Yesterday I skated around the Castro Street Fair with a homemade sign promoting World Farm Animals Day (October 2) on one side, and opposing Proposition H on the other. I liked juxtaposing the two concepts (sending the message that gun rights are aimed at tyrants, not animals). 8) I was expecting comments on the perceived incongruity of the messages, or objections to the No on H position, but gratifyingly I got no negative comments on either, while several people expressed support. In fact I did not see anyone at the event supporting Prop. H. Even when I went by the Green Party booth, and got into a debate about consumer regulation of marijuana dispensaries, while prominently holding the sign, the issue never came up. In fact I noticed on a list of Green Party endorsements that they are officially taking no position on the measure. They are also opposing a pair of bond measures on the ballot (A and B), and the firefighter union's featherbedding Prop. F as well -- not bad!
Yours in liberty,
<<< Starchild >>>
P.S. - I still have the sign, which mentions the Pink Pistols along with the Libertarian Party and the SFGunBan.com website. If anyone has a good place to display it, they are welcome to it. It's roughly the size of a campaign lawn sign.
That is HUGE!!! We need to make this grass-roots effort look as big and as broad as possible. It'd also be a great opportunity to bring up the threat H poses to the 4th Amendment, and that little big word, "penalty", that is written into the measure. I want the viewing public demanding to know what the penalty will be, putting the proponents on the spot over issues they're trying very hard not to think about.
