If only these same people would keep this in mind in November when they go to the polls.
It is like we the tax payers, have absolutely no say in these matters.
I still cannot understand why half this country, want more of this BS.
Her husband, believe it or not, has been the head of the national Mortgage Bankers Assoc., since 2002 - or right around when the housing market started getting wacky. That is a lobbying organization which sought to influence deregulation.
Prior to that, he worked for a Republican Congressman.
I feel like I'm watching a bunch of thieves who were caught red-handed trying to sell themselves as the best choice to protect us against theft.
No, like the Mafia, selling protection in exchange for pay-offs,

If these folk really wanted to take a stand, they should do so openly, declare their priinciples and take the consequences. But, they are damn Cowards, the whole bunch. I am willing to wager that G.D. when confronted, will deny having anything to do with this, or will try to palm the blame on someone else. That is after trying to delete the Emails and covering his or her tracks.
Just when you thought it could not get any more bizarrre......

If you could post the email including the meta information from the heading, it would help ID the person involved.
Married Gay Days at Disney: bad.
I don't think Disney would be stupid enough to be officially behind this. There are a lot of gay folks who visit Disneyland (including the day when they flood the park on Gay Day) and I just think it would be bad for business if they chose a side. Someone like Disney can't just sneakily organize a campaign to support this hateful measure and think it's not going to get out.
Personally, I believe that this employee was just stupid enough to use her work email instead of a personal email in this case. If that is so and this isn't something Disney officially supports, you would like to believe that such a thing could possibly lead to her termination if folks made a big fuss about this, no?
Thanks to the CA courts, my partner and I were able to get married this summer. This kind of hate done on company time is offensive.
Please get in touch and I will help direct a complaint to the proper department.
I DETESTED working there, especially in Orange County that is MEGA CONSERVATIVE.
I would not be surprised if Disney in Burbank is coordinating a YES to discrimination. AMAZING considering all the gays and lesbian working for that company.
Isn't there an official gay employee organization? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DisneyLEAGUE/
Anyone know if Disney League still going on?
A. So he doesn't leave finger prints.
On a related note to the Equality California no on Prop. 8 campaign: PLEASE stop wasting your resources in the Castro neighborhood. I yet again had another color flyer stuck in my door yesterday. Please use your resources wisely and don't lead people to think you don't have the slightest clue. Thanks.
Dear Disney Friends,
The e-mail copy below is making the rounds in the blogs on the internet. It has the appearance of a hate message coming from someone inside the Disney Corporation. You should be aware of the existence of that e-mail and of the possible damage being done to the culture of diversity that exists in the Disney Family.
Very truly yours,
"Mormon Prop 8 Plan: 1,000,000 yard signs " [on Sept 22]

I sent the guy an email asking if he knew about the email, I figured anything as ugly and obviously fake as the email was, was probably just using a name that sounded respectable.
Boy was I surprised when I got an email back from a different bank employee, telling me that the bank did not allow partisan political messages, etc., on any official coorespondence - and that the employee who had sent it to me had been "takken care of"!
I don't know if they fired the guy or gave him a medal, but the whole thing seemed pretty damn wierd to me.
I suppose I'm not a big fan of floating up an idea that an entire company may be gay-hating when, in fact, it might just be one employee not representing the company. I wouldn't put it past Disney, but it doesn't make any sense to me. I hope we get more info and/or a follow-up on this one soon.
There are louts in every corporation. Hopefully this is somebody who is using their Disney leverage to have a favor of a couple million yard signs printed for a contract for a couple hundred million inflatable plush Poombas with lead eyes that fall out and choke people, and that they are found out and sent to clean the toilets at Universal Studios for the rest of their career. Just using your email for doing some limited personal stuff isn't all that awful - and it works on both sides of the fence.
In answer to your question, isn't everything made in China? Well, the No on 8 yard signs are made here in California by union employees. They cost $8 each to make, and No on 8 asks for a $20 donation to get one. Opponents of Equality just go through the Church roster and put them on everybody's stoop.
Just 40 days left. No on 8 is in urgent need of phone bankers and donations in the $2000-$5000 range. If you do nothing, you can't complain about the outcome.
