Q: How were candidates and organizations selected?
Do they change?
A: For candidates,
we assembled some of the brightest political minds in the
state, asked them to identify key races in the November, 2006, election,
interviewed candidates to ensure their support, and then added
them to our site. For organizations, we have evaluated a variety
of national and statewide PACs and educational organizations,
considered their focus on equal marriage rights and their ability
to affect the outcome here, and selected those that we believe
will be most effective. Our political volunteers confer frequently
to update our recommendations.
Q: Who will
receive my contact information/credit card information?
A: SupportEquality.org will pass your contact/credit
card information only to those campaigns or organizations to
which you decide to donate.
Q: Does SupportEquality.org
receive some part of my contribution?
A:
No! SupportEquality was created by volunteers to help you give
to those candidates and organizations that need you most. We
do not accept donations. We do not take any part of the donations
made using the tools on our site.
Q: Why do
you ask for my contact and work information?
A:
The Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance requires
that each campaign and PAC record certain information about
donors, including name and address, and, when donations exceed $200 in
any calendar year, occupation and employer. We request this information
so that we can submit it electronically for you with your donations
to the campaigns or organizations that you choose to support.
Q: Who is behind SupportEquality.org
A: We are a handful of volunteers, all
living in Massachusetts. Some of us are political people, some
technologists, others are students. We are all united by our
desire to protect equal marriage rights here and extend them
across America.
Q: I am a candidate who will support you in the
fall. Whom do I contact to be listed on the site?
A: Please contact info@supportequality.org.
