From the SacBee:
A Republican running against U.S. Rep. Howard Berman wants to place a measure on the November ballot that would return the tiny image of a cross to the Los Angeles County seal...
Supervisors Mike Antonovich and Don Knabe supported keeping the cross, saying ACLU's threatened lawsuit was akin to religious censorship. Supervisors Zev Yaroslavsky, Gloria Molina and Yvonne Brathwaite Burke voted to seek a compromise with the ACLU to replace the cross with other historic images.
Now, GOP candidate David Hernandez is trying to collect 170,606 signatures by Friday to get a measure on the ballot that would restore the cross to the county seal...
The longer-term solution is to vote out Zev, Gloria, Yvonne, and other politicians who share their viewpoints.
