The sponsors of a ballot initiative that would make same-sex marriage illegal in California are using quotes by Barack Obama to drum up support for Proposition 8, even though Obama opposes the measure.
A mailer sent out by the ProtectMarriage.com coalition this week features a large picture of Obama. The mailer also presents statements the Illinois senator has made indicating that as a Christian he personally thinks marriage should be limited to a woman and man.
The campaign to defeat Prop. 8 denounced the mailers as a "dirty trick," and released a new statement from the Obama campaign reiterating that while he favors civil unions for gay couples, he thinks the measure is discriminatory.
