40% = Minority
Marriage amendment foes have 'No Nonsense' plan (Kristen Mack, Houston Chronicle)
Opponents of a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage admitted early on that they have little chance of defeating the measure on November's ballot.
But they've still organized against it, calling their campaign No Nonsense in November.
Glen Maxey, a former Democratic representative from Austin who is openly gay, is the campaign's director.
The Austin-based campaign hopes to take its message statewide, urging the amendment's opponents to donate to the cause and volunteer to help wage an aggressive, statewide voter identification and get-out-the-vote effort.
"This amendment is pure nonsense," said Maxey. "Instead of focusing on issues that really matter to Texans, like education and school finance, the Texas Legislature gives us this hateful, divisive amendment that is redundant and unnecessary."
Our Friends on the Left seem never to tire of fighting for candidates and issues that energize 40% of voters.
Run every race and all that.
