Opponents of Traditional Marriage Engage in More Dirty Tricks; Supporters Create a YouTube Video
SACRAMENTO, October 17 /Christian Newswire/ -- Thefts, vandalism, and harassment of Prop. 8 supporters continues. Some enthusiastic volunteers for Prop. 8 have created a YouTube video of signs defaced and mangled by No on 8 forces, even though the No on 8 campaign claims to be one of tolerance: http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=OjkKqjkq1r4.
Many opponents of Prop. 8 are stealing only the plastic bags that slip over the metal frames for the signs. Because so many Yes on 8 signs have been stolen, ProtectMarriage.com has had to order 50,000 plastic bags to replace ones that have been stolen.
