Proposition 8 -- the link to Blackwater, crooked voting machines, and the Christian Taliban
Advertisements [?]
Max Blumental reports that the two biggest individual backers of Proposition 8 in CA are the mother of Blackwater founder Erik Prince and Howard Ahmanson.

We all know Blackwater, but Ahmanson has two claims to fame. He was the main financier of election machine company ES&S and he is also a raving Christian Reconstructionist, a member of the group that believes the country's laws should come from the bible, and that homosexuals, among others, should be executed.

Oddly enough, the reconstructionists would probably execute Mormons too, which makes it odd that the Mormons are joining forces with him.

Ahmanson is a billionaire and uses his money to support causes to limit personal freedom and establish a Christian theocracy in the US.

Proposition 8 is not just some goofy proposition from a group of evangelicals. With Blackwater and Ahmanson onboard, it's truly scary.
