Dear Editor,
As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches and we reflect on the recent election, we realize how thankful we are to live in Moraga. We are thankful for the numerous citizens of our Town who volunteered their time on the Measure K campaign. In the weeks leading up to the election, over one hundred volunteers canvassed the neighborhoods in an effort to educate citizens about the land use measures on the ballot. Thank you to everyone who gave up valuable time away from family, friends and work to walk neighborhoods and make phone calls. Also, we are thankful to the hundreds of endorsers and financial donors who provided resources for expenses, i.e. legal counsel, consultant fees and campaign literature. Without their support, many voters would not have been educated on the true issues involved with open space in Moraga. Thanks to their efforts, we achieved the substantial 44% voter approval on Measure K. We are especially thankful to the Friends of Moraga Open Space, a small group of dedicated Moraga citizens, who volunteered countless hours throughout the entirety of the campaign to save our small Town. Last of all, we want to commend this group for leading an honest campaign that did not resort to lies and character assassinations. The Friends will continue to inform the public and we'll need continued support from all concerned citizens in the future as each new development reaches the Moraga Planning Commission. Thank you, fellow Moragans, for your past and future support!
Susan Sperry and Caroline Wood

Dear Editor,
My husband and I were very upset to see children standing on the corner in Lafayette with "No on 8" signs. At the ages of the participants in this activity, I doubt that they understand what marriage is much less what same sex marriage connotes. Yes, I know they have an intellectual idea but not the actual reality. I saw one female adult encouraging them to yell their slogan but the rest of the group were children. It seems to us an incorrect use of our children to ask them to yell slogans and carry signs that proposes an idea they don't really understand as an adult understands it.
