Battle in the Home Stretch: New Poll Shows California Marriage Amendment Edging Ahead

[LifeSiteNews] 17 Oct 2008--In a shocking turnaround, a recent poll has shown Proposition 8's fierce battle for acceptance has resulted in a 10-point swing, giving the natural marriage amendment a slim edge among voters in the final countdown to election day.

Last week's poll, which was conducted on behalf of four California television stations, shows 47% in favor of Proposition 8, with 42% opposed. The poll marks a distinct turn in the tide since a Sept. 25 SurveyUSA poll found 44% in favor, 49% opposed.

While the "Yes on 8" campaign has managed to give Proposition 8 the lead, both sides are calling for their supporters to fight harder than ever as the battle for voter loyalty enters a dead heat.

Pollsters say that "Yes on 8" television ads most likely played the critical factor in the switch. Thanks to a surge in donations, Proposition 8 launched a television and radio advertisement campaign warning voters of the ramifications of failing to pass Proposition 8 upon education and religious rights.

I'm a CHRISTIAN and I'm voting NO on 8.

Why?

Because it seems that all the funding has come from false Christian groups like ROMAN CATHOLICS and "MORMONS" both of whom are idolaters (worshiping Men, Mary, beads, little statues of saints, etc).

IDOLATRY is a worse sin. Voting yes on 8 supports idolatry.
