I got this missive from the unfortunately named house member Tina Kotek
What am I willing to do for marriage equality?
Dear Victoria,
I’m sure you’ve seen the emails – Basic Rights Oregon is raising money to send organizers around the state this summer. I know that summer gets busy, and it can be hard to make time to support good causes when all we want to do is enjoy the sunshine that finally came out today.
But this is a critical moment in time. We must take advantage of the time we have this summer – and the momentum from the New York vote – to build the support we need to move forward to the ballot.
So I’ve decided to up the ante. I’m laying down a challenge – if you help raise $7,500 by next week, I will challenge Mayor Sam Adams to a Karaoke contest at a Basic Rights Oregon summer garden party!
…
Sincerely,
State Rep. Tina Kotek
House District 44/NE Portland
