It's down

Fox 11 had protests as their 3rd story. Showed the protests in LA and briefly showed the one at Saddleback. You can see my [hot pink] sign from afar and they interviewed "baby food guy". They showed some interviewers with actual protesters in the LA area.

Too cool, you guys.

I've refrained from saying much on this subject, but not out of disinterest. Truth be told, I'm pretty damned angry. As some of you know, I have a relative by marriage who is Mormon and I've had to put up with some (a lot) of Mormon related stupidity over the years. I am just so over their superior 'we're gonna be Gods someday, and you're not!' mentality and it's been very tiresome, but this goes beyond the pale. They need to pay for mixing their religion with politics- and money is the only language they understand. (They believe that earthly riches indicate heavenly favor). I sincerely hope the IRS does go after them, along with the Catholic church and any other church who wants to play this sort of game. I have no problem with other's beliefs, but when they seek to legislate from the pulpit and hurt people I care about, it makes them the enemy and I will do whatever I can to defeat them in their aims.

So apparently I was on the KNBC news. But I turned it off cause some stupid Dateline episode was on until waaaaay late. Of course I tried to find it on the interwebs and can't.

Saw our protest on KABC7.

BTW: it was 300 people. Not near 600 but still a good size crowd.

In that video, at 3:10 in they are talking about the Saddleback protest. The camera zooms out, guess whose gray Mazda 3 that is waiting to turn left to park?

And here's the earlier report where you can clearly see BtD and CP's "Intolerance is Immoral" sign.

Sooo... is tomorrow the first protest-free day since the passage of 8, or is the barrage of a protest a day going to (delightfully) continue?

You realize that LoT has been represented at some kind of protest every day thus far.

I wanted to drop by and post some encouragement for y'all. Keep fighting for what you believe in. Don't ever give up. You may not win this round but if it means that much to you don't every give up. Even the smallest voice can have a huge impact. All you have to do is stand up and let your voice be heard. While i disagree with both sides on this matter I have the utmost amount of respect for each of you fighting your principles and your cause. Thumbs up to each of you. I'm proud of y'all!!

I love all the pictures.

I get so happy inside and teary-eyed on the outside seeing pictures of my friends standing up for something so important.

More than that, I noticed that with my semi sorta randy sign that I was holding on Saturday, it takes courage to protest knowing that all eyes are on you and your fellow protesters. I know that as someone who can be kinda anxiety-riddled in crowds, it takes a lot out of me (you know, someone who chooses to express himself a lot on a discussion board, in writing and who is clumsy in face-to-face debates) to go out in public and voice myself. I'm glad there are people out there who are leaving their comfort zones behind and speaking up.

Brad, I know how you feel. We're on different sides of the cosmos on the issues but we have both done the same thing during this cycle. If you told me a year and a half ago I'd be standing outside in the cold waving sings for a political candidate I would have said "You must be out of you mind!" It was something well out of my comfort zone. However I will admit you showed more courage than I did by default. You can actually see the reactions of people driving and walking by. I can't. I didn't know even half of the reaction I got until being briefed after wards. While I got thumbs up and horn honks I also got plenty of middle fingers. I had a feeling I would but I did it anyway because I needed to stand up for what I believed in the the candidate I believed in. You made the same decision Brad and for that I am proud of you!
