Ellen Degeneres has a proposition for California. In this just-released PSA, the talk-show host asks—really, she says "please" more than once—California voters to reject Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment that would eliminate same-sex marriage in the state. The state Supreme Court overturned a ban on such unions earlier this year, which allowed Degeneres to celebrate her own nuptials with actress Portia de Rossi. You can read more about the measure here.
