Hooray! Proposition 8 passed in all three states! Woohoo! I know that this was a little while ago but... we want to document all that occurred last year. David and I had a great time helping in all the efforts for proposition 8. We spent some Saturdays walking precincts and handing out fliers... but our favorite memory of our prop 8 efforts was when we went out and put up yard signs. It was a Sunday evening and we had just had dinner with the Reynders. Janet, Scott, Kate, David, and I all decided that we should go out and put up the 100 yard signs that David and I had in our trunk. So, we put together all the signs and headed off to place the signs along some major roads. While we were putting up signs we got nothing but positive feedback... people were honking horns and shouting out their windows, "Yes on 8!", but just as we were finishing up, an angry young boy drives by and shouts mean things at us. We didn't think much of it, we were done so we just hopped back in the car. As we were about to pull out back onto the main road, the boy sped up the side of us and cut us off and started shouting things at us. He had made an illegal U-turn to come and shout at us for putting up signs and told us that they would all be gone tomorrow. He then sped off, once he saw he wasn't going to get any response from us. We went back to the Reynders and shared what had happened and just laughed about the whole situation. It was a great experience to be a part of such a noble cause and to defend the true definition of marriage. We are glad that the voice of the people was heard on this issue.
