EQNM will be attempting to set the world's record for the largest engagement ring by circling the Roundhouse in support of gay marriage and creating the ring out of gold fabric.
The Legislature will be in special session on October 17th and it is the goal of EQNM to not only set the world's record for the largest engagement ring, but to also remind state law-makers that marriage equality is still a vital issue in our state.
Further details can be found on Facebook.
Supporting this event is an important step in showing our Party's support for marriage equality in our state.
This event is also important because the Santa Fe Tea Party has targeted October 17th as a day on which they will hold a rally at the Roundhouse.
Their stated purpose is to rally against fiscal issues, but if this rally is anything like the one which was held in Rio Rancho in September, there will be little control over what kind of people will show up, especially since the e-mail we received about the event compares (again) President Obama to 1930s Nazi Germany.
In case you forgot what that rally was like, see our photos.
It is important to keep issues like this on the forefront of politics in New Mexico -- all too often, the issue of same-sex marriage is ignored in the media, as Jon Stewart aptly points out:

Don't let hate-filled protests stall the movement towards marriage equality -- if you can, make it to the rally and show your support for equal rights in New Mexico!
