    Californians on Nov. 4 will vote on Proposition 8, which if passed, would amend the state's constitution to define legal marriage as between a man and a woman.
    The LDS Church in a statement this summer urged members to support the ballot measure; the church since has encouraged active campaigning by members in California and until this week, Californians living in Utah and other states.
    Californians Against Hate, a group opposed to Proposition 8, claims that 59,000 Mormons have contributed more than $19.15 million to the Yes on 8 campaign.
