I am a resident of the state of California over 18 years of age, and my statements herein are based on personal knowledge. 2. I supported the passage of Proposition 8. 3. In support of Proposition 8, I donated $XX through my church, . 4. In support of Proposition 8, I participated in a Yes on 8 rally in Euclid, wrote several commentaries for both our local paper and online blogs, attended our church's Yes on 8 presentation, and visited numerous websites that supported Proposition 8. 5. In support of Proposition 8, I also placed yard signs in my hard. On three separate occasions, the signs were stolen or vandalized during the night. I reported these incidents to my local police department, but I received no response from them. 6. On one morning following the disappearance of my signs, I walked up and down my street and saw that all of the Proposition 8 were tagged with the words "hate speech" or "hater." I walked over to my neighbor's house to talk about what had happened, and I noticed that my sign was in his yard, along with several other signs. I knew that this was my sign, because I purchased it from my church and the graphics were different than most of the "Yes on 8" signs. 7. That day, I took photographs of the vandalized signs, sent the photos to the police, and reported the vandalism as hate speech. True and correct copies of the pictures I took are attached as Exhibit A. As set forth above, I never received a response from the police department about this vandalism. I DECLARE UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY THAT THE FOREGOING IS TRUE AND CORRECT.
