Wednesday, June 3<br><br><br>Many thanks to everyone who came out to our victory party last week, despite competing with important widespread street protests against the disappointing Prop 8 ruling upholding discrimination, we had a good crowd and collected a number of signatures for the ballot measure aimed at overturning Prop 8 in 2010. We had a lot of fun and even raised enough money to hold on to the office for another month. Special thanks to everyone who gave what they could! We are still on the brink of having to let it go. If you would like to help us out of our dire financial situation, it's never too late to donate, and we especially need recurring monthly donations (sustainers) so that we can spend less time fundraising and more time organizing and focusing on things like collecting signatures to overturn Prop 8 and electing progressives to office:<br>

But when Christine suspects that the Walter who was returned to her isn't her actual child, the police captain (Jeffrey Donovan) has her committed to an asylum.
