Finally a terrific use of twitter. I just wonder what lead to the "misdemeanor assult charges" when the pics I see he’s just sitting down.

Matt, I thought we were a democratic republic. Our right to initiate change through the proposition process is well established and protected. I would not have it any other way. Leaving it to just the legislators is foolish. We have a right and duty to initiate change when politicians won’t do it or won’t listen to us.

All that said I read the buzznet. We are missing so much info as to what lead up to the arrest. I don’t think panasonicyouth woke up yesterday expecting to become a poster child for the Prop 8 protests but it happened and his life is now very public. I wish him well and the strength to carry on in the coming days. Its going to be trying but am glad to have seen him stand up for what he believes.

I’m not much of a fan of protest marches as they tend to be random locations, this one is totally appropriate as the Morman church funneled much money into Prop 8 and its ultimate win in the polls.

My thoughts go out to them and their commitment to the cause. I hope it is an isolated incident and not a precursor to future events.

Let’s all try to keep it classy. Protesters, cops and observers.
