In Brief: What Democracy Looks Like
FROM NOVEMBER 2008 ENEWS (VOL.5, NO.11)

on facebook several said don’t give up hope on prop 8 or amendment 2 - “only a few precints have counted” but here I wake up at 4am and see that Amendment 2 passed - to change the florida constitution to include DOMA language. And sadly Prop 8 also “losing” - reversing the ruling ealier [...]
