DONATIONS AGAINST PROP 8 NEED YOUR HELP

The warriors against Proposition 8, the measure banning same-sex marriage in California, are being outfunded and will lose come November unless they begin matching the funds that the measure's pro supporters are receiving.

The Los Angeles Times reveals:   "Although the Yes on 8 campaign has not yet posted its latest fund-raising report, supporters said Tuesday that they have raised at least $25 million, compared with $15.75 million raised by the other side. 'As a result of not being able to match dollar for dollar, we have seen a change," said Geoff Kors, the executive director of Equality California, which is fighting Proposition 8, the proposed amendment to the state Constitution that would define marriage as only between a man and a woman. The announcement pleased supporters of Proposition 8. 'I can understand their concern,' said Sonja Eddings Brown, spokeswoman for the Protect Marriage Coalition. Although other polls throughout the summer have consistently shown Proposition 8 failing, she pointed to another recent poll, from CBS and SurveyUSA, which showed the measure leading slightly. Typically, campaigns do not release their internal polling information. But opponents of Proposition 8 are clearly hoping to spur donations by dramatizing the threat to same-sex marriage."

One of Prop 8's biggest supporter, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

In November, a loss of this magnitude will set the same-sex marriage quest back by years.  A defeat of Prop 8 will result in dramatic changes across the country.

People that have put their money where their mouths are:  Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen ($50,000+), and Pete Wentz.

Big money earners that need to come up to bat:  Ellen DeGenerous, Rosie O'Donnell, Brian Singer, Sandy Gallin, Barry Diller, Tom Ford, Jonathan Adler, Simon Doonan, Marc Jacobs,
