Kicking Signs and Taking Names - On the Name of 8!

 

Posted by: CotoBlogzz | 10/24/2008 7:20 PM

The fundamental argument advanced by the Restoring Marriage and Protecting Children - Yes on 8 (Yo8) organization is that what seems to be lost in the current debate on proposition 8,  is the rights of the voiceless:  Regardless of which side of the debate one is in, the voiceless victims are the children.  The organization points out to statistics demonstrating that children raised in an atomic marriage are better off by any objective standard.  So the organization has decided to kick signs and take names, by naming corporations and organization against proposition eight.  Of course the opposition views the Yo8 tactics tantamount to extortion.

 




For example:  Time Warner (Time Warner and Comcast are listed on Equality California's Web site as corporate sponsors that gave $50,000 each to the group) Pacific Gas & Electric, Levi Strauss, AT&T.

Also, the California Teachers Association ( donated $1,000,000.00, according to the Mercury News), the LAUSD and the Communications Workers of America are in support of defeating the proposition:

On the individual contribution side of the ledger:
Google co-founder and president Sergey Brin donated $100,000 to campaign, while co-founder Larry Page donated $40,000 according to the Mercury News - Brin matches talk show host Ellen DeGeneres for the largest individual donation during the campaign's final weeks

In its website, Yo8 chronicles the San Diego Public School Board and Teachers opposition to the California Teachers Association and State Board of Education, as well as the efforts from students of American River College, the largest community college in California, rejecting  an attempt to recall nine student council members in response to their endorsement of Prop. 8: All of the student council members targeted survived the recall by a 200-300 vote margin out of the 3,531 ballots cast on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the site.

The Yo8 website contains a press release dated today and attributed to Pastor Warren with the following preamble:  "Rick Warren, nationally acclaimed pastor and author of the New York Times bestselling The Purpose Driven Life, announced today his support in favor of Proposition  8, California's Protect Marriage Act"
