Now Dale Kelly Bankhead, campaign manager of "No On 8," urges supporters to donate $200,000 in the next 48 hours. "We must match what is raised dollar for dollar with the right wing; if we do not, we are at serious risk of losing this November," Bankhead writes in an email sent out Tuesday.

"You've probably heard that the polls show our side ahead. Some are saying that victory for our side is a sure thing. Don't be fooled! This race is too close to call. The ugly truth we have learned from defeat after defeat in states across the country is that people lie on polls, especially about how they feel about LGBT people. In contest after contest, from Wisconsin to Colorado, we have gone into election day with polls showing our side with 7 to 10 points more support than we actually received at the ballot box.

"And, these polls do not factor in the media battle that is about to unfold here in California. We know that between 15% – 20% of California voters remain undecided on Prop 8. We can persuade them to vote no, but only if we reach them first and often with our message. Reaching them via TV will be vital to winning. Right now the opposition may out-campaign us over the airwaves. We must be competitive on TV or we risk losing undecided voters to the other side."

Very conservative but accurate scientists estimate that 60% of people 30 and older are against gay marriage but that only 10% of people 20 and younger are against it. It's going to be legalized.   » Report this comment to administrator
