Good call

The American Family Association is doing an online poll on homosexual marriage. You can guess what the tally looks like right now, I'm sure.

Let's skew the results a bit, shall we? http://www.afa.net/petitions/marriagepoll.asp.

They say the results will be presented to Congress; I'm not sure in what context. But it doesn't hurt to speak up a bit.

P.S. If you sign the petition with your e-mail address, please note that you'll be added to their mailing list automatically. To remove yourself, send a blank e-mail to leave-afapetition@lists.afa.net.

[Update (11:14 a.m.): Check the running tally here.]

I've signed as "favor legalization of homosexual marriage", and will pass the URL on to all my friends!

Thanks for sharing this!

It's gone up!

When I voted this morning it was at 11% - now it's at 13% in favor!

Sweet! How did you find the results after you voted? I can't find the tally.

You might want to visit this link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/betnoir/137234.html ... it describes how this particular poll is rigged.

I'm disappointed ... I went and voted, hoping for the best. But it seems this is unreliable, like so many online petitions/polls are.

If I used emoticons, I'd insert some kind of frowny face here.

Ah, this is too bad. I wondered if something funky was up, but my hopes were high.

To clarify, I should say that that link leads to a debate over whether or not the poll is rigged. It offers no proof either way. Since I voted this morning, the percentage against gay marriage has gone down appreciably.
