Bill Clinton Gets
on the Phone to California Voters

If you live in California, former president Bill Clinton may be giving you a ring.

The 42nd president's voice can be heard on robocalls made to California voters urging them to vote no on Proposition 8: "This is Bill Clinton calling to ask you to vote 'no' on Proposition 8 on Tuesday, November 4th. Proposition 8 would use state law to single out one group of Californians to be treated differently -- discriminating against members of our family, our friends, and our coworkers.

"If I know one thing about California, I know that is not what you're about. That is not what America is about. Please vote 'no' on 8. It's unfair and it's wrong. Thank you."

Millions of California voters heard the message on Thursday night. (Neal Broverman, The Advocate)
