what's up with the YES on 8 extortion story (christians threaten business for $10 K)??
havent heard anything about it here in CA on local news radio stations. Did the fact that yes on 8 campaign threaten punishment to businesses that would not give them $10K make into the news in CA or nationally?

3. I heard the fundies have a list of contributors to the NO on 8 campaign and are
threatening to widely publicize how they HATE TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE unless they make an equal contribution to YES on 8.

I would politely decline and post a notice in my waiting room about how I won't support denial of somebody a basic human right because of how they were born. Anybody that would refuse to use me as a vet because I refuse to deny someone civil rights is free to use another vet. Life is to short to spend it catering to freaks.

4. Hey...no such thing as bad publicity
They might reach a few nutsacks, but they will also be free advertising, and that costs a lot more than a small business could afford. I would love to see the "list of businesses that hate traditional marriage." I would make sure that I frequented them more myself.

5. That's what I figure. You'd get more clients than you'd lose, and you'd
wind up with a better quality client, IMHO (extreme fundies tend not to be the most caring of pet owners, compared to gays).
