Arnold Says Overturn Proposition 8 -- Republican Schwarzenegger Supports Same Sex Marriage California






Ronald Reagan's California successor follows in his footsteps in supporting a fairness issue, just as Reagan did when the far right petitioned to remove all teachers who were gay from public schools. Not so long ago in 1978 too. Scary that is how they think, but there you go. Truth wins.

Arnold Schwarzenegger sounds like he's working with the powers that be to make sure same sex couples can retain their right to marry that was summarily stripped from them by Proposition 8.

Hope this moves forward. Republicans need to figure out that Americans are tired of having the government in their bedrooms and deciding if they can marry the adult of their choice -- be they of a different race, same race, different color, same color, different sex, same sex and so on.

LA Wild Fires






You really have to feel sorry for these people losing their homes and possessions in the wake of the recent wildfires in California.


California Fires Force Thousands To Evacuate






Officials in California are ordering more evacuations as wildfires continue to rage north of Los Angeles.

You got to love the comments about this on Youtube -- that God is spreading his "very warm love" onto those who voted yes on Proposition 8.

On a more serious note, I have friends who live out there. I hope they're safe.

Expert- Lawyers 'all over the place' on constitutionality of Prop. 8






I still don't understand the hatred towards gays in this country and the church establishment.
I for one, believe gay couples deserve the same benefits and rights as their hetero counterparts.

The haters, in both the Mormon church and the Catholic church spent millions trying to defeat proposition 8.

Because you see, it's more Godly to spend people's donated money to stop the spread of "teh Gay" then feed the hungry or educate the poor.
I'm glad the big-money churches here in America have their priorities straight. (sarcasm)

I for one having several gay and bi friends will be glad when the lawyers rip this thing apart on constitutional grounds and finally set things right.
This is supposed to be America, land of the free, home of the brave, not the land of the "everyone has rights" but gay people.

Looking straight at the camera, the Senator says:

"Proposition 8 would be a terrible mistake for California. It's about discrimination and we must always say NO to that."

Senator Feinstein joins the chorus of leaders across California who are calling on voters to reject this unfair initiative.

California Gay Marriage Ban Becomes Big Money Race


From Yahoo News

At least 64,000 people from all 50 states and more than 20 other countries have given money to support or oppose a same-sex marriage ban in California, reflecting broad interest in the race that some consider second in national importance only to the presidential election.

Ten days before the vote on Proposition 8, campaign finance records show that total contributions for and against the measure have surpassed $60 million, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.

That would be a record nationally for a ballot initiative based on a social rather than economic issue, campaign finance experts say. It also eclipses the combined total of $33 million spent in the 24 states where similar measures have been put to voters since 2004.


Not shocking, to say the least. As we all know, politics and money go hand in hand. It's just a matter of who has more money to throw at their cause.

Here's hoping it goes in favor of gay marriage staying.
