My yard sign was vandalized and moved
I just put it up yesterday. I chose a well lit, visible area toward the rear of my front yard. I just found the sign in the curbstrip with black spray paint on both sides. Apparently mine was the only one reported to have been vandalized last night.

I just went to the office and got a flock of dem candidate signs to put out along with a new Kerry sign. I'll be bringing them in at night until the election is over.

1. Why not put a security camera on them and put some punk in Jail?

I'll just drag them inside instead.

2. Hurricane Jeanne stole both my yardsigns this morning...
I forgot to take them in last night... so now they're probably lying in some republican's yard... hehehe

Good thing I have extras to put out tomorrow.

3. I hope they did end up there.
Did you have much damage? I'm sure with three storms going through your area you will be happy to see the hurricane season end. I hope all is well. cmd

9. Oh. My. GOD!
NV Whino, that is hilarious! What I wouldn't give to peek out the window and watch some BushBot get hosed down while trying to steal signage!

From their literature:

"The effect is both startling and immediate! Animals quickly get out of the area and avoid it in the future."

Heh!! :+

7. Mine taken today
I have had it up for several weeks - was feeling quite good about it not being tampered with - then just this afternoon it disappeared. They really are getting desperate. BTW, I have another one to put out tomorrow morning!

10. So far, no sign stolen here
In my neighborhood, which is not a Democratic stronghold by any means, there are far more Kerry signs than Bush. Thus, anyone who wants to steal them has their work cut out.

11. Yard Signs stolen in Champaign County
I had 3 yard signs stolen last night. I live in a very Republican county, but had never had this problem before. I had a Kerry/Edwards sign, a Fingerhut sign, and a sign for a local candidate for county commissioner. I have replaced the Kerry and local candidate signs, but haven't replaced the Fingerhut sign yet. Word also has it that the local cc candidate had a sign BURNED in someone's yard over the weekend. While I'm really shocked and angry about this, I have to smile because I think we're really getting to them.

13. Welcome eddiebrowns!
It's great to see another Buckeye here. I agree that the other side is getting worried. Could it be because we have registered so many more new voters?

14. Thanks for the welcome!
:toast:

Yea we have registered a lot of new voters-it's obvious that it's worrying them - just look at what Blackwell's been trying to do, and I bet he's not done looking for ways to stop people from voting. The sad part about all his tricks is, we all know that it's just his way of getting his name known around the country, since he's got a much bigger personal agenda. Everything he's doing now is being so closely watched, I don't think he'll be able to get away with anything! Kerry On!!
