OBAMA = CHANGE! (& a Prop 8)


And that is exactly what this country needs, CHANGE!

As Auntie stated in her blog, this is not meant to offend anyone, its just my opinion.

I, being a non-working student, and living with my family, we are all middle class Americans. Obama's issues on economy, were of biggest importance to me. With Obama as President, we will see so much more oppurtunity developing in this country. Great things will come from this election, and I am soo excited to say that I was apart of this historical event.

With Obama as President, we will see more job oppurtunities develop, our childrens school budgets increase, health care will be affordable which will allow many Americans who have never had insurance be able to now, we will have increased homeland security to protect our country and communities, taxes for senior citizens will disappear, middle-class Americans taxes will be decreased GREATLY, health insurance will be AMAZING for veterans, American women will still have the choice of abortion (which is the way it should be), and lastly, HE WILL END THIS WAR!!!

Obama won by a landslide, American's know we need change, and Obama is the only way to do this. Bush has destroyed this country, and McCain would have made it worse.

I'd also like to note that I am THRILLED that they are petitioning Prop 8. I voted No, my mom voted no, my grandmother voted no, all of my friends and their families voted no.... NO was the right way. Obviously, it was a very close call, as it being ALMOST 50/50.

My views on Prop 8 are simple - LOVE is LOVE. In the consitution, we have "freedom of religion" which means religion should not have any control over propositions. However, in this country, that will never happen. I am a Christian, and I love God with everything I am, but I do not agree that marriage must be man and woman. We have equal rights in this country, and Gay people are humans just like you - and they deserve equal rights as well. I find this proposition to be discrimination against a minority. Now, if you want to bring the Bible into this... I can certainly back that one up too. In the Bible, it states, "Don't mix yolks with other yolks." This can be interpretted in many different ways (don't mix sex with other sex, don't mix race with other race, or even don't marry a non-christian.) NOW, listen to this - God wants his children to all have good hearts, judgement is sinning - aren't you judging Gays, by saying that they can't get married because they are Gay? Discrimination is wrong, and Judgment is a Sin.

Hi Lex! I'm so proud of you for getting involved in this election. Even though we don't agree, that's okay. That's what makes the world go 'round. :) Love, Auntie Kristen

Hi Lex, I admire your stand on this subject, but disagree as well. My being a Christian told me to vote yes. But don't misunderstand, I love Gay people, I just hate their sin.

Love, Grandpa
