LOS ANGELES, CA, Mar 3 (LSN.ca) - A ballot proposition in California in support of traditional marriage cannot be supported legally by churches. WorldNetDaily reports today that several churches on California’s central coast have been told by their county tax assessor’s office they are breaking the law by displaying pro-Proposition 22 signs on church property. The Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) condemned this ruling, telling churches that “it’s time [they] know their rights ... the intimidation has gone too far.” PJI President Brad Dacus said, “the Internal Revenue Code states that churches are not forbidden to participate in propositions, provided that less than five percent of their total financial and labor resources go into the process.” To be voted on this Tuesday, Proposition 22, also known as the “Defense of Marriage Act,” consists of 14 words: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” The initiative has received nationwide attention and has already been adopted in 31 states.
