here you can read about the petition and print out forms. get everyone you know to sign and if you know unregistered voters get them registered.

from the site:

Thank you for your interest in assisting us with the signature process. The following is a list of ideas on how to gather signatures. If you require assistance or support for an idea, please contact us directly at 800.778.2998

1. **An easy place to start is asking people who you see on a regular basis.** This includes friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, dorm mates, colleagues, fellow church members and other organizations that you may interact with.

2. **Host a signature gathering party.** Invite friends and neighbors over to discuss equality and ways of getting involved. Perhaps highlight the party with a viewing of Milk or you could just serve drinks.

3. Contact local groups and organizations and ask for their support. This is also a good opportunity to start dialog with and get involved with organizations you may not have previously thought about. Ask if the organization can contact their members for support.

4. Gather a few friends and go to a safe, but high traffic location and collect signatures. Examples of friendly locations include farmer’s markets, universities, local cafes, and LGBT events.

5. Call up friends in other California locations and share the Yes! on Equality web link with downloadable signature pages (http://www.yesonequality.com/initiative)

spread the word to everyone you know, even if you don't live in california.

    • Yes, it is important to become active and to get involved in the fight for full marriage equality. It's crucial not just in California, but in all the other states where this battle is being fought, too.

    • At first, I thought those were hot dogs or something in the picture. I was like...what?

      Anywho, I love that it has parts B and C. This will take some of the rocket fuel from the conservative engines.

    • Initiative Text:
      An act to repeal Section 7.5 of Article I of the California Constitution; therefore provisions to be repealed are printed in strike-through text.

      Section 1. Title
      This measure shall be known, and may be cited, as the "California Marriage Equality Act."

      Section 2.
      (a) Section 7.5 of Article I of the California Constitution shall be repealed, stricken, and removed as such:
      Sec. 7.5 Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California
      (b) This section is not intended to, and shall not be interpreted to, modify or change the curriculum in any school.
      (c) This section is not intended to, and shall not be interpreted to, mandate or require clergy of any church to perform a
      service or duty incongruent with their faith.

      -seems simple enough
