Subject: Interesting Poll to Vote In


In the area of 'Just Thought You'd Want To Know' - the 'American Family Association' (a conservative group sponsoring such websites as nogaymarriage.com) has put together a poll asking Americans their opinions on the topic of Gay marriage.

Apparently they've been so surprised by the results, their plans to forward the poll to Congress have been put off indefinately.

Go figure.

[> I saw on CNN (as I was coming out) that Ohio has voted to not only ban gay marriages in their state, but not recognize gay unions from other states. Do we really need Ohio, anyway? -- Amy, 06:45:10 01/23/04 Fri

[> Funny you said that. They interviewed a married lesbian, and she said the effect of the law would be devastating to the economy because of that, and because business owners wouldn't want to be in Ohio -- Amy, 08:29:00 01/23/04 Fri

[> [> Its really rather surprising what effects just a few such letters can have. -- gumtree, 08:47:40 01/23/04 Fri

Congressmen and most large businesses use a statistical program that basically says "If you're getting 5 letters on a topic, it means that there's at least 20 more people out there who feel the same way - but won't bother to write."

Thus, a 'few' letters can be pretty scary.
