Hardly Courageous Campaigning
The anti-Mormon prop 8 ad that CC recently brought to California airwaves was not only ignorantly malicious, but also blatant slander against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. As a concerned Californian voter, I am extremely displeased to know that on election day, I unknowingly found your site and used your voter guide to help me with my decisions regarding my votes. Having not needed any influence or lobbying to decide at a NO vote on my own, I thought your site to be non-bias place to find contemporary policital information. However it has since come to my attention that your organization was behind the dispicable anti-YES on 8 ad that wrongfully portrays Mormon missionaries and the church as an entire organization. Having served a mission for the church myself in Paraguay, South America, I can affirm to you and your organization that I never once engaged in any acts as this, nor were those ever my intentions. The church never instructed me or those I served with to ever think or perform anything even remotely close to what is shown in your ad. Having close gay friends, I stood in support of their marriage in June as a groomsman out of friendship and love. Your ad and obviously biased political views not only offend me as an INFORMED voter and Californian, but will serve as motivation to disuade any that I can to view and or subscribe to your site for "courageous" political aide. With due respect, there is absolutely nothing "courageous" or "progressive" about erroneously defaming one group or organization through malicious means to generate support or lobby for another. Futhermore, should the LDS church, or any organization seek to raise funds and submit them for lobbying efforts, then they are allowed that right under federal law. This action makes no one subject to ridicule or attacks as your ad does in both forms. To that end, I fully intend to withdraw any interest or support I had ever given to your site/campaign and plan on informing family, friends, co-workers, and bloggers of your tactics in attempting to bring along "a new era to California." My only hope is that they can see through your organizations' lies and deception as clearly as I have.
