Pols'ters I hope you will also urge the Gazette to reverse it's decision by signing -

Colorado Springs Gazette reporter Barrett Tryon has been placed on unpaid “administrative leave” by his employers for posting an LA Times story on his personal Facebook page. According to Carmen Boles, content director of the Gazette, the Facebook post violated the social media policy of Freedom Co.

Beyond the absurdity of attempted censorship by a newspaper, traditionally an institution that promotes free speech is the issue of employee rights. Join me in asking the Colorado Springs Gazette to reverse its arcane social media policy that tramples on free speech and reinstate with back pay the reporter today!

1 in 10 Americans are on Unemployment - that is a staggering fact, one that affects our fellow LGBT brothers and sisters at a high rate. With the push for DADT repeal, I hope you will also take a second to demand that Congress extend Unemployment Benefits to the millions of Americans who are out of work.

Just wanted to share a new web video by the John Lingenfelder campaign where we went out and spoke to republicans about the job Sam Johnson is doing for them.

The race is really heating up down here and it is flying under the radar, the republicans in this district are really tired of Sam Johnson and his 20 years in Congress.

Be among the very first to wish Sam Johnson a happy retirement... and have some fun at his expense

John Lingenfelder for Congress has released a new program to highlight the failures of his opponent Sam Johnson in the Texas 3rd. Retire Sam is a way to send Sam Johnson your own well wishes that will be hand delivered by the campaign to Sam's Congressional office!

Hello Fellow listers,

Right now the Progressive powerhouse Democracy for America is doing a national voting campaign to figure out who to support as a Grassroots allstar. For any race that wins it will be a huge bump for the campaign. I urge the list readers to consider helping each of the 4 campaigns who filled out the questionnaire for support and asking your friends to do the same. Brining the fight to a place like TX - 03 and forcing Sam Johnson to work because he has a credible opponent this year is worth the time to make the vote.

Some GREAT news to share with the list about Openly LGBT Congressional candidate Ed Potosnak.

Here is a poll they just got back a poll last night that shows that his message is working and his opponent is in major trouble. A whopping 46% of people in NJ- 7 want Leonard Lance out of office, and it's not just Democrats, but also Republicans and Independents who are dissatisfied with Leonard Lance's "Washington insider" approach to representing his constituents.

The team they have put in place has put the campaign within striking distance for this November. When voters learn more about Ed, and how he wants to get the job done is Washington, he already is coming within 4% of defeating Leonard Lance after the poll questions! (Lance 47-Potosnak 43).

The most stunning news to me is that only 31% of respondents think that Leonard Lance should keep his job. This tells me, that after already spending hundreds of thousands of dollars and barely winning his Republican Primary, Lance is ripe to be taken out. This race is quickly shaping up to be one of the best chances to pick up a Democratic seat as well as add another LGBT candidate to Congress.

You can learn more at www.EdPotosnak.com

Passing along this great program from the National Stonewall Democrats. It is great to see NSD come out with such a strong program supporting so many races.

After a month of voting and 50,000 votes cast, Stonewall Democrats have their final ElectEquality candidates! They are Tim Bishop, David Cicililne, Scott Galvin, Alexi Giannoulias, Paul Hodes, Rush Holt, Kendrick Meek, Patrick Murphy, Ed Potosnak, Steve Pougnet, Carol Shea-Porter and Dina Titus.

You may have noticed that instead of the ten candidates they are throwing our weight behind twelve ElectEquality candidates. The board of directors of National Stonewall Democrats PAC was blown away by the overwhelming support each of these candidates received -- and by how tight the race was -- and simply couldn't cull the list down to ten.

Now that selecting the candidates is done, it's time to take out all the stops and throw our unequivocal support behind each and every one of them at http://www.actblue.com/...

The fate of pro-equality legislation in the Congress depends entirely on who we elect this fall. Don't miss this opportunity to do what you can to support the ElectEquality candidates.

Hello Fellow Pro Choice Dems,

I wanted to reach out to you about introducing a Pro Choice Champion Scott Withers www.withers2010.com who is taking on Anti Choice Democrat Representative Dale E. Kildee (MI) in the Michigan Primary for the Democratic Nomination Aug 3rd

For years, you and I witnessed Rep. Kildee’s (D-Mich.) ruthless attempts end access to choice for women, so much so it he has been Rated 0% by NARAL also the ACLU rates him at 53% percent. He also has a 40% rating from the Christian Coalition.

Well it’s time to tell Mr. Kildee that his anti choice days are numbered and I hope I can convince you to learn about Scott Withers who will be a 100% pro choice supportive Democrat at www.withers2010.com.

Today in the House of Representatives openly gay Members account for a whopping total of 0.68% or three of the 435 members of congress. In the Senate there are zero out of the 100 members. This election cycle we have the ability to double the number of openly gay officials to 1.37% of the 435 by electing three more great candidates running for the House.

We fight daily for Congress to pay attention to our issues and represent us but with only three members in Congress we get drowned out by other groups fighting for floor time with larger voting blocs. We need to build up our team in Congress and fast; we need to move beyond feeling lucky to elect one new out member each few cycles. In the panic of the Democratic Party to defend it’s majorities we have three shining stars running who are out, viable and can be elected with our community’s help.

On May 6, 2009, the Governor of Maine signed the law ending discrimination in marriage for same-sex couples, but it is already being threatened. Our fight to protect civil rights through marriage equality is just beginning out here in Maine. Almost immediately, national opponents of equality declared they wanted to turn back the clock and are working tirelessly to place a measure on this November’s ballot – modeled after California’s Prop 8 – to take away the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry in Maine.

The national movement for civil rights is at a critical juncture on the issue of marriage equality. The phrase as Maine goes, so goes the nation has been used to describe Maine's bell weather potential and we expect it to ring true on national battleground for marriage equality. When this referendum goes to the ballot in November, Maine could become the first state to successfully defend marriage equality by a popular vote.

We are very proud to show off our new website to at http://mainefreedomtomarry.com/

Passing this along from the Senate race in NC - Go Hagen Team!

Well, I may have had the oddest GOTV job of the election season. Dressed as Dorothy, along with my friend Tin Man, we followed Senator Elizabeth Dole around for a week on her 'Elizabus' tour across North Carolina. We were there to remind folks that Dole was registered to vote in Kansas for 25 years before switching her registration to run in NC, and TinMan reminded folks that she has accepted more than $300K in contributions from Big Oil. We got a little bit of press and were a constant annoyance, and then the unthinkable happened. Please see attached picture

We have entered into high level negotiations to bring Elizabeth Dole back to Kansas. We are close to realizing our dream. Photo from Union County Summit attached. Negotions could be described as 'business like'. Tin ManSent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Today I was handed this flyer and it makes me wonder... should I vote Udall now that I know that he is working with Bigfoot! Enjoy everyone knowing Bigfoot is the reason Mark Udall will win his senate election! Mark Udall is facing Republican Bob Schaffer in one of the toughest senate battles in the country. Seeing smear attacks such as this one you can see why it is so close. Linking Mark Udall with Big Foot can sway a crucial vote in Colorado known as the Bigfoot for President Change Party.
