- ELECTION DAY

This morning Kurt and I were at the polls 15 minutes after they opened, before we went to work. We vote at the Seventh Day Adventist church.

We delivered our absentee ballots and got our "I voted" stickers.

After work, I went with Tyler so he could vote.

We came back to the house and checked out some of the early results online. Early on McCain was ahead by 6 electoral votes. That didn't last long.

Tyler didn't stay long. He had a flower delivery to make ;)

So, we have a new president. No comment. Should be an interesting 4-8 years.

As of 9:30 p.m., Proposition 8 is ahead by a slim margin. Pray.

- LAST PUSH FOR PROP 8

Today, after church, our family hung "remember to vote YES on Proposition 8" fliers on doors. We were given a list of 81 houses in the downtown area to target. All of these voters were Prop 8 friendly. Alyssa and Alax helped us deliver the fliers. (They had delivered 120 fliers in the Folsom area yesterday!)

Here we are punching the holes out of the fliers.

Our list and the fliers we delivered. The fliers were specific to each polling place. I'm amazed at the time and effort that has been spent in support of this proposition.

While we were out and about today I fixed some signs that had been pulled up.

This one happens to be in front of the office where I work. I see this one every day.

Kurt and I spent the remainder of the evening going through all of our voting information and completing our absentee ballots. We like to take our time and do this at home and then deliver them on election day.

- PARTY A & PARTY B

I know this is supposed to be funny, but Kurt and I actually went to a wedding a few months ago where the wording was similar. This is very scary to me. Vote YES on Proposition 8!!!

- Proposition 8

Two more weeks until election day. The letters to the editor in our local paper are the hot topic lately. Television commercials for both sides are being aired quite frequently too. We have this sign in our yard showing our support for a YES on Prop 8 vote. We feel very strongly about this particular issue.

- PROPOSITION 8

This is definitely the best news I've heard all day!
Less than 4 weeks until election day -
Have YOU registered to vote??

- YES ON PROPOSITION 8

Just wanted to share a video that I thought was very informative regarding Proposition 8. This is exactly why I'll be voting YES on Proposition 8 in November! Please take the time to click on the link below to watch this. It's a little lengthy, but well worth the time.

- YOUTH FIRESIDE

Tonight we had a Youth Fireside at our house regarding Proposition 8. Jeff Rush and Bishop Anderson spoke. 16 youth and 9 adult leaders attended. The youth had a lot of questions and comments and everyone left with a better understanding of how we can do our part to support this proposition.

We ended the night with brownies ala mode and Ana Mackey beating every one of the boys at arm wrestling. GO ANA!!!

- PROPOSITION 8

This morning Kurt and I went and walked precincts in support of Prop 8. We canvassed 2 neighborhoods and talked with voters about this important issue on the November ballot. We were surprised how many people were uninformed but encouraged that there were so many supporters out there. We did this in Tracy in 2000 for Prop 22 so we had some idea of what to expect. It was a really good experience for us.

We met at Grandpa's Pharmacy and received a short orientation, a list of voters and our "VOTE 2008" badges. We were out knocking on doors by 9:30 a.m.
