Prop 8 Jewels

For those of you fair readers who are interested in the progress of prop 8 - I have some jewels to share. As you may be aware, the young single adults in California have been issued a responsibility by the first presidency to reach 1 million voters by election day. Each ysa is to call for at least an hour on the phones each day. I have been blessed to be a part of this challenge and have had the added responsibility to lead some of the ward members in this goal.

Below are some fantastic quotes from those who I have already called - it definitely is entertaining and amazing all at the same time!

"The bible dont say nothin' about Adam & Steve..."

-Ken (Nope. It doesnt. whatever helps you to vote yes Ken!)

"Is that [prop8] them one about gays? Marriage is between a man, a woman and God. Thats all you need. Thats what God wants."

-Billy (truly his name was Billy - I wish we had a few more rednecks around - they are good, simple people!!)

"Well, now you have made me reconsider. You seem like a very upstanding young lady. Regardless of how I vote, thank you for your efforts. Even if you have saved one person like me you have done you job."

-Alice (originally a no vote, but now may vote yes. She is going to go over to her neighbor who has a yes sign in his yard and ask him why he's voting yes)

Just in case you ever wonder if one person can make a difference consider our efforts on Prop 8. I dont say this to aggrandize myself - but as each person does their duty, standing shoulder to shoulder with the next- our individual efforts add up to a great force of good. 

Keep it up California YSA's, keep it up. We'll win this yet!
