Default Donation to Prop. 8 cause

I'm surprised this didn't generate much discussion yesterday outside of creekster's comment.

http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_10842051

I know it's not much money, but I see it as a Rubicon of sorts.

Is that not the case?

I think it is not the case. Using the Rubicon model, the Church isn't crossing, but one or two fo its soldiers fell in and so there you are. (I have no more insight than you, this is just my guess.)

Someone smarter than me tell me what "in-kind" donation means please. I think I might be assuming right but need more clarification and examples.

It's when you donate donuts for the volunteers and paper for the copiers.

OKay that is the part I assumed correctly. Examples please . . . .

I'm a 25 year old, non-degree holding, stay-at-home mom. My talents exclude business and finance - throw me a fricken bone here all you CG geniuses.

Please don't feed the egos. That's rule number one here at CG. (Mike did give you the rules, right?)
