Stolen Prop 8 Signs… be the bigger man!

So the battle is still running hot here in California and Prop 8 has become a huge issue in recent weeks. The fight isn’t over and we need all the support we can get to help this item to pass.
The other day I went around Elk Grove and put up five or so “Yes on 8″ signs. By the next evening three of them were gone and one of those three had been replaced with a “No on 8″ sign. I understand that this is a big issue, but that doesn’t give someone the right to take down a sign because they disagree with the issue. I don’t see people taking down signs for mayorial canidates or school board canidates. I had the urge to return and remove the one sign that had replaced my own, but I realized then, that I would be guilty of the same act that I was condemning someone else of. In the end, I let it be, allowing whomever stole my sign, access to their freedom of speech. I’ll just continue to exercise mine and place more signs.
