Should churches begin to "openly campaign" for the Amendment to the State Constitution? Open means from the pulpit, buying TV ads and raising money from the offerings on Sunday. Should the church start to be political as they can be on this issue, or just let it be and focus on the ministry effort that will be coming down the road? San Diego Tribune
