The Radical Right is so organized, active and vocal, that it gives the impression of representing the majority of Americans. When in fact, it directly attacks and excludes our community. But now there's an easy way to make sure elected officials know we exist. And we vote. Contact the Stonewall Cleveland Advocacy Network (SCAN) at 216 741-9105 or e-mail StnwllCle@aol.com. Because we have to take control of our future. Or someone else will.
