Come on folks! Let's get a grip on ourselves. Those that would destroy us
will succeed if we continue to go off in 100 different directions fighting
ghosts. For one thing, Levi Strauss pulled their support a couple of years
ago when the issue started in the San Francisco Bay area, not lately in
response to the Supreme Court decision. And for another thing, just as you
and I have our opinions on the subject, our sponsors and benefactors all
have their opinions and also have the right to funnel their support to
causes they choose to support. We have the best program in town and will
prevail if we do not lose our heads. This issue is far from over and
neither you nor I can accurately predict the final outcome.
