I am so excited about the upcoming election. This will be my first year to vote and I want to make my voice heard. One of the most important issues on the ballot this year is Prop 8. Who would have ever thought that we would have to vote on the definition of marriage? One man and one woman join together in marriage to create a family. I have nothing against two people of the same gender having all of the same civil rights as a man and a woman legally married, but we can't ignore the fact that a man and women can create children and two people of the same gender cannot. Call it Heavenly Fathers plan or just simply biology, but it is not the same and we cannot pretend that it is, no matter how much a same gender couple loves each other. Children deserve to be raised in a home with a mother and father. Two mothers cannot make up for a missing father and two fathers cannot make up for a missingg mother. Unborn children have a right to both a mother and a father. I urge everyone to think about the issue of Prop 8 seriously and decide where you stand on the issue. This ammendment does not only effect those of the same gender. Without a doubt in my mind, this ammendment will effect not only what will be taught in schools to our children, but also our religious rights for generations to come. Check out the following links if you are still not sure, but remember to get out and vote on Nov. 4. Yes on 8!!!
