Prop 8 aka. Prop Izzz8!


Ummm...sweet freeze frame shot....NOT!


You know...politics is not my strong point. Not that I haven't wanted it to be...it just hasn't worked out that way. However...when my church leaders come right out and ask that I, as a single adult, take an active part in something I already believe so strongly in...DUNZO!!!

So here I have a rhyme or two that might help any of you needing a little push in the right direction. We shall see how my lyrical powers of persuasion turn out. Boys and girls - get out there and vote!! I'll have to admit this is my first year that I will be voting in a Presidential Election (and even though my looks (or lyrics) may say otherwise...I didn't just turn 18) - yes, embarrassing I know. But I'm making it happen this year. So get those absentee ballots in, mark your calendars for Nov. 4th - and let's get busy doing what we need to do to protect marriage. Cause believe you me...one day I'm gettin' hitched. And I'm havin' me some kids too - so we gotta keep these things as they are!

Please do all you can to help people understand the reasons I (and probably you) feel so strongly about protecting marriage. Visit the informative sites that have been created to help everyone understand the facts and repercussions of the future voting result of Proposition 8.

What is Prop 8?

This is what it's all about! I'm pumped to be a part of making history and to stand up for what I believe in. I feel an immense amount of love for the haters that use some crazy sign language at me when they notice my "YES ON PROP 8" bumper sticker. I really hope if you also happen to be a LDS young single adult you are doing what you can to spread the word in whatever (silly...maybe even regrettable? (hence my video) ) way you can! We've been asked to head this one out! As Allison Breig mentioned in an email to the Relief Society of our ward;

"We have been saved for these latter days
to build the kingdom in righteous ways.
We hear the words our prophet declares:
Let each who's worthy go forth and share.

We are as the army of Helaman.
We have been taught in our youth.
And we will be the Lord's missionaries
To bring the world His truth!"

-LDS hymn "We'll Bring the World His Truth" (verse 2)

Ladies and Gents...I'm on it!!! Hope you are too! Vote Yes on Prop 8!!! XOXO to all!!!

P.S. Yo YSA - make your 1 hour of phone calls a day! It's sprint time baby...
