Yes, CA needs all the help it can get. Unfortunately, you guys have screwed the rest of the nation over too many times for the rest of us to get worked up about. Nevertheless, good luck.
I think Prop 8 is going to pass. I know the MSM tried to make it look as if people were growing more accepting of gay marriage but apparently that is not true.
And remember that many people will not declare they are for it for fear of being labeled a homophobe or the likes.
I have seen very few “No on 8” bumper stickers, but many “Yes 0n 8”. I’m in the north San Diego area and it’s fairly conservative, but it is still encouraging.
I support you on this proposition. But not being a legal scholar, explain to me why this proposition, if approved, will not be overturned by your Supreme Court, as proposition 22 was?
We now also have this problem in Connecticut, where we have no referendum process. Some feel voting on our ballot question of a constitutional convention could eventually lead to our having such a referendum process, but I’m skeptical. Our political environment here is so thoroughly liberal I shudder to think what might happen at a constitutional convention.

Why? I thought this was going to pass easily regardless of what polls say.
From further reading, it's unclear if these "diversity book bags" were required or optional. The pages briefly shown only appear to indicate a single example of families different from the wedded natural mother and father. This is an attempt to put kids from divergent circumstances on a level playing field in the classroom.
A parent must always be involved in a child's education and can easily teach their moral values and Faith in the home. You should NEVER expect other people to do this for you. You can't keep your child in a protective bubble, ignorant of the world and its ways by sending him to public school which must serve all the children of your neighbors some of who will be rich, poor, black, latino, white, immigrant, native, asian, homosexual, divorced, unmarried, Catholic, Baptist, Jewish, atheist, more conservative or radical liberal. It is every parent's responsibility to prepare her children to live safely and thrive wisely in such a world.
Further, at any time the legislature and pass legislation to require teaching about homosexuals. I seem to remember Sheila Kuehl authored such a bill. It passed, I think in 2007, and Arnold vetoed.
We've had legalized homosexual marriage for a some months already, including at least the first month of the general public school year. The world hasn't ended.
..this is from 2004 but you can see where all the left's power is concentrated--note: red counties are Democrat in this map...
