NO on Cali's Prop 8


For better or for worse (most times better), Cali is the tail that wags the rest of the US dog, from environmental standards to progressive social legislation. CA became a lightning-rod for bigots following its support of same-sex marriage rights. Now the bigots are seeking to amend CA's constitution to eliminate same-sex marriage rights. The implications extend far beyond CA, which is why the bigots are receiving national and international financial support. Particular shame to the Mormons, who are responsible for 40-70% of the financial backing of the measure. You would think that a group with a history of repression and discrimination like LDS would have a bit more empathy, but victims of past injustice seem to have a tendency to dish it out as good as they got when they get the reins of power. Make a contribution if you can, and get the word out to help defeat the bigots.
