New Poll Shows Prop. 8 Winning



People that want to take rights away from Californian's have spent over 20 million dollars on T.V. and Radio ads. Proposition 8 will ammend the California constitution to remove rights granted to Californians. A new poll shows that the campaign is winning the hearts of homophobes all over California. KPIX, San Francisco's CBS television affiliate says their new poll shows prop. 8 winning by 47% to 43%.

KGOE is even running "Yes on Prop. 8" ads. We run all political ads weather we agree with the position or not.

In opposition to the proposition is a U-Tube video called Gender Auditors is available at:http://www.couragecampaign.org/NoOnProp8

If the No on Prop.8 people want to make a buy on KGOE, we will gladly take their money.

I am against this proposition on the grounds that the constitution is designed to spell out what powers are granted to the state, leaving all other rights and powers to the people. Amending the constitution to take away rights from people is the wrong thing to do.

The big lie is that churches are at risk of loosing their tax exempt status. They violate their tax exempt status if they fund political campaigns or tell people how to vote from the pulpit.

Do we want the Muslims, Catholics, Mormons, Baptists, Satanists or Jews funding political campaigns and telling their followers how to vote? I pray not!

Gay marriage in California

So a bunch of Conservative California Supreme Court judges decided that people had to be treated equal under the law. What's wrong with our elected officials doing their jobs? These judges were all elected with more than 70 percent of the vote with the exception of 1, that only got a paltry 68 percent of the vote. In the year 2000 Californians polled, were against gay marriage by a margin of 55 to 38 percent. Last year that gap closed to 48 percent against to 46 percent for gay marriage. http://origin.mercurynews.com/ethicspolicy/ci_9279652
It is my belief that if people don't want to marry someone of the same sex, they shouldn't have to. It's always the same argument, "what will I tell my children?" How about the truth! I think Roy Zimmerman said it best in one of his songs called Defenders of Marriage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bja2ttzGOFM It's about people defending marriage from people who want to get married. It is my belief that the biggest problems with marriage these days are divorce and the economy. All you right to life-er, Conservative, anti gay, pro war thinking people should consider this, seldom do gay couples have abortions. They do adopt though. I know I'm going to get some reaction from this post, especially from certain religious persons. I just ask, what did Jesus say about gays or gay marriage? I'm not looking for some quote in the old testament or something Paul said, I want red letter Jesus quotes from you people that, based on your religion, don't want gays to have this right.
