Robin McGehee's heartfelt and transcendent speech at the Meet in the Middle 4 Equality rally held in Fresno, CA on Saturday, May 30, 2009 - the first Saturday after the CA Supreme Court ruled on the court case to invalidate Prop 8 that passed in November 2008, eliminating the right of same-sex couples to legally marry. At 4:30 into the video, Robin McGehee gives a message to President Obama, asking him to "show me you have the courage, show me you have the courage to produce change that I've believed in, that I've lobbied for. I've believed in you, and I'm asking you to prove it." Robin McGehee was forced to resign from her position as President of a P.T.A. board after she attended a "No on 8" rally. She was instrumental in organizing the Meet In The Middle 4 Equality rally. Video: Sean Chapin
