L.A. Dodgers Baseball Star [Jeff Kent] Donates $15,000 to California Marriage Initiative

LOS ANGELES, October 31, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Jeff Kent, 2nd baseman for the L.A. Dodgers, donated $15,000 to the “Yes on 8” campaign last Monday.

“Yes on 8” promotes the passage of Proposition 8, which is an initiative set to be put before the Californian public this November 4 that would define marriage as being between one man and one woman. Yes on 8 has had steep opposition from the “No on 8” campaign, and both sides have spent over $30,000,000. As the L.A. Times reports, Proposition 8 is by far the most expensive ballot measure this year in any state.

Kent’s donation to the campaign is timely. The No on 8 campaign’s recent acquisition of wealthy benefactors such as George Lucas and Ellen DeGeneres has endangered Proposition 8, as LifeSiteNews.com reported on October 22nd. Both parties are putting a major portion of their funds towards television advertising.

I always liked Jeff Kent. He was one of the only people in baseball unwilling to put up with Barry Bonds’ crap.

Meanwhile, former San Francisco 49er Steve Young is a gutless coward who doesn't wear the pants in his family...

God Bless Jeff Kent for that ... both for the money, and being willing to step forward and be counted.

He won’t be receiving any invites to Hollywood cocktail parties, be assured.

Awesome! Thanks Jeff. :-). Yes on 8 signs all over my neighborhood. I just moved here so I feel very good about my neighbors :-). Of course there are the very few no on 8 signs which kill me as they say something stupid about equality for all—LOL. These people will try any amount or any kind of honey to push their immorality on everyone.

I’m not a Dodger fan and my wife is from Giants country, but good for Jeff Kent.

Isn’t he a potential free agent?

Heck that's nothing.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine on Seinfeld) gave Obammie the Commie over $26,000 just a few days ago.

Boycott everything she does.
