These two buttons have been on my sidebar for quite a while. It is time to take them down...thankfully, with results that we have prayed and worked for.
Florida Amendment 2:
Ban on Gay Marriage
6:02 a.m. EST, Nov 5 '08
Yes 4,662,558 62% No 2,851,598 38%California Prop 8
Unofficial returns show the measure passing with a 440,000 vote margin. But 3 million ballots remain uncounted, which Kendell said made the outcome too close to call.
"It's a very steep climb back," she said. "If tomorrow indicates that those ballots are from counties which voted overwhelmingly to defeat Prop 8, then we will have to look seriously at a possibility of making that climb."
The LDS Church's campaign to pass Proposition 8 was its most vigorous since the 1970s, when it helped defeat the Equal Rights Amendment.
Asked whether the LDS Church would engage in similar activism in the future, Clayton said, "It depends on the issue, and the time and what is going on."

I just spoke with kids in California. The protesters at the temple are scary right now. I pray for the safety and security of the patrons, and I am so thankful for the results of this election in Florida, Arizona, and California. It's a fight that must be fought again and again.
You know how I feel about it.
