The destruction of Kerry-Edwards yard signs late Friday night and early Saturday morning incited the ire of Democratic Party Chair Abram Jacobson. "I started getting calls from homeowners who found their signs torn down overnight," Jacobson said. "We've had extensive damage and destruction. This vandalism has occurred all over the county during the last four weeks - we've lost 40 signs - but Friday night's outbreak is a much more vectored and planned thing."

On Monday, League of Women Voters board member Rebecca Shankland accompanied Jacobson in an observer capacity on a tour of White Rock homes whose political signs were destroyed. "Political dialog is the essence of democracy - without it we are lost," Shankland said as she looked over torn signs and listened to upset victims. "I am here because the league is taking this very seriously. We would be just as upset if this had happened on the other side."

Chairperson JoAnn Johnson of the Republican Party of Los Alamos was very upset to hear the news of the vandalism committed against the Democratic Party's political signs. "I absolutely denounce this behavior," Johnson said in an interview from New York. "If I find out who is responsible, I will let them know this is not the Republican way."

2. and I will give the homeowners some purpleheart bandaids for the boo boo

wow, is this repuke scorched earth policy to local and world peace? ... apparently, more behavior to be denounced besides the mockery bandaids!

hope these vandals don't work at the Los Alamos labs -- would they torch trash baskets of coworkers who disagree with them too?

3. Ms Johnson, You are a liar. You also don't show much in the way

of taking action against the vandalism. ...like calling police or sending out a memo to your rethug constituents to NOT do such a thing EVER?????????? hmmmmmmmm, wouldn't THAT be the proper action to take?

She's probably laughing up her sleeve too.

ON an upbeat note: here in my community in No Calif, I went out today and saw waaaaaaaay more Kerry stickers on cars than ever before! Woohooo

One sticker caught my eye. It was a typical campaign sticker with red,white,blue background, then Bush/Cheney In...THEN it had 1984 !!!! LOL

4. No Kerry bumper stickers at State Fair Dem booth due to Republicans

I stopped at the Dem booth at the State Fair this past weekend hoping to pick up a Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker. The guy at the booth said they had none, and that Republicans were taking them and tearing them up! It never entered my mind to do the same at the
Repub booth - why are these people so afraid of our candidates?
