60.0. "Opportunities for Political Action" by COGITO::SULLIVAN (Singing for our lives) Wed May 01 1991 16:23

    This note is for posting information about requests for political action:
    writing letters, attending rallies, etc.

    Please remember that any phone calls should be charged to your own phone 
    and made on your own time.  Also, the comods will watch this string 
    carefully to be sure that it doesn't violate any other guidelines.
    
    Many of us are involved with issues that we care deeply about.  We feel
    that it is fine for us to share information with each other about those
    issues and to inform each other about upcoming political actions.  We will
    not make judgements about the content of the issues, but we will enforce
    all Digital and conference policies.

60.1same-sex couples not eligible for contestCOGITO::SULLIVANSinging for our livesWed May 01 1991 16:4248
    A member of this community sent this to me from the FEMAIL mailing list.
    
    Apparently, a local (Boston area) radio station is having a contest for
    a weekend get away, but no same-sex couples allowed.
    
    Remember: no calls charged to DEC/DEC time.

=====================================

The radio station WODS (103.3) is holding a contest whose prize is a visit
to the Jamaican resort Sandals.  The prize is to be awarded to a couple,
not necessarily married, but same-gender couples are excluded.

If you'd like to take a moment to call and protest this policy, the
station's number is (617) 426-2200.  Some of us who've called have spoken
to staff members who were unaware of the exclusion.  However, if you ask to
speak to Tommy Edward, their program manager, or Bennett Zeir, their
general manager, they'll confirm that the exclusion exists.  Their
explanation is that it's the resort's policy, not their own idea.

Thanks,
Gary Drescher

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The first Saturday of every month, the local right-to-life folks
  demonstrate at the monument at the top of Library Hill in Nashua.
  (These are the *exact* same folks who just protested the Nashua
  School Board's program of AIDS education for 7th graders.  I leave
  you to draw your own conclusions.)

  Saturday, June 2nd is the first Saturday, and I'd dearly love to
  drive by and see some sort of counter-demonstration, or to be
  invited to participate in a counter-demonstration.  (I don't
  believe I'm well-enough connected to set anything up by myself.)

Re: 60.1

I don't know if this is the right place to post this or not, but I maintain
the DEC redistribution of the Feminist mailing list. If you'd like to be added,
send me mail.
