The Mormon Church Responds to Same-Sex Ballot Issues

A recent anti-Prop 8 television ad (since pulled from Youtube) vilified the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by portraying faux missionaries as home-invasion robbers. A group called "Courage Campaign Issues Committee" created the ad, which can be seen here.

The legitimate No on 8 campaign has not disavowed the ad to date.

You can read the Church's response here.

I think this helped our campaign. Any intelligent voter should have recognized the ad as a desperate, spiteful attempt to gain votes. Kudos to the church for taking the high road.

Did you hear the news about the anti-mormon rally in Santa Monica today? I couldn't help but think of Missouri.
