1. STATE OF UTAH
Of course not everyone in Utah supported Proposition 8, but Utahns gave at least $3.6 million in donations in support
of Proposition 8. Also 62% of Utah residents are Mormons. The Mormon Church told its members to commit time and
money to passing Proposition 8. Thousands of church members were Proposition 8 volunteers and gave tens of millions
of dollars to passing proposition 8. Ninety percent of the pro-Proposition 8 door knockers were Mormons. Nearly half of
the 40 million dollars given to pass Proposition 8 was given by Mormons.
Please call the Utah Tourism Board, and tell them you are canceling your trip to Utah and are Boycotting their state
due to the Mormon Church and Utah residents support for Prop 8, which ended marriage rights for same-sex couples.

Dear Cinemark,
I just wanted to let you know that because your CEO, Allan Stock, donated $9999 to support Prop 8, my extended family here in California have decided to boycott your theatres. We are encouraging our friends to do so, also.
Mr. Stock has the right to spend his money to support a hateful piece of legislation like Prop 8, which stripped gay citizens of California of their lawful right to marry as granted by the California Supreme Court -- and likewise, my family and our friends have the freedom not to spend our money at his company's theatres.
There's a Cinemark Theatre near my home, but there are a lot of other theatres nearby, too -- and their CEOs didn't give money to a hate-mongering, freedom-limiting political cause like Prop 8.
Sincerely yours,

I just wanted to let you know that because Lassens donated $27,500 to support Prop 8, my extended family here in California have decided to boycott your products. We are encouraging our friends to do so, also.
Lassen’s has the right to spend his money to support a hateful piece of legislation like Prop 8, which stripped gay citizens of California of their lawful right to marry as granted by the California Supreme Court -- and likewise, my family and our friends have the freedom
not to spend our money at your store.
Your products are easily available at your brick and mortar store or through the internet, but I can get the same products through other retailers that don’t give their money to a hate-mongering, freedom-limiting political cause like Prop 8.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
