Prop 8 - Protecting Marriage

Yes on Prop 8

For those of you who don't know, in California on the November ballot there will be a proposition for protecting marriage. In 2000 there was Prop 22 that stated that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." It passed by 61%. Prop 8 is the same 14 words as before, but this time it's put into our constitution.

Proposition 8 is PRO-MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN
Proposition 8 doesn't take away the rights or benefits from gay or lesbian domestic partners. Under California law, they "shall have the same rights, protections, and benefits" as married spouses(Family Code 297.5). Proposition 8 will not change this. It just wouldn't be called marriage, and public school teachers wouldn't have to tell children it is the same as marriage.

The Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Laterday Saints has asked all of us (not just Californians) to help in the cause. For more information please visit protectmarriage.com. This is the website that the church has decided to support for this cause and any and all donations and volunteers should be directed to this site. There is plenty that you can do from out of state and California, and the future generations needs you help. Please find a way to help, even if it just to spread the word to all that you can, so that the message will be heard and the sacred union of marriage can go forth as one man and one woman.
