Prop 8 news

We are going to start working together in our community to let those around know about proposition 8. Both Jim and I have signed up for both Saturdays as well as calling to let those around us know about why we want proposition 8 to pass. Again, it is not to take away the rights of those who refer to them as homosexuals who would want to be married. It is to protect the sanctity and the model of marriage, to fight back against the four judges who overturned a majority vote decision made just 8 years ago by the majority of California that we want marriage to continue to be between a man and a woman. There are rules already established between marriage now as far as who can marry who, so this is nothing new. The rules are set there to protect innocents, just as we are asking that we maintain marriage to be. We are also reacting to the fact that 4 out of 7 judges felt it necessary to overturn what the voters of California wanted. If we let them not listen to what we want now, what's to stop them from doing it again and again?

I could continue, but I think it is worded nicer in a few other articles I have found. Please check them out, especially for those of you out there who are wondering why we feel so strongly about keeping marriage between a man and a woman.

Here are the articles here and here.
