A dozen HRC San Diego Steering Committee members joined more than 100 other volunteers in San Diego last week to call voters and urge them to vote no on California Proposition 8, which would ban marriages between gay and lesbian couples.

The message: The hundreds of volunteers who make up the No on Prop 8 campaign field team have shared their light with the rest of the country, but the work is far from done ... All of our candles must continue to burn bright until Election Day!
