Barack Obama, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Dianne Feinstein star in a brand-new ad from the NO on Prop 8 campaign.
From the NO campaign:
Hours after the Proposition 8 campaign admitted it had mailed a flyer to African-American voters that lies about Sen. Barack Obama’s position on the initiative, the NO on 8 Campaign launched a statewide television ad reminding voters that Sen. Obama, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, as well as the state’s leading newspapers, have all called for the defeat of Proposition 8.
Using the words each of these leaders has used to describe the unfair initiative, the new ad makes clear that Sen. Obama has called Prop 8 "divisive and discriminatory," that Gov. Schwarzenegger has said "it should never happen," and Sen. Feinstein closes by telling voters: "No matter how you feel about marriage, vote against discrimination, and Vote NO on 8."In response to the mailer received by African-American Californians that misrepresented the position of Sen. Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, the Obama campaign released the following statement last night:
"The Obama-Biden ticket opposes Proposition 8 and similar discriminatory constitutional amendments that could roll back the civil rights he and Sen. Biden strongly believe should be afforded to all Americans."
Can you please help with a donation today to keep this new ad on the air through Election Day?
Thank you!
And, Californians?! Can you volunteer to GOTV between now and Election Day? We need your help!

Now the GOP is lying about Dems like Obama saying we don’t support Gay Rights?
I am so confused? Just how desperate are they? Have they no sense of Decency? Desperation is so unappealing.
All the Prop 8 people have is lies and hate.
Hope & love are on our side.
Dugg, thanks Teddy.
The LA Times has an editorial saying vote NO on 8 – they call out the lies in the ads, in particular, as well as the discriminatory nature of the proposition.
The mayor of San Diego has come out against it, too.
Thanks, Teddy!
