Republicans Against 8 have released one final ad before Tuesday’s vote that, if approved, would ban same-sex marriage in California, which has been legal since the summer. The ad goes back in time to 1978, when the Briggs Initiative threatened to ban gay teachers from teaching in schools. Ronald Reagan came out against Briggs. The ad then flash-forwards to the present when current Governor, and fellow Republican, Arnold Schwarzenegger came out against banning gay marriage:

If you know of people in California, please share this message with them.

*WWRRD stands for What Would Ronald Reagan Do?
