This is addressed to all of those who live in California.
Proposition 8 is a piece of Discriminatory Garbage that should never have found its way onto a ballot. People deserve equal rights, they should be allowed to marry. It should not matter if the couple are hetero, bi-, gay or lesbian.
The ads on television stating that churches could lose their tax-exempt status are lies. Period. We all know that the Separation of Church and State, which the radical right so despises, protects them from such action and prevent governments from dictating to religious organizations.
The ads about the 'Educating Our Young To Embrace Gay Marriage' is based on laws in Massachusetts, not California, and are just plain insulting. These are not better than the ads and handouts that were circulated during the 50s, 60s and 70s opposing the Civil Rights Movement.
Don't be fooled. These are playing on fears, not facts. Stopping Proposition 8 is the most important thing you can do this election year, equal to electing Barack Obama as President.
Please help and spread the word.
