The push-poll phone call I discussed earlier <\/a>came from FEC Research – The One True B!X<\/a> has more information about FEC Research, which seems like a pretty sleazy outfit, and links to other folks who received the call. Check it out.<\/p>\n

ACTIONS: Why not call the Yes on 36 campaign – 1 (877) 203-9595 – and let them know what you think of their bigoted little push polling campaign? Even if it does nothing else, it’ll take up a little of their time. It’s a free call (well, free to you, not to them), so call even if you live far, far away from Oregon. Heck, call them frequently. Call just to chat. Call from Europe.<\/p>\n

But if you do call them, be polite. I’m not saying this because I’m a prude (although I am) – I’m saying this because if the “yes on 36” campaign receives a lot of abusive or threatening calls, that could help them, if they can get the press to write about it. Just politely tell them that campaign calls pretending to be neutral polls, and appealing to bigoted stereotypes, are unethical and make all of us worse off.<\/p>\n

Even better, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE <\/b>take out your credit card and contribute to the no on 36 campaign<\/a>. Oregon is the only state besides Massachusetts where the good guys have a real shot at fighting off the anti-marriage-equality campaign. If you can afford to give even $10, then it’s worth your time to contribute, and it helps keep ads like this one <\/a>on TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
