Washington Election Day To-Do List: Vote, Bug others to vote, then Party!

Results will start to be posted at 8pm PST, when the "polls close." (Never mind that the state has eliminated polls.)

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même merde.

Just getting settled into my room at Holiday Inn; saw Jesse C speaking w/press (WMTW) in the lobby, so knew I was at the right place! ;)

Listen closely. This is important. You are living in Maine, or Washington or CA or Anywhere USA. You were raised Roman Catholic and were baptised and probably confirmed in that faith system. You are now an atheist and hold absolute hatred for that Church. Do I have your attention? Do I really have your attention? Do you really want to make a statement that will mean something?

OK. ! The first thing that you must understand that UNLESS YOU RENOUNCE YOUR CATHOLICISM, AND EXCOMMUNICATE YOURSELF (IN LATIN, EXCOMMUNICATIO PRO SE), YOU ARE STILL CONSIDERED A ROMAN CATHOLIC, A MEMBER OF THE POPE'S JURISDICTION, A MEMBER OF THE BISHOP'S DIOCESE, AND A MEMBER OF YOUR PARISH.

I can hear you NOW!!! Expletive, Expletive, Expletive......I do not give a ......expletive......what the Catholic Church does with my membership. I haven't darkened their door in decades....I hate the religion. I am an atheist.. I hate all magic shows......those goddammned paedophiles......etc....

Again, flood the diocesan phone banks, call your parish church.......EXCOMMUNICATE YOURSELF....TELL THEM TO TAKE YOUR NAME OFF THEIR GODDAMNED COMMUNICANT ROLES. Imagine the stunned monsignori at the Diocesan offices, or Father at the local parish. Send the Pope an excommunication letter at the Vatican City website, but TELL THE MAINE CATHOLIC HOMOPHOBIC LEADERS THAT THE LAST STRAW HAS BEEN DRAWN....AND YOU ARE EXCOMMUNICATING YOURSELF.

THE CATHOLIC CLOSET MUST BE CLOSED. If you have never officially left the Catholic Church, you are still considered and counted as one of their sheeple. STOP THE PAIN, STOP THE LIES, STOP THE HYPOCRISY SO THAT ...............THEY...................KNOW IT.

Now this is a good idea. Personally I will do this soon, but right now my MIL is 90, my FIL was Deacon of the Church I was married in...and MIL is supportive fully of my SIL and her female partner. So will be waiting a while to do.
For now I will wear Rainbow/Equality attire and leave a note to same in collection plate of any Catholic function I am forced to attend.

It's the Hammer of JUSTICE,
It's the Bell of FREEDOM,
It's the Song about LOVE between,
my Brothers and my Sisters
...All over this Land.

On a side note, I'm really proud of our local government that they've developed tools like this to support good citizenship.  

If you would indulge me. My IM with him last night.

Me: Hey are you voting tomorrow?

Friend: No
Friend: voting for?

Me:There are some referendums up for vote

Him: (Scratches chin emoticon)

Me: Referendum 71

Him: I don't know what that one is.

Me: It's to keep the domestic partnership law on the books

Him: Oh ok, I seen that one on the TV

Me: It's a good law to keep.

Him:  Ok
Him: (scratches chin emoticon)

Me: http://approvereferendum71.org/
Me: It's not just about lesbian and gay relationships. There are lots of straight couples with domestic partnerships.

Him: I think everyone should have equal rights

Me: (hug emoticon)

Him: don't you think?

Me: Yes
Me: Do you have the ballot?

Him: Not on hand.

Me: Yeah. Equal repersontation.

He: Representation

Cisgender. Because "Genetic" is so 2006.

Dena

P.S. I'm going to follow up and make sure he drops off his ballot.  


Cisgender. Because "Genetic" is so 2006.

Me: Man, election day is tomorrow.
Her: Yeah, my ballot's somewhere in the mail pile.
Me: Err, I need you to vote. Really badly.
Her: Why?
Me: Remember R-71?
Her: ...OH! CRAP! When is the deadline?
Me: Tomorrow, sometime around 8PM. You need to vote. _I_ need you to vote.
Her: Damnit, I've ignored by ballot the past three years because there wasn't really anything important on there. Gotta find it! Thanks for reminding me!
