Internet useful in fighting anti-gay laws

Julian Bond, the chairman of the NAACP, urges viewers to "vote no" on a proposed amendment to Florida's Constitution that would prohibit legal recognition of any coupled relationship other than heterosexual marriage.

You won't find Bond's political ad airing in the high-priced Florida TV market.

Instead, you can catch it in VoteNoOn2.com's video section -- visited nearly 60,0000 times since February -- as well as on YouTube and in postings on blogs and at online social networking sites, such Facebook and MySpace.

The Internet -- especially its online social networks -- is being relied on as never before to reach voters in this year's battles against anti-gay proposals.
