Repeal Prop 8: Restore marriage equality to California

Sign the pledge to build the Marriage Equality Movement

The birth of a new Marriage Equality Movement -- the civil rights movement of the 21st Century -- is unfolding before our eyes.

Movements are visceral and popular, often borne of outrage and anger. What we are witnessing on the streets and online is a community of people who have come together to say: "These are our lives. This is our time. This is unacceptable." Organized from the bottom-up by thousands of ordinary people just like you, this people-powered phenomenon is exponentially growing by the minute, online and offline.

This is our moment to stand strong together -- gay and straight -- and say that we refuse to accept a California where discrimination is enshrined in our state constitution. Please show your support by pledging to support our campaign to repeal Prop 8 and restore marriage equality to California.

NO on Prop 8 Campaign Leaders Call on Community to Stand Together

Top leaders from the NO on Prop 8 campaign today issued the following statement urging leaders in the community to stand together following the passage of Prop 8.

“This has been an incredibly difficult week for Californians who are disappointed in the passage of Proposition 8, which takes away the right to marry for same-sex couples in our state. We feel a profound sense of disappointment in this defeat, but know that in order to move forward we must continue to stand together as one community in order to secure full equality in California.

“In working to defeat Prop 8, a profound coalition banded together to fight for equality. Faith leaders, labor, teachers, civil rights leaders and communities of color, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, public officials, local school boards and city councils, parents, corporate law firms and bar associations, businesses, and people from all walks of life joined together to stand up against discrimination. We must build on this coalition in order to achieve equal rights for all Californians.

“We achieve nothing if we isolate the people who did not stand with us in this fight. We only further divide our state if we attempt to blame people of faith, African American voters, rural communities and others for this loss. We know people of all faiths, races and backgrounds stand with us in our fight to end discrimination, and will continue to do so. Now more than ever it is critical that we work together and respect our differences that make us a diverse and unique society. Only with that understanding will we achieve justice and equality for all.”

The Road to Enlightenment

Steven Hairfield didn't wait for his graduation ceremony. Although he knew he had graduated, he couldn't wait to leave his home life and go to Vietnam where he became an explosives expert. Juxtaposed to the madness of war, which he describes as being 'hectic', he found peace within a local Zen Buddhist monastery in Quang Ngai. The monks began to insist that he should learn of Issa. He then learned that Issa was in fact, Jesus. He later learned that Issa had spent much time in what is now known today as India, Pakistan, Ladak, Nepal, and Tibet before returning to the Middle East to carry out His mission.

This lead to a lifetime of discovery and self knowing, finding his Tibetan Master teachers in India, returning to America to receive a B.A. in Psychology, then an M.A. in Religion and Theology, becoming quite interested and fascinated by the field of Metaphysics in the process.

He has recently released his best work of all “A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible”. This book answers the mysteries of the Bible and the Master Himself. It is based on 37 years of thorough research that led him all over the world.

Dr. Hairfield continues his writing, counseling, his lecture and workshop tours, and has even released two CD’s the first is the “Seven Essene Mirrors of Relationship” and

“The Power of Thought”. There are also many of his seminars that are available as downloads from his web site. He resides in Reno, Nevada in the high Sierra Mountains.
