Great links (familial ones and Internetial ones!)... yes I know I'm not funny, but it won't keep me from trying.

I came across several links that I know many of you would be interested in reading. 
A lot of people have questions about the involvement of the Church of Latter-Day Saint's in certain issues despite their standard of nonpolitical involvement.  In this case, the interest that the members of the church have taken in defining marriage to be between a man and a woman.  The Presidency of the Church regularly sends out letters reminding its members to vote and to actively participate in their community (including politics).  Not long ago the Church sent out a letter that urged members to support Proposition 8 showing how deeply important it was to not only the mormon relgion but also as a base in our society.  I just wanted to add my voice...  I too believe that it is important to a family to consist of Husband, Wife and Children. I also believe that the children and spouses in the family have the right to have a loving and stable environment.  I know that all families cannot be that perfect definition but there are so many fewer problems and need for outside interference/help when a family unit is loving and teaches gospel principles in their home.  I know that there are challenges in each of our lives and that it is both our privelege and responsibility to do our best to over come them.  I also know that God knew that times were coming that these things would be called into question and that he put into place everything that we needed to know years before they were needed. 

I also wanted to share this link to an interview done to answer questions on the Church's position.
