I couldn't find a single organized webiste opposing the potential ballot measure, but this page from Equality California's site has information on their efforts and links to many other groups that offer ways to get involved.

Why do we have to make such a big fuss over these things? Why does Big Brother feel that he has a right to be involved in marriage in the first place? Marriage should be between the two parties that love each other and their maker (if desired). Period. End of story.

If I had things my way people could marry who they want, when they want, how they want, what they want, or how many they want. The Bible is my guidebook on this matter but it is not right to tell people how they should live from a religious sense.

I sometimes hear fudamentalist preachers say that if gay marriage is legal, then the inevitable slippery slope will begin, and there will be nothing to prevent people from marrying their own children, their livestock, and so on.

So, if I move to California, can I marry my cat? My Nintendo Wii? A corn dog?

Who cares? No one is killing themselves. You're not physically hurting anyone. You're not absconding with anyone's property. Therefore it should be legal.

I can think of good reasons why you shouldn't be allowed to (legally) marry your cat, wii, or corn dog.

But I can't think of any for why you shouldn't be able to marry your children (assuming they are of an age making consent possible).

So when the loving incestuous couples start clamoring for their right to marry, I'll support them too. If when they're legal you'd like to marry your son or daughter (or all of them; if you have them) then you have my support.

But I'm afraid when it comes to your corn dog you'll just have to live in sin.

Geez Alex; you're so closed minded!
