Democratic Party Opposed to Prop 8?

Take what you will from the article below. The 2008 Democratic Party Platform states "We oppose the Defense of Marriage Act and all attempts to use this issue to divide us." I don't know if this means that the Democratic Party's official position is to support SSM, but it certainly is a step in the wrong direction.

The Democratic National Committee is actively working to foil the campaign to ban same-sex "marriage" in California.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) contributed $25,000 on February 28 to Equality for All for the purpose of opposing the proposed California marriage protection amendment known as Proposition 8. Equality for All is a homosexual group that pledges to defeat Prop 8 "one voter at a time." According to the group, "a loss in November will dramatically slow, if not halt, progress toward full equality for LGBT Americans."

It's disappointing to learn of fellow Americans who would stoop to peddling lies to support their position. Google "Six Consequences if Proposition 8 Fails" ... these are six totally false talking points that the "Yes on 8" campaign is trying to use to fire up their target voters. Anyone who bothers to study the issue will quickly learn that these six "consequences" are total fabrications and sad examples of ugly fearmongering from the "Yes on 8" campaign. Shame.
