They can move to the other states that allows it, we don't need anymore people moving to California. Which would happen if the yes vote won. Unless the majority of California voters smoked every drug on the planet & voted for Gavin Newsom for governor. The only reason he wants to be governor is to force gay marriage on this state. Governor is a harder job than mayor & Frisco people says he's the worst mayor ever. Worst friend also. And Arnold having a 3rd term would be better than Newsom as governor, & Arnold needs to go.
From what I've read about Newsom, I dont like the guy. That said, let me talk about the voting.
It's wrong to put people's rights up for a 51% majority vote. Nearly EVERY major civil rights advancement in American history, the majority was agenst when it passed.
The majority of Americans would have voted no for women rights when they got the right to vote.
The majority of Americans would have voted no to legalizing interracial marriage when it was made legal.
The majority of Americans would have voted no to letting blacks vote when it became legal.
California politics is messed up anyway. All these things pass on what 51% of the public thinks, but need 2/3 voting majority to over rule it.
