While Miss California candidate Carrie Prejean does damage control over the comments she made about gay marriage during last week's Miss USA pageant, Shanna Moakler, Miss USA herself, has branched off and initiated an anti-proposition 8 ad campaign.  
  
According to Fox News, Moakler, along with co-executive state pageant director Keith Lewis, Miss California and Miss USA 2006 first runner-up Tamiko Nash and last year's Miss California Raquel Beezley, are all working together in North Hollywood to shoot a NO H8 Campaign in the hope of raising awareness regarding gay marriage and overturning California's Proposition 8.  
  
"It's important for us right now to participate in this, especially given the conversation surrounding Miss California. We're here showing we're a family, we agree to disagree and support our beliefs," Lewis told Fox News's Pop Tarts, as Moakler nodded in agreement from her makeup chair.  
  
The team, however, is unsure they want Prejean a part of this project.  
  
"We are working through it; we're a family in resolution. We really want to give Carrie an opportunity to express her beliefs . . . so as soon as Carrie is done explaining \[them\] we really look forward to her coming back to our platform," Lewis said.
