The Miami Herald reported yesterday that “Florida voters look close to passing a gay-marriage ban…” 

This is no joke.  

Despite more than a year organizing, raising money and spreading the word about Amendment 2, the latest poll shows the race will be close and voters could approve it. 

The latest poll – by Mason-Dixon – shows the race is still close and anyone’s to win. But the “undecided” vote will make the difference. In the absence of strong media presence to tell the truth about these amendments, undecided voters in other states often vote to ban what the media refer to as "gay marriage.”  

It’s reason to worry. But not panic.  

We know that when exposed to our ads, those “undecided” voters will break strongly in our favor. Our challenge is to make sure that they see our ads and see them often.  

Yesterday in Tallahassee, our campaign held a press conference with leaders from the League of Women voters, the Florida AFL/CIO, teachers, seniors and religious leaders where we announced an aggressive state-wide media tour and unveiled a brand new TV ad!  

Even as editorials across Florida continue to rail against Amendment 2, endorsements and press conferences won’t be enough. Winning will take relentless TV and radio advertising.  

And even though we’ve already invested historic funding in this fight, we need more. If the polls are right, we’ll lose without it.  

Here’s one thing you can do right now to help: send our ad to your friends and ask them to help you win this historic campaign by matching your donation.   

Challenging your friends to match your commitment can turn your $50 into hundreds of dollars. Or your $250 into thousands!  

Remember every dollar we raise will be spent to put our ads on TV and keep them there. Literally every contribution – no matter how big or small – will be spent telling Floridians the truth about Amendment 2. 

There are only a few days left to even buy TV time in Florida which is why we need your help today.
