One ballot issue, California’s Proposition 8, will be more important to the future of this nation and all of Western Civilization than even the vote on the two very flawed major party offerings for President in this year's election on November 4, 2008.
.
PRINCIPLE
The battle to place Proposition 8 on the ballot in California has been heavyweight-boxing-championship tough. Both sides have landed some severe punches to the opposition. In one corner proudly stands the pro-same-sex ‘marriage’ advocates (THE IMITATORS & IMTIMIDATORS.) In the opposite corner humbly but resolutely stand the , one-man, one-woman marriage or legitimate marriage advocates (the PASSIONATE & PRINCIPLED.) The one-man, one-woman advocates are the reigning champions and have been so since time began. The upstart same-sex ‘marriage’ advocates fight dirty and have hoards of money and friends in high places, which they are using to influence the fight.
Round One was won by the one-man, one-woman marriage advocates, who answered a fight left handed punch propelled by the California Supreme Court on May 15th that declared same-sex ‘marriage’ to be ‘legal.’ ‘Legal’ to the same degree that the U.S. Supreme Court decreed that killing of unborn babies to be ‘legal’ in 1973. In both cases the courts’ ruling were activist and tyrannical, and more importantly, immoral, unjust, and unethical.
Round Two was won by the same-sex ‘marriage’ advocates who rallied with the assistance of California Attorney General Jerry Brown’s biased and totally political rewriting of the ballot language of Proposition 8 to make the issue out to be a civil rights matter and not a matter of morality and commonsense. The one-man, one-woman advocates staggered and absorbed the punch below the belt and kept fighting with new resolve. The Church in California may have awoken from its slumber and is beginning to join the fight.
The match is even. The campaign the next two and a half months will be intense. Both side will seek help, both inside and outside of California. The punches will continue to feverishly fly. The fight will be won by the side that perseveres . . .
RECAPPING OF THE FIGHT SO FAR

“The California State Supreme Court in a 4-3 decision ruled that California homosexuals have the same opportunity to “marry” as heterosexuals. This is an outrageous violation of not only the will of the people, but it is also a clear breach of public trust in regard to the duties and powers of the state supreme court.” --- Brad Dacus, President, Pacific Justice Institute
ROLE OF THE JUDICIARY
“They (the California Supreme Court) are taking away the people’s right to govern themselves. That (making laws) is not the job of the courts. The job of the court is to interpret the laws and see that the laws are faithfully preserved. That is the job of the courts, not making new laws.” - - - Chuck Colson, President, Prison Fellowship
DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE
“ (Same-sex ‘marriage’ is) an assault on the underpinnings of Western Civilization . . . (it) will lead to the end of marriage . . ." --- Chuck Colson
SAME-SEX ‘MARRIAGE’S’ IMPACT ON CHILDREN
There will be a terrible impact on children if Proposition 8 fails. Schools will ratchet up their indoctrination of children in the acceptability and promotion of the same-sex and so-called alternative lifestyles and so-called same-sex ‘marriage.’ Masculine and feminine roles will be blurred and tarnished and children will be left bewildered and confused. Society will be hurt as a result as well as children because of this confusion.
AVOIDING ARMAGEDDON
Failure to pass of Proposition 8 will be Armageddon to the American culture and society. California sets the pattern for much good and especially evil in this society.
TAKE ACTION
To insure that the PASSIONATE & PRINCIPLED defenders of traditional one-man, one-woman marriage win and the IMITATORS & IMTIMIDATORS lose, vote YES on Proposition 8 if you live in California. Every American can uphold the sanctify of traditional marriage by financially and prayerfully supporting:
