[Proposition-8]
mormonsfor8.com goes up connecting donor names to LDS membership. Mormons accounted for not quite 2% of California's population, yet are credited with raising more than half of the $32+ million donations to protectmarriage. Similar to the "grass roots" response to Virginia's battle over extending the ratification deadline for the ERA: Mormons made up 0.5% of the state's population, yet accounted for 85% of the anti-ERA letters to state legislators.
