WATCH: Sen. Ruben Diaz' Anti-Gay Marriage Rally in the Bronx

Yesterday, many folks (haters and supporters) attended the Anti-Gay marriage rally in the Bronx. This was designed by the hateful Sen. Ruben Diaz with a little help from NOM. Please check out the video clips

Tennesseans Rally against the "Don't Say Gay' Bill


The 'Don't Say Gay' Bill has fired up some Tennesseans to take action. Over 70 people rallied against the bill, hoping to drum up more support to stop it.

Thursday's half-hour rally was held a few feet away from the Oak Ridge Turnpike in front of the Civic Center and across the street from Oak Ridge High School. Teachers, students, parents, clergy, and community leaders gave short speeches and held signs with slogans such as "Stand on the Side of Love" and "It's okay to say gay."

Passing motorists showed their support by honking or giving thumbs-up signals.

"Gay doesn't mean bad," said Alesha Hicks, an Oak Ridge High School senior and GSA president. She said Campfield's legislation would tell children that bullying because of sexual orientation is OK.

Those who spoke at the rally, organized by the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church and the GSA at ORHS and Karns High School, said gay students have to endure ignorance, intolerance, and regular name-calling -- and they sometimes live in fear of brutality.

There are more rallies planned. Maybe this will spread throughout my home state.

DADT Rally on Friday in D.C.


Servicemembers Legal Defense Network will rally in D.C. on Friday.

This is what they had to say:

We call upon the Senate and the President to remain in session and in Washington until the National Defense Authorization Act is passed - which includes the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." The Senate is scheduled to break for holiday vacation; we can't let them leave. We must show our rage for repeal and insist the Senate stay in Washington until they have finished the job. We implore all who support repeal to join us outside the Senate this Friday. As Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said, ‘If not now, when?'

The lame-duck vote on repeal was set up and dictated by some of the same Senators - like Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) -- who are now delaying to kill the bill. They wanted the Pentagon report - now they have it. They wanted hearings - now they're done. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he is determined to pass the defense bill with repeal. Senators must not be allowed to hide any longer behind process, procedure, and tax cuts for the wealthy, while the discrimination continues. Let's take a stand. Let's demand that senators not go home until their work is done.

Join the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network at the Senate THIS Friday, December 10th, at noon, for the "Mission: Incomplete" Rally.

WHEN:
Friday, December 10th
12 p.m.

WHERE:
Constitution Ave. & Delaware Ave. at Upper Senate Park
(Near U.S. Capitol)
Washington, DC

Interesting Quote: Alveda King


When I join Beck and all gathered at the Lincoln Memorial this weekend, I will talk about my Uncle Martin and the America he envisioned. I will talk about honor and character and sacrifice. I will be joined by those who represent the diversity of the human race.

On Saturday, Uncle Martin’s dream of personhood and human dignity will resound across America. And the Park Police should consider themselves forewarned: As we stand in the symbolic shadow of the great American who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, we just might sing.

Glenn Beck talks about why he's holding a Rally during MLK's Anniversary


Glenn Beck is having his Restoring Honor rally tomorrow at the Lincoln Memorial. For some reason, he believes that Honor is lost in America.

But he also believes this is the best time a place to do it:

Beck himself says that it’s only a coincidence that his mass meeting will be held on the MLK anniversary. For months he has insisted that it was originally planned for Sept. 12 – the 9-12 Project is the name of a Beck-led values revival effort, after all. Then he realized that date was a Sunday this year, and he did not want to rally on Sunday. So he changed it.

Saturday, Aug. 28, was the best match for the schedule of other people involved in the rally, Beck has said.

And it is true that the coming weekend is a big one for “tea party”-related events in Washington. Many tea-party members probably would have been in town anyway, and this way they can add a Beck rally to their schedules.

FreedomWorks, a tea-party organizational group, is holding its own “Take America Back” convention on Friday evening at the Daughters of the American Revolution’s Constitution Hall. The conservative political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity, founded by billionaire David Koch, is holding a big “Defending the American Dream” summit on Friday and Saturday, as well.

Beck says that his rally is nonpolitical. Sarah Palin is speaking, but no elected GOP lawmakers are scheduled to appear. The tea-party group conventions, however, decidedly are political.

Well, he lies. This is political. The Tea Party is involved, Moose Mess is involved... It is political.
I hope to see this mess on TV. I want to hear the foolishness being pushed out there.

Plus, Rev. Al Sharpton is going to be there, and he's bringing a rally with him. So this Honor rally may be poppin'.

Pics of the DADT Rally at the White House...so far

Today the GetEQUAL DADT rally is going as we speak.

Howard Dean will be speaking soon. So far this rally is a Obama-bash-o-Rama, I am hoping Dean or somebody, will steer the 'conversation' into a plan vs Haterade Alpha.

How McCain lost his way and sold his Soul


So desperate to win his seat, McCain returned to the main reason source of his election loss... Sarah Palin.

It's hard to watch a fall of a man.
