announcement encouraging LDS support of anti-Gay legislation
----
Brothers and Sisters,
We have been informed that Sunday morning, June 29, after members have
heard the letter from the First Presidency read from the pulpit, some
news crews may attempt to interview members of the Church as they are
leaving services.
While we cannot, nor should we, do anything to stop the media from
interviewing rank and file members -- who are not speaking on behalf
of the Church, it would be against the guidance from headquarters for
any such interview or for news cameras to be in our Church buildings.
Please note that SLC, and the California office of Public Affairs are
both referring any media inquiries on the subject to the coalition
handling the campaign. It is imperative that DPA's and their
Assistants do the same. Any institutional media inquiries on this
issue should be referred to Frank Schubert or Jeff Flint at 916 448
4234 at coalition headquarters.
For further questions regarding the role of Public Affairs, please
call Keith Atkinson @ 800 533 2444.
Thank you.
Keith Atkinson

We all want a decent society. Pls don't remove my comments again, thanks!
Chino,
Don't think I've removed your comment -- unless you are TPMCafé -- who dropped a link to their site -- having nothing to do with this conversation.
Clair,
This site is really a great resource.
The TPMCafé link got dropped here (by me) because my post over there included a link to this post here.
I'll lay off doing that in future. Sorry.
Chino,
Ahh. I see.
I guess I didn't look closely at it. Sometimes, people drop links to sites that have nothing to do with the conversation. I incorrectly assumed this about the link.
Feel free to re-post it if you'd like. I'll try to keep a closer eye out next time! :-)
I'm back! Sorry, couldn't resist. I was just over at Jeff Flint's place (Red County) and ran across this recent comment of his:
JEFF FLINT SAID:
"I'm for change....blah blah blah...I's for bringing people together...blah blah blah...let me quote Obama some more....blah blah blah...."

My wild guess is that Obama's gonna win big in California this November. If I'm right about that, I have to wonder what Jeff, as co-campaign manager for the California Protection of Marriage initiative (the Yes on 8 side), is thinking he's gonna accomplish by posting comments like the one above.
You'd think he'd be savvy enough to avoid:
a) angering California's Obama supporters, and
b) sounding like a 12-year-old Al Jolson.
If this is the best PR that the ProtectMarriage.com coalition money can buy, it's time to put a fork in Yes on 8, because it's done.
This Thursday, August 14th, from 5:30 p.m - 8:30 p.m. at 2020 Main Street, Irvine, California:
ACTION ALERT: Tell the Right-Wing Consultants NO to Prop 8!
We're bringin' it to Frank and Jeff this Thursday.
