PROTECT MARRIAGE

I would like everyone who wishes to, to please send up prayers for the people at Protect Marriage and to the voters in
California as they try to get Proposition 8 passed. Below is a quick run-down of what Proposition 8 is all about.



About Proposition 8 Proposition 8: The California Marriage Protection Amendment

Proposition 8 is simple and straightforward. It contains the same 14 words that were previously approved in 2000 by
over 61% of California voters: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

Because four activist judges in San Francisco wrongly overturned the people’s vote, we need to pass this measure as a
constitutional amendment to restore the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.

Voting YES on Proposition 8 does 3 simple things:

It restores the definition of marriage to what the vast majority of California voters already approved and what Californians
agree should be supported, not undermined.

It overturns the outrageous decision of four activist Supreme Court judges who ignored the will of the people.

It protects our children from being taught in public schools that “same-sex marriage” is the same as traditional marriage,
and prevents other consequences to Californians who will be forced to not just be tolerant of gay lifestyles, but face mandatory
compliance regardless of their personal beliefs.

And if you'd like to know my own personal motivation for posting and praying, it's the story below:

Youngsters treated to lesbian 'wedding'
Pro-family groups in California are pointing to a recent first-grade field trip as an example of the importance of passing Proposition 8.

For the school-sponsored trip, 18 first-graders -- ages 5 and 6 -- were taken to San Francisco City Hall to witness the wedding of their
teacher and her lesbian partner. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the school's principal said the field trip was "a teachable
moment." (see related article with pictures in the Chronicle) In contrast, Frank Schubert, one of the managers for the ProtectMarriage.com
campaign in the Golden State, describes the school-sponsored trip as indoctrination of young children. "I doubt the school has ever
taken kids on a field trip to a traditional wedding," he quips.

Sonja Eddings Brown, a spokesperson with ProtectMarriage.com, says the field trip was inappropriate.

"I think it's an experience that those children will probably never forget. That's what is a concern, because children are in their most
trusting and developmental stages when they start kindergarten, first grade, and second grade," she explains. "All of us have had a
very influential teacher at one time or another, especially in grade school, who we just thought walked on water -- and what if that teacher
introduced us to the idea of gay marriage?"

Officiating at the lesbian couple's wedding was San Francisco's pro-homosexual mayor, Gavin Newsom. In addition, news reports indicate
some of the children who attended the wedding wore "No on 8" campaign buttons.

Proposition 8 would amend the California constitution to recognize marriage as only between a man and a woman. The ProtectMarriage.com
campaign says the school field trip demonstrates that the California Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex "marriage" has real
consequences.

That is all I can say....

UPDATE!!!!

CONGRATS TO THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA!!!!

They passed (for the second and hopefully LAST time) Proposition 8!!!

Marriage in CA is officially "THE UNION BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN"!!!!!
