propositions ...

Proposition 8
pro marriage .. www.protectmarriage.com
here in CA people will vote on Nov.4 not only to choose president but also about 12 propositions of the state California. Quite a few interesting in fact, I'll be happy to tell about the rest of it as well if it's of interests .. but specially proposition 8 is the most debated throughout the state and the most interesting for us too..
first of all: it's about whether state should "redefine" marriage as between men and women, or should allow same sex couple to marry.
people had voted before, against same sex marriage. but the court ruled that it's unconstitutional. hence they can get married in fact now... now the voting again ..
it's interesting to see when walking or driving around.. you can tell just by looking at the yard if that people will vote for or against prop8 and therefore vote for McCain or Obama..
I'll be interested to see what will come out. the poles shows a bit more on the No votes (liberals, and so favoring the same sex marriage, equity for everyone, etc etc..) but the media of course talks about the Bradley effect, when often people tell the poles one thing (to be more politically correct, named after an afroamerican candidate, who was shown to lead, but at the end had failed against a white candidate) and will vote another thing inside the cube..
we'll see..
but of course, until then let's tell everyone that marriage is in fact between men and women .. right?? :D
