Vote Yes on Prop 8!

Our family has a deep desire to do what we can to protect the marriage between a man and a woman. Proposition 8 is not only about being pro marriage but it is about our rights as citizens. As parents we will not have a say in what they teach our children in school. Our children will be taught about gay marriage in schools without regards to their morals. Marriage is a sacred issue to us and we are the ones who should teach our children according to the beliefs in our home, not according to what the world has accepted as being "normal".

My Sister in law said it best when she listed the terrifying consequences if this law should pass:

“1) Legalizing same sex marriage may force some charities and adoption agencies to close their doors unless they openly supported same sex marriage
2) Many churches would have to change the way they operate and would lose their tax-exempt status unless they perform same sex marriages
3) Public schools would have to teach same sex marriage in the classroom and same sex issues in sex educationIn fact children are already being taught that same sex marriage is acceptable. No government or entity has the right to indoctrinate my children in moral aspects that I don't agree with.”

We believe that our Heavenly Father has an immense love for all of his children. We know that he lives and that he sent his son to die for us upon the cross. We love Jesus Christ and we try so hard to exemplify his example….we are not perfect. We are in debt to him and we want to stand in faith for what is right. Our message today is to help us Save Marriage and Save our rights as citizens’. This vote will affect our world more than we know. If it goes the wrong way there will be more rights taken away than given. If we vote yes, then no right will be taken away from anyone.
