Yesterday "TheCall," a 12-hour rally to boost support for Yes on 8, was held in San Diego's Qualcomm stadium. The festival of fundies believe they will save marriage, the homosexuals and the state of California by communing during the movement's 40 days of prayer and fasting.
James Dobson and Tony Perkins were there to stir up the crowd. As usual, those running the event tried to inflate the numbers attending the gathering. A spokesman declared 30,000 were there, but journalist Rex Wockner said that it appeared to be around 15,000. TheCall elicited this reaction from him (the photos in this post are his).
