Proposition 8

An Update: I just saw this on youtube and thought I should share the reality of the days events and not the OC Register's skewed idea of what they think occured. And this was just Laguna Beach to Dana Point!



Just a few thoughts about Prop 8. For those not in the know, it is the proposition to amend the state constitution that marriage be between a man and a woman. We have been asked by church leaders to support and give our best efforts to promote the cause of the family. Mary has been working writing letters to undecided voters, and both of us have spent time waving signs for the cause. It's a strange thing to be in the midst of all this. Yesterday we motivated to get sign wavers on Pacific Coast highway from Huntington Beach to San Clemente at all the makor intersections. We were assigned for noon to 1:00. There were so many supporters out waving signs at all the corners, and very few opponents from what we saw. There were lots of supporters driving by with waves and thimbs up and much honking. There was also the occasional one finger salute, and obscenity shouted out the window. The beautiful thing was that whenever someone was mean or crude they were met with a polite wave and even an ocasional "We still love you". It was good to be out with the members of the ward taking a stand for something we believe in. There is much more to do this week before the election day. We hope you keep us all inyour prayers and thoughts as we march forward in this endeavor. "Blessed art though Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word, which I have given thee, unto this people. And thou hast not sought thine own life, but thou hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments.: (Helaman 10:4)
