Show the Media You’re Out There, Support Prop. 8
by Sonja Eddings Brown - Deputy Communications Director on October 5th, 2008There’s nothing quite like being on the front lines for Prop. 8, interacting with the media, trying to carry our message to reporters, answering questions with three lines ringing and a TV crew on the way. Proposition 8 is the 2nd biggest race in the country this November, it will be everywhere. I want you all to know that I will do my very best to represent the cause. There isn’t a lot of sympathy for traditional marriage in general in newsrooms across the country, and you might occasionally wonder if my comments are being treated fairly. That’s the nature of politics, that’s the nature of news. I just keep moving.
This past week we sat down with the Los Angeles Daily NewsEditorial Board. ProtectMarriage made its case, and tried to answer the questions of the Board. Generally, big city newspapers are opposing Proposition 8, but we don’t mind. We have the people behind us. The community papers in your area, which you probably do read, seem a bit more in touch with their readers and do support traditional marriage. As a media representative for the campaign I meet reporters, government and interfaith leaders, supporters, opponents and the studying public almost every day. Our message is getting through. The campaign’s first commercial “Whether You Like It Or Not” is on the tips of tongues. We will continue to build on that, and inform the public about the serious consequences that await if the personal agenda of San Francisco Mayor Newsome succeeds.
You can really help. I keep telling the media that you’re out there. SHOW THEM. Plant your values on your front lawns. As a supporter of Prop. 8 you are about to be part of the largest grassroots campaign ever assembled in the U.S.
This is your opportunity to remind the California Supreme Court that the constitution still begins with “We The People…..”
