talkback
We are less than one month away from E-Day and the reasons behind this amendment are becoming more and more clear. Since the end of March, leaked memos from our opposition revealed that ”The strategic goal of this project is to drive a wedge between gays and blacks — two key Democratic constituencies.
The opposition wants you to think they have registered domain over faith and religion while our Coalition to Protect NC Families has proved them wrong every step of the way. This amendment will affect unmarried families that are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Agnostic, a fact they may have overlooked. Charlotte voters, however, have not.
Continuing with our theme of speaking out against Amendment One, this issue we have a letter from Ashlei Blue, Regional Field Director for The Coalition to Protect All NC Families.
It has been said that one of the best ways to combat Amendment One is to speak out about it and share your opposition. We want to give our readers a place to speak out against Amendment One and what better place than our talkback section!
