Now that reporters from across the Central Valley have covered our billboards, we're please to aggregate their stories here for everyone to enjoy:
- Making pitch for hearts, not souls of drivers on Highway 99
Manteca Bulletin - 'Godless billboards' promote atheism in Stockton and Ripon
Lodi News - Yes, they have no religion — and they feel misunderstood

Fox News
We've also appeared in two blogs, the Stockton Record reporter who covered our story and The Friendly Atheist.
Sadly, our sister group in Fresno has also been making the news because their billboard has been vandalized.
