We want a ban on churches fnding Propositions! It’s called separation of Church and State. CLEARLY the Mormons have (once again) broken the law.

These are the people who think Jesus told them they could marry 38 women and little girls (Joseph Smith) and that their Magical Underwear will protect them from harm.

The separation exists for good reasons. Charges are filed. Suits pend. And the religious people of the world will reap what they have sewn.

churches hold a different type of tax bracket than a non-profit… so the rules are different on how/what they can “preach from the pulpit”

My church went on record as opposing Prop 8; I don’t know if church funds went to actually fighting the measure so I’m not sure if I want a ban on church funding for propositions but it probably wouldn’t be a bad thing if all non-profits were banned from working on propositions and ballot measures

If people made tax deductable contributions to their churches who in turn used that money to fund the Yes on 8 campaign, the churches must be held accountable.

Can delay the ban until “hell freezes over” as far as I am concerned.

It took forever to get gay marriage legalized, so why the unseemly rush by the clerks to get the ban rammed down gay couples’ throats?

Shouldn’t the ban be stayed until the Supreme Court decides on the matter – you know, like what the pro Prop 8 people wanted regarding the allowance of gay marriages before the vote occurred to possibly ban it? Why aren’t those same people arguing something like that now? Because it’s not in their favor about something?..
