NO on 8: 48 HOURS LEFT
Oct 1
Dear friends,
Thank you for stepping up for our civil rights. I’m so proud to have such big-hearted and generous people on our Sweet list. In the past two weeks, you’ve stood up for our rights and donated over $10,000 to No on 8. You guys rock!
Newlyweds Carol and Sarah from Brooklyn, New York, won our Sweet Caribbean Cruise for two. We’re looking forward to celebrating their first anniversary on our maiden voyage.
We had 110 people donate to No on 8 from all over the United States and Canada. You shared amazing stories with us, stories full of love, compassion and a fervent desire to preserve our equal rights. Some of you gave up your vacations this year, some of you donated despite being recently unemployed, some of you donated as much as you could spare each week and many of you recruited donations from your friends and family.

Since returning from the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, the well-known Christian hymn “Amazing Grace” has been constantly humming in my head. Behind the computer screen, telephone, co-workers, daily errands, car horns, traffic, schedules and deadlines, I hear it so clearly.
“Amazing Grace how sweet the sound!” Read the rest of this entry »

It’s no secret that I positively adore Edie Carey. She’s an amazing singer, songwriter and friend.
She’s one of 20 finalists to play on the Cayamo Cruise in February 2009 alongside Shawn Colvin, Patty Griffin, Lyle Lovett, Brandi Carlile, Indigo Girls and more. Brava, Edie.
Let’s vote Edie to victory once a day until September 23, 2008. Vote now!
