Attended the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club meeting last night at the LGBT Community Center to hear an update on the November election including a presentation from David Latterman.
The first item on the agenda was an update on the No on 8 Campaign being fought through the courts. The fight is being fought regarding if Yes on 8 was an amendment or a revision of the constitution . No on 8 has excellent legal advice and they have strong support on the courts.
David Latterman gave his power point presentation showing how people voted on No on 8 and a brief review of the San Francisco election -( still not done!) - but looks like there probably won't be any further changes in results - just figures.
There was discussion how to go forward on No on 8 - as Co-Chair of Alice, Susan Christian said "election night was the best of times and the worse of times". It has been agreed to move forward - no blaming anyone for the loss on No on 8 - just move forward to the next step.
I was pleased to see a Boardroom named after Dick Pabich - I think Dick would have been pleased with this honor. We could have used Dick Pabich and Jim Rivaldo's expertise on the No on 8 campaign.
