this should actually be called the scourge campaign. being someone with an "ug" & advanced degree from u.c. berkeley and having a complete ambivalance toward religion of any kind, it would be difficult for anyone to label me a conservative by any stretch. yet i am repulsed by what i see from the no on 8 activists. i want to address those no on 8 citizens who populate disturbing sites such as these. STOP IT! STOP IT NOW!!! it is time to face the facts. the election is over and 8 lost...again. these frightening attacks against the mormon church are disgusting. i heard so much of this racism during the campaign & had hoped that it was just silly mindless fervor from passionate supporters. sadly, this was not the case and the attacks have gotten uglier. signs outside the la mormon temple like "u have 2 wives i want 1 husband," "joseph smith was a pedophile," etc. are fascist, racist, and have no place in our society. those who say they are not attacking the religion are on serious hallucinogens and need to look themselves in the mirror. this is not nazi germany, and what you are doing and saying should disturb every jew, christian, muslim, and secular american. ignorant, under-educated, violent idiots do not help any cause, let alone one whose supporters claim is one of justice and tolerance. STOP IT! STOP IT NOW!!!

I have 5 adult children and 9 grandchildren. I want to let them know that ALL people are equal in God's eyes. That includes Blacks, who could not hold the priesthood when I was young and now Gays, who for years were disowned by their familes and made to feel unworthy and sinful. I sstand up now and ask others, who were brought up LDS,to STOP and think, with the brain and heartthat God gave you, and take a good look at your CTR ring and Choose the Right!
I have been one for 60 years!
If you do not know the facts and you need to read up on church history. I have many relatives who have been sealed in the temple to several wives! I have been to the Temple, myself. If I were to die my husband can mary AGAIN and be sealed to another wife. My grandfather had 17 brothers and 10 sisters and had to move to Mexico to flee from the law. Those marriages are still valid on the church records.
So yes! Mormon still do have more than one wife....which is not a marriage between a MAN and a WOMAN. As a past Primary President, I would ask you to take a good look at your CTR ring and "Choose the RIght"!!!!!
