My neighbor noticed my sign was missing one morning. We usually put it away at night, but Sunday night we didn't. I have another sign up now, but I couldn't believe someone came on my property to take something that didn't belong to them! The 100 hour countdown has started. We've been asked to give all we can at this point and hold nothing back (this was said by Elders Ballard and Cook). I have 60 people left on my list to call. On Saturday our family will go out and hand out voting reminders to as many people as we can. LDS lawyers throughout California will be monitoring polling stations. Groups are holding signs on corners every day. Hundreds of people who are not afraid to stand up for their beliefs are fighting pretty hard and giving a lot. I can't explain the feelings I have as the election draws near. The consequences of the presidential election are nothing compared to the repercussions of Prop 8 not passing. I read 3rd Nephi last night to remind myself that the evils of our day were seen a long time ago. The part I like is that no matter what happens on Tuesday and in the future the good side still wins in the end. Please remember us in your prayers and ask that all those who support Prop 8 feel the need to vote on Tuesday.
Here's an article entitled "Stoning Mormons for standing up for their values by funding Prop. 8" that helps me to know that the injustices are seen by others.

I'm sure you are doing so much good. California is glad your family is there. It really is signs of the times, huh? It has been quite a ride living in a battleground state, as I'm sure you can attest. I hope things go in the right direction!
Our sign was taken off our car sometime yesterday. I'm just glad there wasn't any damage done to the car. I had another in my purse and put it right back. We went last night and stood on the corner (at 5 p.m.) and helped hold up some signs (had to leave because of Sam and TRAFFIC). Our stake is fasting Monday - that people might feel the need to vote FOR marriage. THANK YOU for all you have done. I know you think it's minimal... but IT IS NOT!
You guys are awesome Sara (and Carole)....part of me is glad I'm not in CA anymore to have to deal with this. I will be praying for you though.
Way to go girl! What a great example for your children to see. It is surely helping to strengthen them for their futures as well! Our prayers are with you as well!
