Simply to take their political signs away. People have the right to freedom of expression on their own property.

I'd say, put up surveillance cameras, then post the faces of these people ALL OVER TOWN: grocery stores, churches, schools, etc. Rent a billboard and post faces. Shame them for acting like larcenous children.

Besides the fact that I get perfectly that they are terrified that Beto could well overtake Cruz to win the Senate seat, they are always the ones who feel justified in committing this kind of act. Too much Fox Noise is not good for the brain, maybe?

If they don't lie, cheat and steal how else could they stay in control of power and money?

DeLay's Gerrymandering replaced Martin Frost with Sessions--a black mark on our part of Dallas ever since.

I remember a news story from a previous election in which a Denver couple drove a van around at night stealing Democratic political signs - that is, until the husband ran into a clothesline in the dark and knocked himself out in a driveway. The homeowner found him and the couple was subsequently arrested.

It's also illegal in NC to remove them, iirc. At the very least it's trespassing. Definitely a sad state of affairs.

Thanks for the post, Quixote1818.

Go, Beto!

Love, peace and shelter,
