****ACTION ALERT – AUGUST 10 11am to 2pm The antigay and religious National Organization For Marriage is stopping in Raleigh during their Summer For Marriage Tour. NOM is headed by the hateful Christian, and divorced and remarried hypocrite, Maggie Gallagher and once counted Mrs USA runner-up and sex tape star Carrie "Opposite Sex Marriage" Prejean as a spokesperson. We will greet them peacefully with a strong show of solidarity in support of marriage equality. This sort of religious intolerance cannot go unchallenged. According to their website, "The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) is a nonprofit organization with a mission to protect marriage and the faith communities that sustain it." This event is sponsored by the local Triangle Atheist, Agnostic, Freethinker, and Humanist Meetup group as well as The Triangle Freethought Society. I am contacting the local news media about this event. We will meet at 11AM - NC State Capitol, 1 East Edenton Street, Raleigh. The bus is scheduled to stop from 12N-1PM. Here is the Facebook page where guests can RSVP. Even if you cant make it please invite all of your friends. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/event.php?eid=132425433461728
