Hey, I LOVE that idea Mike. Put the signs inside and throw light on them … wow, that's just too excellent. And if the light source is inside (a strong spot) then, they can't steal or break the light either. Ha! Brilliant!

I like the idea of putting lights on the signs. What I would do is move the signs inside (at least at night) and place it in a big window with lights on it. This way no one can vandalize it unless they break in to the house.

My mom had a statue of the Virgin Mary in her front yard. It was stolen a few times. Now she places it inside of her living room window facing the street.

To all who read this, please drop a link to this site's home page on any Catholic blogs you visit. Just put it in their comments section. I've sent an e-mail to several Catholic blogs leading them here and asking them to post an article or link, but many do not provide e-mail addresses on their sites. So I've been dropping links in comments and on forums … please do so too … it DOES make a difference. By the way, Jeff Miller a.k.a. Curt Jester has been extraordinarily helpful regarding my requests in posting links on his site. He has 2-3 posts on Aurora's Fight currently on his front page. Drop him a line of thanks on one of his comment links if you wish. (Each time he put the link up that I sent to him, our blog traffic quadrupled. His site is highly visited. Thanks Jeff!)

Stealing signs doesn't surprise me at all. In fact I expected it.

I was at the abortuary the Sunday morning after our big rally. A woman driving by stopped and dropped a bunch of our pamphlets out of her car window. She had obviously been going around from house to house picking them up after we had distributed them.

If they won't respect something as fundamental as the sanctity of human life, can we expect them to respect our freedom of speech?

Stealing signs? Can you get some more? If so, maybe you should throw some "light" on them like people do at Christmastime with spots. It would be somewhat harder to steal that way as the perp would be "lit" up and it would at least for the time it was up be VERY noticeable to passers-by. (It would make a very good picture too to keep for historical reasons.) We did this when Mother Teresa of Calcutta died; made a sign to honor her, put light on it, and people read it as they passed by. No one stole it, however, but it did make some folks uneasy as it was uncommon to see at a private residence.

When I talked to my husband about the clergy standing up for PP, he said, "You know, that's difficult to even comment on … it's just so very absurd." And to the Evil One I say, "Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art though among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus, Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, Amen." (The devil hates prayer, by the way. Much like the evil witch in Wizard of Oz hated water.) So pray, pray, pray! Or as Pope John Paul the Great told my husband's boss when he had a private Mass with the Pope years ago and stated to JPII afterwards that he prayed for him and all worldly concerns, the Pope looked him straight in the eye and said, "But YOU must pray Moooooooooore!"

During the campaign over the abortion ban in South Dakota last fall, hundreds (if not thousands) of signs across the state were vandalized, stolen, or set on fire. Despite pro-lifers investigating and giving cops the information on individuals and groups vandalizing the signs, they did nothing (until one person was caught on election day). While it may seem inconsequential compared to the bigger picture (getting PP out of Aurora), fight the sign vandals, or they'll get more bold and continue.

Just to update things- Anyone with a sign in Oakhurst North just had their signs stolen or trashed- some residents found their signs left in the trash bins awaiting p/u tomorrow.

These people can't stand the TRUTH so they prowl around under the cover of night like snakes stealing signs. They are really losing this battle if they'll stoop to this level! I've filed a police report none-the-less!

I saw the channel 7 clip as well and immediately e-mailed Eric. When I saw clergy supporting the PP clinic, I thought you have got to be kidding! (I thought I heard 30 pieces of silver striking the floor in the background).
I know the devil prowls around in sheep's clothing but I didn't know he traded in his woolen vest for clergy clothes.
fyi, Alan Kraschesky is my neighbor and I plan on printing out the ad that is going into the papers this Sunday and knocking on his door and asking for his support to get equal time.

The more we get involved and the more people we get involved the better. This only goes to support the phrase "evil thrives when good men and women do nothing".
