LDS Game Plan on Passing Proposition 8
August 20, 2008 by James Hipps
Daily Kos has posted a letter sent from Boyd K. Packer (president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) on July 28th to the California LDS (Mormon) stake (diocese) presidents.
Apparently, there is a plan in place to put up one million ‘Yes on 8′ yard signs at 7:00 am on September 22nd.
This letter makes clear that those walking their precincts on behalf of the ‘Yes on 8′ campaign are not doing so to persuade their neighbors, but rather to identify potential ‘Yes’ votes. As such, the precinct walking is clearly part of a standard get-out-the-vote operation, rather than an attempt to change hearts and minds.

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.
