Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund is an attempt to forcibly divorce 18,000 same-sex couples that were married in California last year. The Supreme Court will be making their decision within 90 days.
The Courage Campaign has created a video called "Fidelity", with the permission of musician Regina Spektor, that puts a face to those 18,000 couples and all loving, committed couples seeking full equality under the law.
The more people who see this video, the more people will understand the pain caused by Prop 8.
After you watch the video, please join me and over 350,000 people who have signed a letter to the state Supreme Court, asking them to invalidate Prop 8 and reject Starr's case.

Puppy mill survivors free from cages
Thanks to the work of your Humane Society of the United States, nearly 300 puppy mill dogs have a fresh start and are free forever from the horrors of the mass breeding operation known as Thornton’s Kennels in Wayne County, N.C.
The animals were treated at an emergency shelter, where dedicated teams of local volunteers and veterinarians, along with partners from the animal welfare community, have been tending to the dogs' many critical needs. Finally, these dogs are at the beginning of their ultimate journey -- to a loving home of their own.
Watch this video that takes you inside the rescue of these innocent victims. You can also make an emergency contribution to support this rescue operation and others like it.
Tragically, hundreds of thousands of dogs still suffer at the hands of this industry. These are the animals that the HSUS rescue teams are trained to save. In fact, during the past year alone, they’ve rescued thousands of animals from puppy mills around the country.
Please help make these animal rescue operations possible.
Thank you for you love and support!

Help protect FL turtles
Florida’s freshwater turtles are facing a serious crisis: They are being ripped from the wild by hunters who sell them to feed the growing world market for turtle meat and products. The methods used to capture, handle, transport, and slaughter turtles are invariably cruel, and the number of turtles caught threaten the species’ very survival. Scientists have already sounded the alarm. The state isn’t doing enough to protect its wild turtles. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has set such ineffective limits on commercial turtle hunters that Governor Charlie Crist recently urged the FWC to move towards a complete ban. The FWC has agreed to consider a ban. You can help end the turtle hunt!
TAKE ACTION
CLICK HERE to send an email to the FWC asking them to ban the turtle hunt; be sure to copy Governor Crist to let him know you share his concern on this important issue. It only takes a minute. And don’t forget to tell your friends and family in Florida about how they can take action, too. Thank you for taking action on behalf of animals!
Thank you for all you do for animals!

Help neglected animals
Hi, all you animal lovers!
The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their web site daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (how about 20 seconds. CLICK HERE to go to their site and then click on the purple box that says "Click to give, it's free". That's it and it doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Pass this along to people you know, so they can help as well :)

Stop Canada's Cruel Seal Hunt
Dear Friend,
The 2008 Canadian seal hunt left more than two hundred thousand
seals dead -- almost all of them were babies as young as 12
days.
Stand with me today to stop the seal hunt forever by joining the
Canadian seafood boycott.
Seal hunting is an off-season activity for Canada's east coast
commercial fishermen. They earn a small fraction of their
incomes from selling seal skins to the fur industry: less than
$7 million (Canadian) in 2008, compared to the nearly $2.5
billion taken in by the Canadian fishing industry from seafood
exports to the United States.
The connection between the commercial fishing industry and the
seal hunt gives consumers all over the world the power to end
the cruel slaughter of seals.
The Canadian fishing industry has suffered a $750 million
(Canadian) decline in the value of snow crab exports to the
United States since the boycott began. That's more than $200
million a year.
Once you've signed the pledge, you'll be able to identify
Canadian seafood by using The HSUS's downloadable pocket guide.
You can also find out which restaurants and other businesses
have also signed the pledge -- and which ones to contact to ask
them to sign on.
Thanks for joining me in ending this cruel hunt. Here is the
link to sign the pledge:
