YES on Prop 102

 click on pic for link
Both Doug and I have been feeling very strongly about this . . . and I have been wanting to write about it for awhile now. My cousin sent me some information about some things that have been happening in California regarding Prop 8 (which is the same thing) - I forwarded the e-mail on to pretty much everyone.   I had several people respond back to me. Many people have said that they have had their signs stolen from their front yard repeatedly. One family had a car parked in front of their home with words on the car "BIGOTS LIVE HEAR" with an arrow pointed to their home. The gay couple that put it there were able to keep their car there for 72 hours - then they moved it. There have been picketers that stood outside the Temple with their signs - these are some of the pictures of them:

To end a good note - here was some uplifting examples of the Saints in California and what they are doing about it - I hope Tracey S. doesn't mind I posting this on my blog - but she e-mailed me these pics right after I sent the e-mail from my cousin - I loved the captions they wrote - after seeing so much negative - it was hopeful to see this and inspired me to do more:
FIGHTING FOR THE CAUSE..PROTECT OUR FAMILIES , OUR DEAR GRANDCHILDREN, AND GREAT GRANDCHILDREN.

NO WE DID NOT HAVE TO WALK THE PLAINS, WE JUST HAD TO STAND IN THIS GORGEOUS WEATHER AND STAND FOR TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS..(NOT SUCH A HARD JOB AFTERALL)...


WE WILL STAND AND DEFEND, EVEN IF WE GET BAD SIGNALS OF DISAPPROVAL

Also - I was sent this link on a good news article:

Well put.... Andi - I don't mind @ all. As a matter of fact I was going to use the pictures and blog about my parents myself. Just haven't gotten around to it.
