Declaration of REDACTED in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment

I, REDACTED , make the following declaration pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746: 1. 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. On October 19, 2008, in support of Proposition 8, I placed a "Yes on 8" yard sign on my front lawn. 4. I live in a quiet, residential neighborhood. My sign was placed approximately twenty feet from the street. 5. On the night of October 27, 2008, someone stole the yard sign from my front lawn. 6. Two signs opposing Proposition 8 were visible from my front yard, and they were not removed for the entirety of the campaign. 7. Having the sign removed from my front lawn will negatively affect my support of a cause similar to Proposition 8 in the future. The person who removed my sign knows where I live, knows my political position, and yet felt "empowered" to come onto my property and remove this sign. I believe that the people in my neighborhood are not open to freedom of speech, unless it agrees with their own speech. I DECLARE UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY THAT THE FOREGOING IS TRUE AND CORRECT.

Executed on:
