Lisa Leff of SFChronicle/Gate did good piece on this yesterday. Spoke to Prentice, Kors,
Abbott too I think. They claim it is a legal campaign begging ploy, not extortion. Hopefully there will be some fall out from this. Note one commenter calls it Prop H8...
I like it!

Speaking of Jesus:
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - Gandhi

I just wanted to point out that this letter was not a routine fund raising letter sent out by staffers at the Yes On 8 group. It is signed by several high ranking members of the organization.
One of the signatories is Edward Dolejsi, who signs in his capacity as "Executive Director" of the California Catholic Conference. I think it is very important to note that the California Catholic Conference is not simply a right-wing Catholic hate group like the Catholic League. Rather, the California Catholic Conference bills itself as:
"A state Catholic Conference is a Church institution which represents the bishops (and their dioceses) and allows for the coordination of the concerns of the Church in state public policymaking.
The California Catholic Conference staff communicates the California bishops' public policy priorities to the members of the legislative and administration branches of state governments and works cooperatively with other religious and secular agencies."
http://www.cacatholic.org/about/about/about-the-california-catholic-conference.html
Therefore, I would query whether the California bishops want to disavow these practices. While I would hope that the Church leaders might want to be associated with the High Road, I am not holding my breath.

Maybe the Executive Committee of ProtectMarriage.com could declare a boycott of the Abbott Reality Group like The AFA. I'm sure it would utterly destroy Abbott Reality like the AFA's boycott destroyed Disney World, Proctor and Gamble, Kraft Foods, and the Ford Motor Company.
