Sample Letter to Mail or E-mail to friends and family

Friends and Family,

Many of you are aware of the upcoming election in November, but may not be aware of proposition 8, the Amendment protecting marriage. Proposition 8 is simple and straightforward. It contains the same 14 words that were previously approved in 2000 by over 61% of California voters: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

Because four activist judges in San Francisco wrongly overturned the people’s vote, we need to pass this measure as a constitutional amendment to restore the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman. Voting YES on Proposition 8 does 3 simple things:

· It restores the definition of marriage to what the vast majority of California voters already approved and what Californians agree should be supported, not undermined.
· It overturns the outrageous decision of four activist Supreme Court judges who ignored the will of the people.
· It protects our children from being taught in public schools that “same-sex marriage” is the same as traditional marriage.

For those of you who believe in the institution of marriage between a man and a woman, you should investigate this for yourselves. If you believe in restoring marriage and protecting California Children, then go to this web site ( http://www.protectmarriage.com/) and learn more.

Be aware of the consequences and be prepared for the upcoming election. Send this to your friends and family who should learn more about this.

Thank you,
