YES on Prop. 8!

My dad and I have been faithfully campaigning by knocking on doors, hanging door hangers, and holding signs on busy street corners in support of proposition 8. Today was kind of an intense day for Prop. 8 campaigners. We had a show-down on the corners of San Benito and Fourth street in Hollister. We had people on the corners this morning and they were there for about 3 hours, but just as they were leaving the "No on 8" group started to show up. Everybody that had been there got called back, and anybody who could come and join got summoned. Within about 1/2 hour we had all four corners covered with people waving signs and and it felt good to be part of something you beleive in and know that you are making a difference. As supporters of "no on 8" drove by they flipped us off and yelled obscenities. The "yes on 8" supporters honked to show their support, but did nothing to the "no on 8" group. That to me, is a clear reflection of the type of people that support gay marriage; angry, self-absorbed, and hypocritical. They can't peacfully and properly support their cause, they have to push their objective by lying, malicious conduct, and yelling obscenities. They are the tolerant ones and we are the angry ones? Really!? We aren't the ones maliciously stealing yard signs and retaliating. Not that I want them to have any support, but maybe they would be more effective if they held their signs the right way. I gave Cassie and Seth some signs to hold out the window as we drove and honked several times through the intersection. After we did that for a while Seth and Javier went home, while Cassie stayed with me and held signs on the curb. I know they don't understand the issue, and I wouldn't want them to at their age, but someday they will see the pictures and hopefully feel proud that they were out there with me. I will be happy when this is over with and we have won again. Hopefully this time it will last for a longer period of time than when we passed Prop 22.
