This past week, Mormon church leaders spoke via satellite to audiences in chapels in Utah and California about supporting Prop 8. Mormon Apostle M. Russell Ballard specifically appealed to the youth of the church to use high-tech means (text-messaging, etc.) to ensure its passage. A lot of non-Californian Mormons and their money have been pouring into the Golden State. Why the fervor? Let me lend you all some insight based on 35+ years of (hyper)active membership in the Mormon Church.
