2008 Elections

Our voting poles opened at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday. Jesse and I got the kids up at 6:00 a.m. to head to the poles with them. Jesse was second in line while I stayed in the van with the boys while they watched 'Curious George'. Ten minutes before the poles opened the boys & I went inside to stand in line with Jesse, by then the line was out the door. A lot of people were impressed that we would bring our kids at that age that early in the morning with us to vote and told us what a good example we are, to show them that voting is an important thing.

So to all of you parents, even if you did not take your kids that early in the morning to the poles ... you still had to wait in line for a long time with your kids and that is a challenge in itself!! Thank you for being such good examples to them!

In closing I would just like to say thank you to all of you California voters who got out there to vote yes on Prop 8. And I know quite a few of you really pulled up your arm sleeves and actually helped to arrange rally's, went door-to-door, made phone calls, etc. for this to pass. This wasn't just for you, but for the rest of the United States. Thank you again and congratulations.
