I gave money yesterday (donate by Sunday and your donation will be doubled). I've seen several diaries already about the need to defeat this but here is one more, because these bigots need to be stopped.
Here's the text of the Proposition:
ELIMINATES RIGHT OF SAME-SEX COUPLES TO MARRY. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Changes the California Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in California. Provides that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. Fiscal Impact: Over next few years, potential revenue loss, mainly sales taxes, totaling in the several tens of millions of dollars, to state and local governments. In the long run, likely little fiscal impact on state and local governments.
This is evil and we need to continue raising funds (did I mention if you donate by Sunday your donation will be doubled?) to defeat this. So I am asking you, if you can, please please donate to help defeat this horrible proposition.
