I am appalled by the federal appeals court decision to usurp the will of the people by striking down California's Proposition 8, which defines "marriage" as the union of one man and one woman. Californians spoke clearly at the ballot box that they do not want the institution of marriage tampered with. The ruling makes me feel ashamed to live where justice is determined by activist judges who operate not with gavels but with hammers and sickles.

Homosexual acts are abnormal. There is no gay gene. Same-sex marriage has a profoundly negative impact on the welfare of children. Social scientific research indicates that children thrive best with a mother and father who teach them gender identity and sex role expectations. This was the conclusion of a committee of the French National Assembly, which recommended in 2006 that France not accept same-sex marriage due to its detrimental effect on children.

We need a president who will work to ensure that our judges are guided by the will of the people as stated in the Constitution.
