Gay Marriage Phone Poll

I just got this email from a friend about a phone poll that Gov. Schwarzenegger is conducting :

The current governator is conducting a telephone poll that includes same sex marriage. Predictably, right-wingers are flooding the office with calls. Since California will likely soon be considering a variety of marriage and domestic partner bills, it’s a good time to show support on the issue. This takes less than a minute. Call (916) 445-2841 On the phone tree, press in order: Press #5 for “Hot Issues.” Press #1 for Same Sex Marriage. Press #1 to support gay marriage in California.

If you’ve got a minute and you don’t have to worry about long distance charges, it couldn’t hurt to call and let the Terminator know that not everyone in California is a bigot.

  2. Vera actually turned me onto this little poll–but thanks to Tom for pointing out that there is no limit on how many times you can call.

  3. Um, how is this sort of poll any better than an internet poll? Why would anyone want to base a decision on results from a poll that’s so clearly manipulable?

  4. It’s a sucky poll, to be sure. But can we really take the chance that the Governator isn’t going to use these numbers publicly? We can’t let the right wingers be the only ones calling in, and make it seem to the rest of the nation that the majority of Californians are against gay marriage.
