I think there's too much editing of the questions by the moderators, and this effectively cuts the people out of this process. It's one of the only open processes there is, so it's really cutting into the principle underneath this effort.
I would like to ask JD Smith how OutServe protects servicemembers from others finding out they are gay. Clearly this is less important today then before, but it could still be important for some servicemembers.
could each of the panelists give their opinion on The American Equality Bill,,, do they endorse it?? and what is their opinion on solidifying all efforts on that one goal???
We've seen that our opponents are very good at forming long-lasting coalitions and coordinating campaigns from state to state -- for example, the Proponents of Prop 8 were able to recycle their campaign in Maine, and they continue to exist and defend Prop 8 while nearly all of the the No On 8 groups disbanded after the election. Is anything being done with social media to facilitate coordination amongst all the various marriage equality organizations? This week's Valentine's Day rallies seem to offer some hope, with GetEQUAL and MEUSA organizing national actions at local wedding counters. Will we see more actions in the future that are locally-focused but nationally-coordinated, and will social media play a role in that?
Bob: Adam Bink (from the Courage Campaign) is a question moderator, not a panelist... so he won't be able to address this. Feel free to address this question or any other question you wish to the panelists. Thanks.
Does Courage Campaign endorse the American Equality BillK?
I've noticed that following the online discussions has given many of us on the pro-equality side an enormously better insight into the political and legal processes involved in the equality fight, but wonder how it is that it does not seem to offer the same benefits to those on the other side. Do you have any thoughts about the differences in your audiences in this respect? Prop8TrialTracker member, and founder of Feed Equality with several other P8TT folks
For each panelist: What's the size of your group in terms of staff, volunteers, and budget.
Without a focused and a comprehensive legislative demand for equal civil rights, how effective can a media campaign actually be? I.e., if we are spread like the wind, does it really matter what tools we have to use?
Health Care for America delivered 1.2 million phone calls in one day. Reform Immigration for America has a national coalition connected to thousands of groups and state-level coalitions that can churn our calls and marches over night. And Change.org and Moveon.org are engaged in aggressive campaigns on a variety of topics. Question: Is our movement keeping up with best practices, are we coordinated and ready for action, and do we have a comprehensive media plan for equality?
Does Brian wish to describe the decision by FriendFactor to require "Facebook Connect" for its users? Why was this the initial choice to growing the site? Are there plans for Friendfactor to expand beyond and outside the Facebook interface and its ongoing privacy issues?
