Marriage

This post I got from my sister Bethany. Thanks Sis!!

Come November I am going to wish I was still registered to vote in California because if I were I would be one more voice in support of Proposition 8. Have you heard about this?

The information below can also be found here

• The Issue
  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 Consequences
  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.
• The Solution
  Vote YES on Proposition 8 to overturn the outrageous Supreme Court decision and restore the definition of marriage that was approved by over 61% of voters. Proposition 8 is NOT an attack on gay couples and does not take away the rights that same-sex couples already have under California’s domestic partner law. California law already grants domestic partners all the rights that a state can grant to a married couple. Gays have a right to their private lives, but not to change the definition of marriage for everyone else.
  
  Passing Proposition 8 protects our children and places into the Constitution the simple definition that a marriage is between a man and a woman.

Go here to voice your support of Proposition 8, whether you live in California or not!

This is a very serious battle of good vs. evil. The outcome will affect the nation, not just California. Please pray for the success of Prop 8...in a very real sense, "as California goes, so goes the nation..." Pray also for the success of the Arizona and Florida ballot initiatives to preserve traditional marriage. I can assure you that I will be.
