Something I strongly believe in! I feel that as a parent, it is my right to teach my children the values & morals that i believe in! I don't want to the state dictating & mandating what my children should learn & think is right.
I love living in America! i love that our family can put a YES on Prop 8 sign up in our yard & that my neighbors across the street can put their no on prop 8 sign in their yard. Do you know what?? We still like & respect each other. Our family returned home from our Trunk or Treat party to find our YES on 8 sign totally ripped & ruined this evening. The only reason they weren't able to take the whole sign is becasue i had greased the edges with Crisco-LOL! Nobody is going to steal my sign :).
Our neighbor across the street caught two girls, on their bikes going from house to house, taking signs. When my neighbor confronted them, they looked @ him & told him it was none of his business. He told them that it was his business because they were infringing on our rights & were ruining something that was not theirs... but ours. The 14 year old girls looked at my neighbor & told him again to mind his own business. Our neighbor said he could not believe the disrespect he received from these young girls. This is why we live in America...we enjoy the freedom to choose for ourselves. We have the right to choose for ourselves just as our neighbor chooses for him/herself. It just makes me upset that others can't be tolerant of others beliefs & choices. Tolerance is a TWO way street.
A destroyed sign or not, I proudly say YES on PROP 8.
Don't forget to vote on Tuesday!
p.s. my new YES on PROP 8 sign is already up in my yard.

Not to mention the cost of the signs- I saw on the news that they run 2.00 each.
Adorable picture of your boys....

I'm so glad your neighbor said something to those girls (not that is sound like it had an effect). Maybe he should have told them it's a felony & reported them to the police- maybe that would have had an effect. Anyway, here in AZ, we have Prop 102- a "yes" for marriage amendment- on the ballot. About two weeks ago, everyone in our neighborhood woke up to find the signs spray painted. So sad. I totally agree w/ you. If you don't agree w/ my view, put up your own sign, don't destroy mine. I find it ironic that tolerance only applies to views that completely agree your own these days!
Sorry to hear about the sign but its great that we do live in America and have that right to choose along with our beliefs. Go neighbor.
Good for you Raimi!
