On Tuesday, angry over the extraordinary amount of money the CourageCampaign.jpgUtah-based Mormon Church has given to Prop 8, the ballot initiative that would "eliminate right of same-sex couples to marry," Rick Jacobs, chair of the
Courage Campaign Issues Committee, and the Rev. Eric Lee, President of the California Chapters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, went to the Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Westwood, California to deliver a petition asking the church to stop interfering in a California election.

As of Friday, the Mormon Church had contributed $10,532,607.58 according to Mormonsfor8.com.
