Right now in California, the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman is at stake. The Supreme Court recently went against the majority vote of the people defining marriage as such. On November 4 of this year, Californians will have the opportunity to vote on a proposed amendment to the California state constitution that will restore the definition of marriage as previously approved by the voters.Nic and I feel very strongly that marriage between a man and woman is ordained of God and that marriage and family life is one of the greatest blessing we have.
We both plan on voting yes on proposition 8.
Right now the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints along with the Catholic, Evangelic, and Orthodox Jewish churches are joining together in an effort to encourage those who also agree to let their voice be heard by voting yes on proposition 8.
We found a great website that contains more information on proposition 8.
If you are a California resident living out of State like us, you can request an absentee ballot at http://www.govoteabsentee.org/

Well done, Tammy & Nic.
I support this proposition, which simply works to preserve the time-honored definition of marriage that has existed in societies around the world throughout history.
This proposition is not an attack on the gay lifestyle. Proposition 8 doesn't take away any rights or benefits from gays in domestic partnerships. Under California law, "domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections and benefits" as married spouses. (Family Code 297.5) There are no exceptions. Proposition 8 will not change this.
