Want to play with a new Google tool... AND help choose what happens with Ameriqueer?

Google Moderator is a web-based ap that helps groups, organizations or institutions--as well as individuals--facilitate brainstorming and conversation, and waste less time in a meeting. It also gives more people a voice in an organization's decisions. I've started to play with Google Moderator a little, and I've created a Series that I'd like you to contribute to. Click here, and do two things: Submit suggestions on what YOU think Ameriqueer needs, and where it can go, and then VOTE on other folks' suggestions. I believe there may be a way to comment on suggestions as well? So if someone suggests something that you'd like to add your two-cents on, you can.

No need for a google account, as far as I can tell. Just jump in and give your feedback.

So go to http://moderator.appspot.com/#16/e=d23df and start playing with this new Google tool.

Chris Geidner: In Iowa, judges are ousted.

Via Chris Geidner's Poliglot blog at Metro Weekly:

"

In Iowa, which declared Iowa's marriage ban unconstitutional under the state's constitution in 2009, the National Organization for Marriage got one of its first electoral victories this year. The judicial retention elections appear to have resulted in the replacement of all three justices up for a vote this year.

Here, as of 3:35 a.m. and with 1767 out of 1774 precincts reporting, are the Iowa Secretary of State's election results:

Supreme Court Justice David L. Baker
Yes 443437 45.75%
No 525865 54.25%

Supreme Court Justice Michael J. Streit
Yes 442459 45.6%
No 527921 54.4%

Supreme Court Chief Justice Marsha Ternus
Yes 437118 44.99%
No 534486 55.01%

The court was unanimous in its 2009 ruling that Iowa's constitution required marriage equality."

Can we trust Rasmussen anymore?

WHAT. THE. HELL? NEW HAMPSHIRE??? (and a prop 8 update)

Okay, first let me just say CALIFORNIA can breathe easy for a few more days as San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsome convinced the Supreme Court to hold of on releasing their decision on Prop 8 a few more days until the 30th anniversary of the White Night Riots is passed. We're probably going to see it Tuesday, the following Thursday or THAT following Monday.
NOW: WHAT THE HELL, NEW HAMPSHIRE HOUSE?!?!?!?!???!?!?!?!????!
The NEW HAMPSHIRE House, which on May 6 APPROVED Marriage Equality by a vote of 178-167, has now stalled the REWRITTEN BY GOVERNOR JOHN LYNCH bill 188-186--That's right, folks, two votes. 25 members did not vote at all, and opponents of the bill failed to kill it in a 173-202 vote, but this STILL means we're waiting on NEW HAMPSHIRE to GET ITS SHIT TOGETHER! The House passed a resolution to continue negotiating with the Senate by a vote of 207-168. If that same number votes for the 're-re-renegotiated' bill in the next two weeks it will pass, but …
