iProtectMarriage.com Targets the Youth Vote With Facts About California's
Proposition 8 Campaign

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tapping into a surge of
interest in the fall election among young voters, Prop 8 supporters including
campaign organizers, a coalition of pastors, youth experts and leaders have
launched iProtectMarriage.com, a new website designed to educate and motivate
young people about Proposition 8.

Proposition 8 is the California ballot measure that will change the state
Constitution to read "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or
recognized in California."

iProtectMarriage.com targets teenagers and young adults both from secular and
faith backgrounds, from Christian to Jewish, Mormon to Muslim.

Miles McPherson, one of Prop 8's proponents and senior pastor of the Rock
Church in San Diego, says the site aims to reach out to all young voters,
especially those who support same-sex marriage for the wrong reasons.
"Right now they're driven by the wrong information and a lot of emotion," said
McPherson, a former NFL player with the San Diego Chargers. "They'll say, 'I
don't want to be called a bigot. I don't want to discriminate,'" said
McPherson

In an innovative "Decide for Yourself" feature, iProtectMarriage.com uses an
interactive video quiz that addresses key issues surrounding the Prop. 8
amendment.

Making it clear that the campaign is not against anyone, the site challenges
its users with information in key areas: civil rights, kids, churches,
education, public health, faith and society, showing that Prop 8 is about much
more than marriage alone. It shows young people how they can take action for
Proposition 8.

Working in partnership with the statewide Protect Marriage movement
(protectmarriage.com), iProtectMarriage.com also directs users to a MySpace,
Facebook and Twitter, encouraging young people to register to vote, get
informed about Proposition 8, tell their friends and vote Yes on 8 on Nov. 4.
