Manchester's PR guy on Prop. 8 boycotts

Howard Bragman claims Manchester is the victim—but here’s what he had to say about Prop 8 donors last year:

‘Am I really under some obligation to give El Coyote [Mexican restaurant whose owner gave $100 to Yes on 8] money that may eventually be given to groups that oppose my civil rights? I think not… Peaceful protests, boycotts and community organizing are the tools of our trade and ultimately the things that will win this struggle… I will not fund my own demise and I won’t go where I’m not wanted.” —Huffington Post

CBS 8: Protestors plan new year of Manchester boycott

A boycott of the Manchester Grand Hyatt downtown by gay rights advocates is now one year old.

It all began last year when hotel owner Doug Manchester donated money to the Yes on Prop 8 campaign. Even though he’s tried to reach out to the gay community since then, this boycott is showing no signs of slowing down.

If you're in a not good position and have no cash to go out from that, you would need to receive the loans. Just because that will aid you definitely. I get credit loan every year and feel myself good because of that.
