A legislative candidate source told me about this.

From: Jeff Davis To: Undisclosed-Recipient:; Sent: Saturday, October 02, 2004 5:28 AM Subject: URGENT: Defense of Marriage Pledge

I am contacting you to make a final request that you sign our Defense of Marriage Pledge. We are publishing our voter's guides in the next few days and our records show that we have not yet received a signed pledge form from you.

THIS CAN BE A KEY DIFFERENTIATOR BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR COMPETITOR(S) IN YOUR HOUSE RACE. Nearly all DFL and Green party candidates have refused to sign the pledge. If you would like to see a list of who has signed and not signed the pledge, click on this link http://www.mnmarriage.com/Elections.htm

All you need to do is print-out the attached form, sign it and fax it back to the number on the bottom of the form. Please call me if I can answer any questions. Thank you for your attention.

Regards,

Jeff Davis
President, Minnesota Citizens in Defense of Marriage

This candidate called the Jeffrey Davis character, and asked if he would support an amendment that would ban gay marriage but allow civil unions - kind of like the amendment in Massachusetts. Davis said no way, so this candidate told him to go Cheney himself.

When I talked to Jeffrey Davis during the truth truck heyday, he told me that the reason we needed this constitutional amendment is to prevent a bill like the Canadian "hate speech" bill to pass here. I've always thought these were two separate issues.

Davis's site makes a point of saying they aren't an "anti-homosexual hate group". At the same time, the site posts lots of bigoted drivel about gays. So yea, whatever Jeffrey.
