President Packer told Arizonians in a Regional Conference held November 2, 2008 that if members of the church want to follow the brethren they should vote for Prop 8 in California and a similar proposition in Arizona.
The church has made the decision to stand firm for what is right regardless of the consequences. The Church will not drift with the times. I support its effort both in time and money to protect the sacred nature of marriage.
Consider this, the California Democratic Party has raised over $30 million to defeat Prop. 8 and the LDS church. The Republicans support the church. I am proud to be a Republican.
Talk all you want about hybrid Democrats in Utah County but the money Democrats raise and send to the National Party goes to support liberal inititives like Prop. 8. This is a "fact of life" and all the rhetoric about the "person not the party" is double talk - the person is the party.
