THIS IS WHAT FULL MARRIAGE EQUALITY LOOKS LIKE AND WHY GOOD PEOPLE EVERYWHERE ARE FIGHTING FOR IT!

At the Courage Campaign Site you will see the following:
Tell the Supreme Court to invalidate Prop 8, reject Ken Starr's case, and let loving, committed couples marry. DEADLINE: Valentine's Day
We, the undersigned, share President Barack Obama's view that "for too long, issues of LGBT rights have been exploited by those seeking to divide us. It's time to move beyond polarization and live up to our founding promise of equality by treating all our citizens with dignity and respect."
Yet, on December 19, 2008, Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund filed legal briefs defending the constitutionality of Prop 8 and seeking to nullify the 18,000 same-sex marriages conducted between May and November of 2008.
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in this case on March 5, 2009, with a decision expected within the next 90 days. We, the undersigned, ask that the Court invalidate Prop 8 and recognize the marriage rights of these 18,000 couples -- and all loving, committed couples in California -- under our state's constitution.
As Americans who believe in the rule of law and fundamental civil rights, we know that Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund's shameful attempt to nullify these unions will not be vindicated in the eyes of history. We know that, ultimately, love will prevail, no matter how hard they try to fight it.
Sincerely,
So please make a difference by going to the Courage Campaign Site and lending your support! SIGN HERE . I did and I hope you will join me! Thanks!

Adam, great video. I would be more than happy to join you and our friends by lending my support and signing this petition.
However, I did some reading and still don't understand how signing this petition is going to influence the Supreme Court's decision making process or somehow invalidate or weaken Ken Starr's legal brief to nullify same-sex marriages conducted between May and November 2008.
I understand that my signature will show my personal support in keeping these same-sex marriages in 2008 legal, but beyond that, I don't believe that there is a law that binds our signatures in opposition to this case.
And for this reason, I decided not to sign this petition because I do not see the legal ramifications of it influencing the case or Supreme Court decision either way.
Please remember, I commend and respect all the efforts that you have put forth in championing equal rights for our community.
