to photos@jointheimpactwa.org
Amy Balliett and I will be editing together a web commercial over the weekend with your photos of you and your family to broadcast throughout the internet. The commercial will be simple yet powerful. Please include your permission for us to use your photo in your e-mail.
Thank you for your help!
Your friend,

I will send them a picture of my boyfriend and his kitty

It is a large kitty and somehow manages to make even me look slim. Poor large kitty and her fat kitty genetics.

There are 750,000 Catholics in Washington State

Although I'm certain most of the ones who intended to sign have already done so, it's quite possible that the KoC can twist some arms to get 10% of the congregants to sign up.
