Proposition 8

It's over, and I am overwhelmingly happy, relieved, and truthfully, surprised. Thank you to everyone who was so eager to help and who continued to say YES to me after all the requests! And specifically, thank you to Tarah, Rochelle, Laura B., Laura C., and Karma for being such great examples. I LOVED working with you in this effort.

"This is a great day for marriage. The people of California stood up for traditional marriage and reclaimed this great institution. We are gratified that voters chose to protect traditional marriage and to enshrine its importance in the state constitution. We trust that this decision will be respected by all Californians.
The Yes on Proposition 8 campaign has been the single largest, most powerful grassroots movement in the history of American ballot initiative campaigns. We raised approximately $40 million from over 70,000 individual contributors. We recruited the active support of over 100,000 volunteers who gave tirelessly of their time and energies to our cause. We could not have won without them! These dedicated volunteers have visited millions of homes, made millions of phone calls, distributed over one million yard signs and displayed one million bumper strips. The silent majority is alive and well in California."
