Yes on Prop 8

I had a dream four years ago as I contemplated entering the political arena. I was driving down a one-way highway in the middle of the desert headed toward a mountain range somewhere in America, and in front of me was a jubilant crowd of people keeping all other traffic behind them from passing. As I got closer, I noticed that they were wearing hats — the hats people wear at political conventions, decorated with red, white and blue stripes and stars — and they were celebrating excitedly. It struck me as odd, and I was curious. Then I realized somehow that everyone in the group was gay. There was much more to the dream, but I’ll spare you…

As we in California face the real possibility that marriage will be redefined, I have to take a stand for what I believe. As much as I respect those I work with and know in the homosexual lifestyle, I have to vote Yes on Prop 8. I’m doing it for two very special young boys…

You see, it’s not really about marriage. All of the rights and benefits of traditional marriage have already been granted to homosexual couples in this state via civil unions. It goes much deeper than that, and drives at the heart of religious freedom and freedom of speech. For more information about it, visit ProtectMarriage.com, ProtectMarriageCA.com or iProtectMarriage.com. You can also watch this video called Prop 8 in Plain English.

In the end, if Prop 8 fails, it appears we’ll have quite a time fighting for our kids in the future, and may even find it difficult to speak freely (read the article in the Gay People’s Chronicle). It’s real, everyone.

Vote Yes on Prop 8.
