Coming Close?
California’s “traditional” marriage advocates claim they’re getting close to quota. The group, Protect Marriage, says they’ve secured 881,000 supporters, bringing them dangerously near the required 1.1 million signatures, which have to be turned in on April 21. [365 Gay]

I was at the big Democratic rally outside the Kodak Theater in LA, and a woman came up to me and asked me to sign a petition for more money for schools. Can’t argue with that, I thought. Signed it. She then turned the page, and said, “now, here’s one to keep marriage between a man and a woman.” I said, “No, sorry.” She went off on her way.
Later, I saw her from a distance, flipping through her clipboard and writing something down on the other petition. Hold on, I thought- IS SHE TAKING INFORMATION FROM THE ONE PETITION AND PUTTING IT ON THE OTHER? DID I JUST SIGN A PETITION TO DENY MYSELF THE RIGHT TO MARRY? I went after her, but she disappeared into the crowd. Did a little research afterwards, and it turns out these people get paid PER SIGNATURE. So I might have, and probably a few others too. Is there any way to find out who has signed these things, the way you can in Massachusetts?
