A Christian on the frontlines of trying to protect traditional marriage in California says believers across the nation should be aware there will be consequences for them if Proposition 8 fails this Fall in her state.

Dr. Bridget Melson, a Christian family and marriage therapist, says there's already plenty of proof that sides have been drawn in the cultural battle for traditional marriage and family in her state, and Christians need to pick one.

She's incensed at Attorney General Jerry Brown's admitted role in changing the controversial ballot description to a negative one. But she was already burning with anger and reeling from surprise, at recent news of a 250-thousand dollar contribution to the opposition's "No on 8" campaign from public utility powerhouse Pacific Gas and Electric.

"This one shocked me... over anything ... and now we're up to over 1.3 million raised just here in Northern California against this proposition" says Melson.

Melson says residents don't have any choice about using gas & electricity service from the utility, but they do have a choice to express disagreement with the cooperative's joining a myriad of in and out of state sources and businesses, to fund the support of homosexual marriage advocates with public money.

She also warns Christians in other states to stay on top of their own cultural battle, before they face similar problems as California.

As Melson puts it, "People in other states who are just hanging out -- and I'm really just speaking to Christians, because there's nothing I can do about non-Christians and the gays, they've already kind of made up their mind -- they need to get involved, they need to be aware."
