LA Times Article on Prop 8

Looks like Latter-day Saints are making a real impact in support of Proposition 8 defending traditional marriage and family.  See link below in this update e-mail.

Toran,

Here is a good link to an LA Times article showing the financing and surveys of polls for the Prop. 8 bill. This is our Ladera Ranch 2nd ward holding signs every Wed. and Thurs. until the vote.

Subject: Another Great Prop 8 Sign Waving Event!
Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2008 19:50:01 -0700


Friends,

We had another great sign waving in support of Prop 8 tonight! We took some fun pictures - they are attached to this email. It was a great time. The reaction of people driving by has been almost entirely positive. It feels great to be out there helping this important effort. Thanks so much to all who came out and made it such a success again.

We will be having these sign waving events each Wednesday and Thursday from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm through the November 4th vote. We will be meeting at the same location - the South West corner of Crown Valley and Antonio (in front of the Mercantile West sign). We have a goal of 30 people per evening. Please come out and help us meet our goal. It is actually a lot of fun to be outside with friends from the ward, eating pizza and spreading the word about Prop 8. Of course, any nonmember friends who would like to join us are very welcome - the more the merrier!

No one from the "No on 8" campaign showed up tonight. I believe that they are taking it for granted that they are going to win. We need to prove them wrong. Our efforts are having a positive effect on the poles. We are definitely making a difference. Check out this article from the LA Times today that specifically mentions the Church's efforts as a big factor in changing the tide (thanks to Wayne Clark for the article):

REMINDER: Members of the ward will be receiving a call this week to ask whether or not you would like a yard sign. If you would like one, please let us know when we call and we will deliver them to you. For those who received yard signs last night after the Broadcast, it has been suggested that we remove the sign from our yards at night because they have been getting stolen. This is a good suggestion.

As always, if you have any questions, suggestions, or would like to help out in any way, please let me know.

Thanks,

Dana Larkin
