California’s voting ballots are almost set to go to print – and the Proposition 8 language will stay the same.
Right wing activists have been fighting for weeks to change wording on the measure, which would overturn this year’s gay marriage win. Non-profit collective Yes on 8 claim that Attorney General Jerry Brown’s harsh working would encourage a “no” vote, thus leaving same-sex nuptials in place.
Two courts have ruled against their argument and now it seems they’re taking defeat gracefully. The coalition’s spokeswoman Jennifer Kerns remarked, “We intend to leave the final outcome to the voters.”
A recent fund raising tally shows that Proposition 8 supporters have raised about $3.7 million, while progressive parties have about $4.1 million. Approximately 51% of voters said they plan to vote against the prohibitive legislation.
How about we take this to the next level?

51% is WAY too close for comfort, particularly with the crazies involved. There’s a lot of work to do.

There’s nothing graceful about them or the way they’ve pursued this initiative.

Cali Gays are in Deep Shit and McCain knows that California and New York are vulnerable for Obama (who went Big Time for Hillary in the Primary lest we forget) because an anti-gay Democrat won’t get elected but an anti-gay Republican always does. Also, to make California or New York in Electoral play (ie Piss off Blue Collar Whites)will burn through Barack’s coffers. This is Reagan all over again. Very Rovian if they do this!

I wish they’d update the poll. It’d be nice to show which way things are moving instead of repeating the same one poll done when the ruling first came out.
