Rob Cockerham interviewed John Marcotte, a Sacramento man who filed a petition with the California Secretary of State to get a voter's initiative onto the 2010 ballot in California that would make it ban divorce.

RC: Are you going to hit the streets collecting signatures for the initiative?

John: We're going to set up a table in front of Wal*Mart and ask people to sign a petition to protect traditional marriage. We're going to interview them about why they thing traditional marriage is important, and then we'll tell them that we are trying to ban divorce. People who supported Prop 8 weren't trying to take rights away from gays, they just wanted to protect traditional marriage. That's why I'm confident that they will support this initiative, even though this time it will be their rights that are diminished. To not support it would be hypocritical. We're also going to collect signatures in front of "Faces," the largest gay nightclub in Sacramento.

2. On one condition...

Once we get this passed, I'm STILL divorced... got it?

3. I say they can simply state they are protecting traditional marriage and not even mention the

aim to ban divorce.

Why give people info that may make them reluctant to sign the petition? If it gets on the ballot, there will be enough media coverage to alert people to what the initiative actually does. The key NOW is to get it on the ballot.

4. i've often said that if we really wanted to protect marriage, then ban divorce.

i'd be interested to see the reactions of people who want to protect marriage. LOL! and how many of THEM are divorced. hehe.

5. Mother Teresa would support outlawing divorce

Except in the case of rich donors, e.g., Diana, Princess of Wales.
