Adventists In Defense of Marriage
"If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?" Ps. 11:3

A Brief History
On March 7, 2000 millions of Californians voted for and passed Proposition 22 which read:

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

This proposition was endorsed by the Pacific Union Conference Executive Committee.

But then on May 15, 2008 four San Francisco judges on the California Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned their vote opening the gates for same sex marriages in California.

There is still hope
Over a million Californians have signed a petition  to bring marriage to a vote of the people through a state constitutional amendment called Proposition 8 which reads (just as Proposition 22):

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

An amendment to the constitution is an historic event. It is the First Amendment of the US Constitution that protects our freedom of religion. A Yes vote on Proposition 8 will continue to protect religious liberty against gay activists redefining marriage in California. Twenty-seven other states have already done this with positive results.

As Seventh-day Adventist and American citizens we strongly support a Yes vote on Proposition 8. For multiple reasons, both civil and religious, we encourage others to do the same.
