The message got out.
What was bogging the drive down was the false statements that moonbeam inserted into the ballot language. The proposition didn’t deny anyone the right to marry; it just prohibits calling a union between persons of the same sex marriage. They still have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex, as always, but they don’t wish to do that. They deny themselves.
We were also out-spent by three to one. (Soros again)
And there is the heart of the matter. Outside of California how active did the evangelical/ fundamentalist movement assist in passing Prop 8? Did the Southern Baptist and Assembly of God get the word out? Did they ask for donations and financial support? Did Willow Creek? Did NewLife in Colorado Springs?
My guess is they all did something, but my prayer is that they all do a lot, lot more next time.
