Reply #56: There was a lack of EVERYTHING

in the "No on 8." One side was WAAAAYYYY over-funded courtesy of the Mormons, KOC and fundie churches. Strangely enough, I think this would have gotten more attention overall had this NOT been a presidential election year. People's attentions were diverted to getting Obama elected. The "Yes" people used the same anti-fill-in-the-blank infrastructure that has been in place since Prohibition. Conversely, the "no" side was disjointed and woefully UNorganized. Finally, of course, I didn't see ANY outreach to minority communities and I live in an EXTREMELY multi-cultural area.

It's essential that we look at ALL elements of the Prop. 8 fight, including the above, as a blueprint so we don't make the same mistakes again.
