It's my right

Many times, a person's opinion about a particular subject can be shaped or changed when the issue hits close to home. In an effort to put a more personal spin on an upcoming California ballot initiative, you should know that support of Proposition 8 would directly hurt several people in your own community.

I'm one of those people, the neighbor who has worked hard and given my own time and money to help keep you and your families safe, to make our community a better and safer place to live.

Proposition 8 would take away my fundamental civil rights and would legitimize discrimination in the California constitution.

I believe that everyone in the Alden Park area should be treated with dignity and respect and that each of us should be afforded the same civil rights, regardless of age, gender, faith, race, or political belief. Don't you?

I also feel that because of this, it is my duty to urge you to vote NO on Prop. 8.

As the volunteer who created and maintains this website, it is my right to do so on this blog. Some of you may not agree. Deal with it.
