Six Consequences if Prop 8 Does Not Pass:
1. Children in public schools will be taught that both traditional marriage and same-sex marriage are okay.The California Education Code already requires that health education classes instruct children about marriage. (§51890)Therefore, if the definition of marriage is changed, children will be taught that marriage is a relation between any two adults. There will be serious clashes between the secular school system and the right of parents to teach their children their own values and beliefs.
2. Churches will be sued if they refuse to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies in their religious buildings that are open to the public. Ask whether your pastor, priest, minister, bishop, or rabbi is ready to perform such marriages in your chapels and sanctuaries.
3. Religious adoption agencies will be challenged by government agencies to give up their long-held right to place children only in homes with both a mother and a father. Catholic Charities in Boston has already closed its doors because of the legalization of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts.
4. Religions that sponsor private schools and which provide housing for married students will be required to provide housing for same-sex couples, even if it runs counter to church doctrine, or lose tax exemptions and benefits.
5. Ministers who preach against same-sex marriages will be sued for hate speech and could be fined by the government. It has already happened in Canada, one of six countries that have legalized gay marriage.
6. It will cost you money. A change in the definition of marriage will bring a cascade of lawsuits. Even if courts eventually find in favor of a defender of traditional marriage (highly improbable given today's activist judges), think of the money – your money, your church contributions – that will have to be spent on legal fees.

I wish i could vote too! YES ON PROP 8~!! Call me when you are down this week so we can kick it!
I wish my vote would count. I hope that people in Cali will stand up for what's right. I want that video on my blog!!!
Oh, we ARE standing up for what's right! Every vote WILL count, that's why we need everyone to spread the word to all of their California friends and family. You'd be suprised to know how many non-members believe as we do. California is still a great place to live and as long as we raise righteous, service oriented children who love California, the next generation will make it an even better place to live just by their example and missionary efforts!
That sums it up perfectly! I really like how the video showed the view it did. Surprising what just 4 judges in CA can bring the entire state, and country, to.
That is so scarey what happened to London. Sometimes big sisters are a little too helpful! Hope all is going well for you guys.
WeLL HeCk YeAH!! Anytime. I can't talk any of the girls down here into a craft day...guess I'll have to come to Ashton :)
Thanks for leaving a note...I too am a fan of the blogstalking. There are some creative people out there...so glad they "share" their ideas.
I liked this video too. You will always be a Cali girl no matter how long youhave lived in Idaho! ROOTS!
What a great video, I hadn't seen that one yet. Its very important this proposition gets passed. Thanks for spreading the word!
This prop. 8 has me feeling so many emotions! I hope most vote yes. But with CA having to large cities with a big gay population, it has me worried. I think it horrible otherwise, esp for our church. The consequences are enormous if it happens to become legal, just awful! Thanks for this post!
