The campaign to repeal Oregon’s new domestic partnership and anti-discrimination laws is in bigger trouble than I thought. For starters, though the groups involved only have until early July to gather up tens of thousands of signatures on each of the two initiatives, they haven’t been cleared to start collecting signatures yet. Clock’s ticking, as they say.

Then today, I get this email from Restore America/Concerned Oregonians. I’d cut and paste, but then we’d lose all of the beautifully colored text and bolding, so here’s an image instead:

Yep, the sky is falling in Concerned Oregon. It takes a lot of cash to fund a statewide signature gathering campaign, and they’ve only collected $4,385.00. The Concerned Oregonians PAC—which, according to their filing, exists to oppose the land use Measure 49—has $517.06 in the bank as of this writing, but enough outstanding accounts payable to put them in the hole by $6,191.70.

Do people not hate the gays as much as they used to? Or have folks realized that domestic partnerships for same sex couples—which have been legal since February 4—hasn’t caused the downfall of civilization?
