Please Vote for Propositon 8 & Our Future Generations

Vote YES on Proposition 8
Proposition 8 is about preserving marriage.
it’s not an attack on the gay lifestyle.

Proposition 8 doesn’t take away any rights or benefits from gay or lesbian domestic partners. Under California law, “domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections and benefits” as married spouses. (Family Code ¤297.5.) There are no exceptions to this. Proposition 8 will not change this.


Proposition 8 is simple and straightforward.

Proposition 8 contains the same 14 words that were previously approved in 2000 by over 61% of California voters: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” By putting these words directly into the state Constitution, activist judges cannot strike them down as unconstitutional.

Proposition 8 protects our children.
Proposition 8 protects our children from being taught in public schools that same-sex marriage is the same as traditional marriage. In health education classes, state law requires teachers to instruct children as young as kindergarteners about marriage. (Education Code ¤51890.) If the same-sex marriage ruling is not overturned, teachers will be required to teach young children that there is no difference between gay marriage and traditional marriage.

Proposition 8 protects marriage as an essential institution of society.

Proposition 8 protects marriage and the important role of a traditional family in maintaining a stable society. While death, divorce or other circumstances often prevent the ideal, the best situation for a child is to be raised by a married mother and father. The consequences of radically changing society's concepts about marriage cannot be fully predicted at this time.
