Photo Album: Citizens protest county clerk's abuse of power

Woodland, CA -- Dozens of men, women and children stood up for marriage and good government on Valentine's Day as homosexual activists demanded and got "certificates of inequality" issued by homosexual-marriage advocate Freddie Oakley, the county clerk for Yolo County. After San Francisco in 2004, this was the worst California county's attack on marriage between a man and a woman yet.

Campaign for Children and Families commends these citizens for being a voice of truth to millions of people through TV, radio and newspaper coverage. Despite the biased media coverage, which tried to paint Oakley as a hero and the well-trained homosexual activists as victims, the pro-family citizens stood tall.

Dozens of concerned citizens stand united in Woodland, California to protest the gay-marriage-supporting certificates of Yolo County Clerk Freddie Oakley, an outrageous abuse of power.	The county building's courtyard was a media hot spot, with every Sacramento news outlet in attendance. Some biased reporters grilled pro-family citizens, but gave softball questions to gay activists.
A pro-family grandmother tells a TV reporter that marriage between a man and a woman is state law and that Oakley doesn't have the right to mock marriage while on duty.	TV and newspaper photographers zeroed in on this husband and wife, who stood proudly with other citizens to send a clear message to Oakley: "Just follow the rules!"
“I issue this Certificate of Inequality to you because your choice of marriage partner displeases some people whose displeasure is, apparently, more important than principles of equality.” See Oakley's entire certificate.	Flamboyant lesbians: After parading through Oakley's office to pick up their "Certificates of Inequality," a group of lesbians put on a visual show by kissing for TV and newspaper photographers.
Woodland voter Ed Hernandez spoke to Univision TV. "Since Freddie isn't interested in sticking to her job description, it's time for her to leave or be removed by voters."	Civil rights activist Craig DeLuz MC'd and spoke at the citizen news conference, in addition to talking to several television news crews including KCRA Channel 3.
Allan Clemensen, a Yolo County father and president of American Liberty Alliance, was the leading media voice against the Yolo County clerk using her office to attack marriage. Here, CBS 13 covered the issue live on the noon news.	In 2000, 61.4% of California voters passed Prop. 22, the law that Freddie Oakley despises. It states "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." The liberal California Supreme Court may overturn this law by 2008. Learn more here.
