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. I am the senior pastor of Calvary REDACTED . 4. In support of the passage of Proposition 8, I donated $XXX to ProtectMarriage.com ­ Yes on 8. 5. In support of the passage of Proposition 8, my family displayed bumper stickers on our cars and put yard signs in our front yard. 6. During the petition phase of the campaign in support of Proposition 8, Calvary served as a distribution center for petitions. 7. Calvary REDACTED also distributed yard signs and bumper stickers to church members and members of the community where the church is located. 8. Members of Calvary REDACTED also telephoned around 275 people on behalf of ProtectMarriage.com ­ Yes on 8. 9. Shortly after the petition drive ended, a woman called the church's number and asked if we were a distribution center. I took this phone call. 10. After I told the woman that we had already completed collecting the petitions, she asked me if I was going to sign the petition against divorce. I replied that I did not know what the woman was talking about. The woman then told me that if I was against gay marriage, I should be equally against divorce. 11. After I realized that this was an opposition call, I told the woman that I was not sure that I understood her, thanked her for calling, and hung up the telephone. 12. One of our family cars had two bumper stickers supporting Proposition 8 on it. 13. While this car was parked in the parking garage at my wife's place of employment, the bumper stickers were ripped off of this car on two occasions. 14. The first time the bumper stickers were ripped off of the car car, someone placed an antiProposition 8 note on the windshield. A true and correct copy of the note is attached as Exhibit A.

15. After the bumper stickers were ripped off of the car a second time, a third set of bumper stickers was placed inside the windows with tape, so that they could not be ripped off again. I DECLARE UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY THAT THE FOREGOING IS TRUE AND CORRECT.
