Help out!

Okay, so this is a REALLY divisive issue but I just wanted to spread the word to the Saints who don’t live in California and may not know all about it. If you have issues with what I say I understand - feel free to share your opinion in the comment section if you want to vent or offer support. I personally feel that the family unit is the core of a successful society, and that the problems we’re seeing today are due to the erosion of that foundation. Further disintegration of the family will only lead to the fall of our nation. Every kid needs a mom and a dad - it’s the whole yin-yang thing - they need to learn kindness and nurturing from the mother and toughness and resourcefulness from the father. That’s just a super-generalization, but it’s pretty much the crux of it. If the yin or yang is missing, the child grows up unbalanced and has to look elsewhere to fill the void.
Anyhoo, this November in California Proposition 8 will be placed on the ballot. If passed, it will restrict marriage to a union between a man and woman. You can read about it here:

If you want to help out but aren’t in California to knock doors you can make a donation here:

Protectmarriage.com was the organization that put the proposition on the ballot. It’s easy to make a donation - click on “Donate” and fill out the amount and your credit card information.
This is a pretty big battle we’re fighting and a victory with Proposition 8 will really help.
