Watch and forward FIDELITY
The Issue
"Fidelity" has struck a deep chord across the political spectrum. Andrew Sullivan, a leading conservative writer for the The Atlanticmagazine, wrote:
"In the end, the marriage debate is about whether it is in the interest of society as a whole to attack and demean couples who are constructing loving, committed strong relationships, with the help of their friends, families and government.
Whatever else it is, the attempt to break up these relationships, to deny and invalidate the hopes and dreams they aspire to, is both cruel and deeply hostile to any conservatism that seeks to bring people together around the shared values of family, fidelity and responsibility. Maybe this video will help bring that home."
Over 300,000 people have watched this video, finding out about it from a friend by email or on Facebook, Twitter and blogs. And over 100,000 people have signed our letter to the state Supreme Court, asking them to invalidate Prop 8, reject Ken Starr's attempt to nullify 18,000 same-sex marriages, and let all loving, committed couples marry in California.
Our friends at MoveOn are calling this video "one of the most incredible actions we've ever seen." Indeed, the love infused in the authentic images of "Fidelity," in concert with Regina Spektor's beautiful song, has provoked a strong response from people across the country, gay and straight alike. Many people have told us that it has helped them express the meaning of marriage equality to their friends and family -- and the pain caused by the passage of Prop 8 -- for the first time. Opportunities to change the hearts and minds of Americans on same-sex marriage don't come along very often. Based on this unprecedented reaction, we think "Fidelity" is one of them. This is not our opportunity -- it is YOUR opportunity. If you know people who should see this video, whether they agree with you or not, please forward this email to them right now and ask them to watch "Fidelity" and sign our letter to the state Supreme Court.
