Dear Friends,
Carl Sciortino defeated anti-gay incumbent Vinny Ciampa fair and square in the September primary to represent Somerville and Medford in the State Legislature. But Ciampa and anti-gay extremist groups will stop at nothing to prevent Sciortino, an openly-gay man, from taking office. They are mounting a bigoted “write-in” campaign to reelect Ciampa, the likes of which we have never seen before.
The main opposition group – Article 8 Alliance – just mailed a document to thousands of voters in the district called "A Special Report on the Homosexual Lobby's Secret Campaign to Install a Homosexual, Anti-Catholic Extremist in the State Legislature" [See http://www.article8.org/ and http://www.parentsrightscoalition.org/ to see more of what he (and we) are up against.]
Carl needs many volunteers to work the polls. (Campaign headquarters are a short walk from the Davis Square T). Please call the Sciortino campaign headquarters – (617) 625-2831 – and offer to volunteer on Election Day. They will work with you to find a location and time slot that works for you. It is critically important that we help Carl stave off these terrible homophobic attacks.
Tuesday, November 2: Election Day
Work the Polls for Carl Sciortino
All day, or any three hours
