 <title>Volunteers for No Nonsense in November GOTV NEEDED!</title>

 &lt;p &gt;Most people never in their lives get the chance to participate in something that has the potential to change the world. But I believe that we will have that chance, that opportunity, this Saturday.&lt;br &gt;  &lt;br &gt; We all see how powerful, well-financed, and well-executed the radical right political machine is right now. We see it as an oppressive force here and around the world. It seems almost omnipotent. But what if they made a blunder?&lt;br &gt;  &lt;br &gt;  And what if that blunder provided us with an opportunity?&lt;br &gt;  &lt;br &gt;  And what if the opportunity was available only to us here in Houston, and only right now?&lt;br &gt; That is what I see happening with the November 8 Texas constitutional election. Proposition 2 would encode discrimination into the Texas Bill of Rights by changing the Texas Constitution to read that marriage in Texas shall consist only of a union between one man and one woman. For the radical right this is just another maneuver to augment their already oppressive power. Here is where they made the blunder. This is an off year election. Only 8-12% of the people, statewide, will vote. But one major city has city elections &amp;ndash; Houston! That is our opportunity!&lt;br &gt;  &lt;br &gt;  If we can &lt;strong &gt;get out the vote here &amp;ndash; in large numbers &amp;ndash; we can swing the state&lt;/strong&gt;. If Texas, one of the reddest of the red, defeats the proposition this year, that will throw confusion and fear into the forces of discrimination that have plans to change the constitutions of 11 other states next year.&lt;br &gt; If we can defeat them here, we will defeat them in other places. This can be the catalyst that starts the counter wave of progressive politics that this country and this world so desperately needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
