How to fight? The two candidates for governor are supporters of gay marriage.

Pass another amendment? Not possible.

How about recall the governor, current or elected? Maybe.

Elect a prop 8 supportive state legislature? This would be the best fight strategy but hard to do and time-comsuming.

Impossible to do. Recall elections might be a way to go. Recall the judges, the governor, attorney general. The government is becoming so non-responsive to the people that it makes you wonder if things will eventually force people into civil disobedience. The Sons of Liberty had an answer for how to deal with this kind of problem...but that would cause chaos. Personally, I think it would be great American Spirit if they passed the amendment again anyway.

Its virtually impossible to do anything with the legislature. It's so gerrymandered as to make improvement virtually impossible...and the Dems control nearly 2/3s of both houses.

I guess you could put a lot of effort into making the redrawing of the legislative boundaries next year after the census is completed come out in your favor. However, I think California has idiotically handed drawing of their Congressional districts to an elite cabal of 15 people...not even the legislature has a say anymore.

I wonder if a massive tax protest would get their attention? Californians could ask their Republican representatives to vote against ANY budget until California defends Prop. 8 and prop. 187 since it takes 2/3 of the legislature to pass the budget. All state business would stop until they follow the will of the people. Another thing to do would be to put a bill that requires the state to exhaust all legislative appeals in defense of popularly passed initiatives. So they don't scuttle them like they are doing with prop.8 and prop 187.

Time to have a mass march on Sacramento with shotguns, just be sure to pick up the empty shells when we leave.

Also, people in CA really don’t know what they are doing about much of anything.
