The County Commi...AGAINST the Amendment Supporters:<br />The County Commissioners have chosed to remain silent on the biggest civil rights issue of our day, having caved to conservative pressure to remove from tonight's agenda any discussion of the constitutional amendment. Despite the fact that the amendment could have signficant implications for the county and some of its employees, the Durham's Commissioners are stepping to the sidelines. Despite the fact that numerous other counties in the state have taken positions in support of this heinous amendment, Durham's Commissioners have retreated from their duties to protect the county's interests. Despite the desire of many Durham's citizen's to speak out against the amendment, Durham's Commissioners have chosen to ignore their pleas - those opposed to the amendment will not be able to speak at tonight's meeting. <br /> <br />In protest, we are looking for 16 people willing to attend tonight's meeting and at a pre-arranged time, stand up and walk to the back of the room along the wall, each holding a single letter to spell out "STAND AGAINST HATE."<br />If you are willing and able, please meet at 6:40 on the first floor of the Durham County Courthouse (200 E Main St.) and look for Barry Ragin and Page McCullough who will be organizing.Page McCulloughnoreply@blogger.com
