I feel very strongly about this Proposition... so I thought I'd share it with you and encourage you to read about it if you haven't done so already!
California voters passed Proposition 22 in 2000 by more than 61%, saying that a marriage in California is between a man and a woman. Earlier this year, four activist judges based in San Francisco wrongly overturned the people's vote, legalizing same-sex marriage.
The Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage did not just overturn the will of California voters; it also redefined marriage for the rest of society, without ever asking the people themselves to accept this decision. This decision has far-reaching consequences. For example, because public schools are already required to teach the role of marriage in society as part of the curriculum, schools will now be required to teach students that gay marriage is the same as traditional marriage, starting with kindergarteners. By saying that a marriage is between “any two persons” rather than between a man and a woman, the Court decision has opened the door to any kind of “marriage.” This undermines the value of marriage altogether at a time when we should be restoring marriage, not undermining it. WE LOVE OUR CHILDREN!
The Solution - Restore and protect the cement that holds our families together
Vote YES on Proposition 8!
Passing Proposition 8 protects our children and places into the Constitution the simple definition that a marriage is between a man and a woman.
