Aren't all men cr8ted equal?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

The proposed amendment for prop 8 states:

Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.

How on earth does this match with "all men are created equal" or that they have the unalienable right to "the pursuit of happiness"?

Please vote No on this nonsense. If you are choosing not to vote, can I at least convince you to cast your vote for me since I'm not yet allowed to have one?

PS The Yes on Prop 8 commercials make me nauseous. This has nothing to do with out children's education, however it has everything to do with equality, freedom and the removal of bigotry. What you want to do with your church is your churches choice. Please don't force your religious viewpoints on me by attempting to embody them in the state constitution. According to wikipedia we're spending $40 million+ on this insanity....

PPS And this blatant attempt at extortion by the 'Yes for Prop 8' crowd is just sleazy. By all means, please print the list of organizations supporting NO on 8, and I will gladly go out of my way to give them my business.

This entire fiasco is so ridiculously LAME... sounds like a big repeat of what the blacks had to go through to get rights when slavery started to disappear. Maybe soon someone will propose that gays get their own schools and ride at the backs of the busses. Grrr....
