Saugus junior backs Measure SA
I am a junior attending Saugus High School. This past year, I have become especially interested in the politics of our country, state and city.
Vote no on Measure SA
There have been several sites proposed for a new Castaic high school. We now have a new proposed site that needs to be fully examined and pass many reviews by local and state agencies.
Not a civil rights issue
I am so appalled and tired of hearing that if we as a society do not accept gay marriage as normal, we are somehow racist.
Le Mesa student body backs Measure SA
The La Mesa Associated Student Body (ASB) class is proud to support Bond Measure SA. Measure SA will provide funds for schools for facility improvement and the construction of a Castaic high school. The bond measure is a wonderful idea that would benefit the entire district by continuing our tradition of top-notch facilities, enhancing our academic achievement. The money from the bond measure would help schools and wouldn't ruin anyone financially because it's approximately $25 ...
Christian love and common sense
What religion do Prop. 8 supporters adhere to that ignores the commandment to love they neighbor as thyself?
The election will be over; respect remains
Over the past two weeks, my family has been subjected to vile language, accusations, and threats as a result of our decision to post a "Yes on Prop. 8" sign in our yard.
How would Jesus vote?
At the start of World War II, my father was a young teenager going to a boy's boarding school.
Vote for equality in marriage
I don't know Nicole Pyburn of Castaic who wrote the Letter to the Editor on Oct. 24 ("Don't we Christians eat pork?") but I know she's my new hero.
Vote yes on Prop. 8
Since recorded history began, human society has used marriage as a means to create families which can procreate and protect and train the offspring.
Vote no on Prop. 8
I recently moved to the SCV from Oklahoma, and I was not sure what to expect out here on the left coast.
Would Prop. 8 change your marriage?
We at PFLAG do not have the money to run a full-page ad, but here are some things I would like you to know: Prop. 8 is simple. It changes the state Constitution, preventing marriage for gays.
Save the nation's moral traditions
The big question is: If the educators in their TV ads, mail, etc., are saying that a "yes" vote on Prop. 8 will not affect the schools, why are they spending more than $1 million in union dues to fight it?
God, not man, created marriage
What most people fail to take into consideration in the Prop. 8 debate is that it was God who initiated and defined marriage, not man.
Marital right is long overdue
The question is whether we as a society are going to radically redefine the institution of marriage. It's not about my personal marriage, but the effects on our children, nation, and future generations.
Be more modern
Why is it that people are always against gays? They do nothing to you at all. They are just like you and me and they just want to live their lives and be with the people they love.
