On early voting and disappearing Kerry signs
I was out RE-delivering Kerry signs which are being stolen and vandalized as quick as we get them up.

We ask for a couple dollars if you can give, to help with the cost, but it's not necessary. One guy who just turned 83 gave me $20 today. He said the first time he gave $5. Then his sign was stolen, so he gave $10 for a new one and it was stolen. Today he gave $20 for his third sign. He said the more they try to stop him, the more he's giving.

He said he's going in to vote early just in case he dies before November 2. He said if he votes by mail, they'll destroy his ballot if he dies before Nov 2 but if he goes in to vote, they won't know which vote was his, so they have to count it. What a card. With that attitude, he should live forever!!

2. My aunt's doing the same...
up in Chicago. She's been in and out of the hospital this last month, but wants to make sure she votes early, just in case!
