An Act Of Grace
I was just sent an email from a friend with this message:
"Here is a video of a news conference given by the Mayor of San Diego, explaining his change of heart on the issue of gay marriage. A Republican mayor of a very Republican town, who campaigned and won office two years ago on a platform that included opposing gay marriage. And yet, when faced with a Moment of Truth, he could not bring himself to do the wrong thing. He looked deep within, found the light of wisdom, and he followed it. By doing so, he compromised his entire political future.
He did the right thing, for the right thing's sake, quite likely at the cost of future re-election.
Wow.
Bravo, sir. Bravo."
I know that there are many Republicans that oppose Prop 8, so that's not the focus of this post. Rather, I encourage you to watch this clip in it's entirety, just to
witness the power of change. This is an act of grace...

This is the most powerful argument that supports my decision to vote No on Prop 8.
