Prop 8 Street Walk

I am so grateful that I live in a country where we have the right to express our opinions and fight for the things we believe in. Many of you may or may not know about what is going on with Proposition 8 here in California. For all the details you can go to http://www.protectmarriage.com/. In regards to us locally Brian was asked to be the zip code coordinator for 95367, all of Riverbank. We have been working for the past 2 1/2 months putting together routes and coordinating walks for polling, going through over 5,000 names of registered voters, making calls, inputting data, organizing rallies and more. We have had some wonderful help from many great people, but some of my favorite volunteers helped on this last demonstration.

Thursday we stood on the corner of a busy intersection in our town, making people aware and showing support for Yes on 8. My favorite part, and I think the most effective part of this volunteer group was the kids!!! Jade and Cambrie had a play practice so they could not be there, but Brian, myself, Hailey and Colby were out on the corner along with many of our friends and their families!! We got lots of good honks and thumbs up in support. Only a few opposing which is to be expected. Hailey loved dancing around running up and down the sidewalk, hooting and hollering and holding her sign. She was a great little cheerleader! Colby was pretty good in the backpack for awhile, but then he wanted to take part as well. So we gave him a sign and put him to work too! It actually felt really good to be out there as a family supporting something that we believe so strongly in! I was so happy to see such a great turn out of families in support of this action!

We are doing it again on Monday at 4:30pm at the corner by KFC in Riverbank, and would love anyone to join us!! Don't Forget To Vote!!! YES ON 8!!!
