I get a TON of email on the subject of Proposition 8 every day. I have friends emailing me information and I get things from all the campaigns. This is a very HOT issue here in California and I will share more about that in another post. However, the purpose of this post is to tell you that despite the overwhelming money flowing into the No on 8 campaign, some of the latest polls are saying that the Yes on 8 campaign is leading…Check this out…
This week’s Los Angeles Business from bizjournals Business Pulse survey asked: How will you vote on Proposition 8?
The voting broke down as follows:
Vote yes, I oppose same-sex marriage — 61 percent
Vote no, I support same-sex marriage — 36 percent
Don’t know/not sure — 3 percent
And just so you know, Prop. 8 actually doesn’t even mention the word homosexual. What it says is that marriage should be defined as one man and one woman. (Remember Prop. 22…it’s that all over again) I just felt the need to point the spin out to you.
Now on to this news story sent to me from a friend. It comes from a letter written to the editor of the Gay Lesbian Times
and it is very telling, especially when it comes to the indoctrination of the youth.
“Today we face a political emergency in the Queer community. The defeat of Proposition 8 by all legal means available is our immediate priority. NOTHING – not even the Presidential election – is more important.”
NOTHING HEH? Apparently. Read on…
Rex Wockner’s article “Polls flip on California marriage, Gays losing now” (October 9) doesn’t mention the scariest aspect of the new polls showing anti-marriage Proposition 8 ahead: the gain of support occurred almost entirely among young voters (ages 18 to 34). Before this poll, marriage equality advocates had always assumed that the youth were on our side; that even if today’s cohort of voters was against same-sex marriage, the bigots would slowly die off and eventually there would be a clear majority on our side as young people, raised in an atmosphere of live-and-let-live acceptance of Queer people, entered voting age and replaced them.
Insert my commentary: I think this is fascinating for a few reasons. First, we all need to remember that since Roe V Wade was passed in 1973, there have been millions of babies killed by women who felt they had no choice. The problem with that is that many of these women were not pro-life and it stands to reason, that as a result, the majority of the people who are now in the 18-34 year old demographic are the offspring of pro-lifers. This means that generally these women are conservative, which then leads me to believe that they also hold traditional values, which means that they believe that marriage is one man and one woman.
Next, the attempt to indoctrinate the youth of this past generation is very clear, all one has to do is look at the fact that the NEA (National Education Association) supports Obama, and the California Teacher’s Association has donated a lot of money to the No on 8 campaign. And according to the CTA’s very own voter guide (PDF) they specifically state that they support the No on 8 Campaign. Here’s what it says…
CTA believes that all people should be allowed equal protections under the law. California’s
Constitution should guarantee the same freedoms and rights to everyone – no one group
should be singled out to be treated diff erently. Prop. 8 mandates one set of rules for gay
and lesbian couples and another set of rules for everyone else. That’s not fair. California laws
should treat everyone equally.
It is also interesting to note that the CTA also supports voting No on Prop 4 which is the amendment that would require parental notification in the event a minor wanted an abortion. (See the connection?) Here’s the part…
Prop. 4 puts the health and safety of California teenagers at risk. Doctors, pediatricians,
nurses and counselors, including the California Medical Association, California Nurses
Association and the California Association of School Counselors oppose Prop. 4 because of
the health risks it poses for teenage girls.
Prop 4 does exactly the opposite of what the CTA is saying. Read the information for yourself at the Yes on 4 campaign’s website.
So despite all of the indoctrination attempts from the homosexual lobby, and despite the fact that they have successfully indoctrinated the education system, the majority of the youth in the state of California have decided to vote YES on 8. These youth believe that marriage is defined as one man and one woman. From my keyboard to God’s ears.
