Unbelievable Halloween Treat!!!!

[StuffnFluffLady]

The audacity of some people! I was going though my daughters Trick or Treat bags and I could not believe what I found......A Vote No On Prop 8! The sticker went on to read....It's Unfair and Wrong!

I was furious! How dare somebody have the audacity to put a political sticker in the trick or treat bags of little kids! It just floors me that 2 grown men think it's ok to shove their opinions on little kids or at least using the Trick or Treating of little kids to get the word out to their parents. Last time I checked, Trick or Treating was about kids dressing up and getting candy......not collecting stickers with political views. The dumbest thing about it, kids can't even vote and I bet it didn't help the issue because most parents probably didn't appreciate this act anymore then I and my husband did.

I hated that when our youngest daughter pulled out the sticker (she beat me to it), she got all excited and happily squealed, "I got a sticker!" and then she got unhappy when I had to take it away. She can't read (she is only 3) but I didn't want our 7 year old to see the sticker, she can read. (I didn't feel like getting into a discussion about prop 8.)

For those of you who don't know, Proposition 8 in California is about Same Sex Marriage. It was on a ballot in the past and was voted against, then 4 judges ignored the voters and legalized Same Sex Marriage. Many CA voters I think got extremely angry that our votes were ignored. Well anyway, no matter how you feel about Prop 8, I think most people would agree that putting any kind of political sticker (especially such a controversial issue) in a little kids Trick or Treat Bag is nothing short of tacky!!!!!!

I am one of those moms that is for gay marriage, but I agree that whoever put those stickers in your childrens bags were out of line for doing it.

I will have to agree that was wrong of someone to do that.  Kids don't have the right to vote, but they knew the parents would be checking the candy.  If you want to get the word out just put a sign in your yard for all the parents that will be showing up that night.

I'm one of those moms, who believes love is love, i have no right to judge, as well as anyone else, but agreed in the format that it is VERY rude, disrespectful, and terrible to do this on halloween! I just don't understand why the very opinionated couldn't leave halloween alone. 24 hours without hearing about anything political is all they had to do. Apparently it was too hard for them to keep their wide-open mouths closed. I just don't understand why, not even for kids, they could calm it down a bit for the night. (Also meaning the woman who passed out candy to McCain Supporter's Kids, but not to Obama Supporters. I'm sure you heard of that one lol)

Just a shame..

No I didn't hear about that lady and she should be ashamed of herself, it doesn't help the cause it only hurts what you believe in. I am for McCain but I would not even think about nor care if a child came to my door who's parents only supported Obama. (they both have good and bad points anyway) and how would I even know.......how crazy and silly!!!!

I agree, all thesepeople had to do it let it go for 24 hours. But I guess some people just can't......so sad!

Oh and by the way, this couple did have a couple of signs in their yard and they were very easy to see.  Guess it wasnt' enough for them.

That is tacky!  This entire election has caused otherwise sane people to lose their ever lovin' minds!  Did you read the journal about the woman who refused candy to trick or treaters whose parents were voting for Obama?  C'mon people!! Get a grip!! These are just kids we're talking about!!
