Videos on Propositions

  • What do the groups who air these commercials hope to achieve by showing them?
  • What information do they convey to someone viewing them?
  • How do they convey this information?

How does being gay "erode marriage", or take away our right to free speech?!? I don't get the last one.

I was astonished by the number of vids on Prop. 8! It's such a controversial topic, and the final decision will have huge consequences. I didn't really get the Prop. 7 one; it was confusing and I didn't get what the guy was saying. @.@

And yeah, I agree with Soren.

omg why cant we just stop wasting all of our money on these stupid ads and keep California a free place for gay people to believe what they want to believe!

on the second video, those peeps didn't say anything about allowing gay marriage. they just said that its wrong to stop the rights of people marrying. whats up with that?

Hey Mr Yedid, you put up two videos up on YES on 8 are you becoming a hater now?

Louisa, I doubt that...he was like, super-enthusiastic last time when we were discussing Prop. 8. xD

the people who created these ads were obviously trying to convince others to vote how the people think you should. I find the ones saying yes to prop 8 surprising. I really don't understand how gay marriage would "erode religious freedom" considering churches and temples do not have to marry gay couples.

I appreciate your attempts to become unbiased.

i didn't think the no on 8 commercial was very good... nor was the yes on 7. they didn't make the other side look bad and were kinda blah.

I did not think they did a very good job on the no on 8 one.
