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
between 6:30 AM and 8:00 PM
Call 617.625.2831 to volunteer

i received that mailing
Date: 2004-10-31 06:03 pm (UTC)Vincent Ciampa is a hate monger who seems terrified he took his district for granted and now he may have to leave his cronies and get a job.
Ignorant. Hateful. Divider.
That's how it looks from my view.
Vote Carl. Say no to homophobia, say no to hate say yes to a better future in this district and in America.
We need to stop jerks like ciampa and anyone who would participate in this sort of disgusting drivel. People, help Carl on Tuesday. And remind anyone who will listen that anyone who says there is a "homosexual lobby" is filled with ignorance and hate and is not someone who should lead this district. Say it loud, say it politley, but say it with CONVICTION, do NOT let anyone tell you different.
anyone who disagrees with me, you're entitled to your opinion. But i say you're wrong.
Vote Carl.
