STOP STEALING MY SIGN!!!!


I am Yes for Prop 8. No matter how many times you steal my sign, or vandalize it, I will still be yes on 8. Replacing my beautiful yellow sign with your No on 8 sign will not change my mind. Nor will it change the minds of any of my neighbors who you have targeted also. Tiptoeing up to my front door, going behind my planters where I have stored my signs for the night, to steal them will NOT CHANGE MY MIND!!! It is stealing. They are my property, not yours. Did your mom ever teach you not to steal?

You are asking for tolerance. Are you so blinded that you can't see that you are not being honest, true, or tolerant? You are denying my rights to freedom of speech. Are you so afraid of what I might have to say?

It is unclear to me how you could possibly think bullying is OK. That is what you are doing. I do not like it. You are not playing fair.

I want my kids to grow up in a world where a religious ceremony has significance. Real significance. It is different. I want to give them the same world that I had. One where we can be free to speak our minds, vote our conscious, and declare war on evil. One where we can choose what is taught to our impressionable young children. One where parents are not arrested for refusing to allow their kids to be taught about homosexuality in early elementary school. Isn't that what America is based on? FREEDOM?

You can't squash me, or my opinion.

My pretty little yellow Yes on 8 sign has already been replaced.

They have been stealing our signs as well. Tanner was extremly upset and wanted to know who would protect the family now that the sign was not in our front yard...very cute.

THIS IS AWESOME!!! I want everyone I know to read it, and especially OUR sign stealers! We're on our fourth sign. Incredible isnt it? I LOVE what you wrote.

yeah, i was getting so annoyed with all the signs being taken that I greased the perimeter of my sign with Crisco-lol. One of our friends actually caught two 14 year old girls stealing her signs. She called the cops while following them to the park. They were shaking in their shoes when the police showed up & then when the police took them home to their parents. I totally agree with you-tolerance & equality are a two way street.leave our signs alone!
