I got a letter published in my (Raleigh) newspaper
http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/05/01/2034605/david-conroy-dont-choose-hate.html
Don’t choose hate
Amendment One isn’t about marriage. The fact is, as much as it pains me to say it, there will be tomatoes growing on Mars before we would see an elected judge or elected legislature in North Carolina changing the state law which bans marriage equality. And that is the only protection to marriage that Amendment One offers. If a federal judge or the Congress were to overturn the federal Defense of Marriage Act this amendment would offer no protection at all.
This amendment will, with 100 percent certainty, eliminate health benefits for some number of people who are currently getting them. It will, at least for some amount of time, put in danger domestic violence laws protecting people who aren't married.

Well, let's see, Rev. Billy Graham has come out in favor of this amendment to the North Carolina constitution.
Some unknown unterprimitiven nut from a website that harbors mostly lunatics has come out against it.
The people of North Carolina have a tough decision, it seems.

Great letter.
No, it wasn't. Badly written, clear as mud, and completely non-compelling. Nobody will read past the first sentence.
BTW, judges don't really make laws, DUmbass.

5. 6 days away...
Hopefully your letter, and many of the sane ones in the N&O, will get through to enough voters.
Translation: Only ones that agree with us.
BTW, DUmbass, "hopefully" isn't a recognised word.

The letter is terribly confusing, and no one will understand his point unless they've already studied the amendment.
Someone like that isn't going to be swayed by a lunatic in the paper.
The DUmpmonkey had a fundamental problem, though.
If his position had been clear, i.e., support your local queers, normal people would laugh at him.

there will be tomatoes growing on Mars if we keep electing liberal presidents, pot will be the first crop grown on Mars.
