Proponents of Prop 8 continue to lie in their television ads.

I'm really fed up with the No on 8 campaign, which seems to be running the kind of ineffective campaign that was run in Miami in 1978 against Anita Bryant. No grass roots, no leafletting, the TV campaign doesn't answer the Yes fears and lies head on.

Anyway, a co-worker where I work put this together and has contacted the No on 8 campaign about getting this information out there and I wanted to share this with everyone on my blog.

Here’s what’s fiction and what’s fact:

Fiction: Teaching children about same-sex marriage will happen here unless we pass Prop 8.

Fact: Not one word in Prop 8 mentions education, and no child can be forced, against the will of their parents, to be taught anything about health and family issues at school. California law prohibits it, and the Yes on 8 campaign knows they are lying. Sacramento Superior Court Judge Timothy Frawley has already ruled that this claim by Prop 8 proponents is “false and misleading.”

Fiction: Churches could lose their tax-exemption status.

Fact: Nothing in Prop 8 would force churches to do anything. In fact, the court decision regarding marriage specifically says “no religion will be required to change its religious policies or practices with regard to same-sex couples, and no religious officiant will be required to solemnize a marriage in contravention of his or her religious beliefs.”

Fiction: A Massachusetts case about a parent's objection to the school curriculum will happen here.

Fact: Unlike Massachusetts, California gives parents an absolute right to remove their kids and opt-out of teaching on health and family instruction they don't agree with. The opponents know that California law already covers this and Prop 8 won't affect it, so they bring up an irrelevant case in Massachusetts.

Fiction: Four Activist Judges in San Francisco…

Fact: Prop 8 is not about courts and judges, it's about eliminating a fundamental right. Judges didn't grant the right, the constitution guarantees the right. Proponents of Prop 8 use an outdated and stale argument that judges aren't supposed to protect rights and freedoms. This campaign is about whether Californians, right now, in 2008 are willing to amend the constitution for the sole purpose of eliminating a fundamental right for one group of citizens.

Fiction: People can be sued over personal beliefs.

Fact: California’s laws already prohibit discrimination against anyone based on race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. This has nothing to do with marriage.

Fiction: Pepperdine University supports the Yes on 8 campaign.

Fact: The university has publicly disassociated itself from Professor Richard Peterson of Pepperdine University, who is featured in the ad, and has asked to not be identified in the Yes on 8 advertisements.

Fiction: Unless Prop 8 passes, CA parents won't have the right to object to what their children are taught in school.

Fact: California law clearly gives parents and guardians broad authority to remove their children from any health instruction if it conflicts with their religious beliefs or moral convictions.

Regardless of how you feel about the issue, we should not eliminate fundamental rights for ANY Californians. Please vote NO on Prop 8.

VOTE NO ON PROP 8

I hope this doesn't pass, but right now, the yes on 8 "LIES" are working in their favor. Please, PLEASE, P L E A S E VOTE NO on PROP 8 and here's why... Please listen to the video before you cast your vote...

Presidential Debate 10/07/2008

I really don't have much to say about the debate last night that you don't already know. However, my friends, here are a few pictures I wanted to share with you about "That One", our next president, and "That Other Older One and his Train Wreck"! Which by the way, could really use some hair plugs (transplants) and more.

That One = Our next President 2008


That Old Maverick = McSame



Finally Obama/Biden thinking about the future and transportation and That Old Arrogant One and his Train Wreck

With Less Than A Month To Go...

Please get out and vote NO on 8. Obama/Biden 2008

Well, after a short break from blogging, I'm back and here's my take on the Vice President Debate

It's amazing how party-brainwashed some people are. Any independent/objective thinking individual could observe that Palin did well only in comparison to her horrific previous interviews. And she only sounded strong when she completely avoided questions she was uncomfortable with and instead spewed off some scripts fed to her by her coaches. This was a debate NOT a town hall meeting. In a debate you're supposed to ANSWER THE QUESTIONS! What good is Palin's straight talk if she's only willing to talk about certain things?

Ok, on a less serious note here, its funny, given Palin's lack of experience, I believe Tina Fey would indeed be a better candidate than Sarah. After all, she does a great job at portraying her here in the latest SNL Debate clip w/Queen Latifah (love her). You be the judge.



And, as an added bonus for sticking around, here is the Katie Couric/Tina Fay Interview
