++YARD SIGNS! Get your yard signs early. They are already going fast.

Just a suggestion, but, if you get your yard signs early at your Democratic Headquarters you can avoid the last minute rush and dearth of them near the election season. Plus NOW is when you can get them for free. Get your signs early, get them in when your laws allow, and remember to keep your yard mowed and looking nice as a reflection of the type of voters we are.

don ivan then expect more of that. I take mine in and out. Sometimes everyday. Went through 2 Hillary signs when I finally could get one. Be brave.
They do that to get EXACTLY that response from you. Put up a trail-cam and nail them so your county can be safer. Don't just accept that behavior. They're bullies sure as shit. Maybe put them on your porch or in your windows. It's against the law to pull yard signs or vandalize anyones home. Just follow local rules for posting election signs.
Remember D-Day. The beginning of the end for fascism in Europe. Everyone was scared when the doors dropped. But Americans and Canadians and Brits and Aussies etc, MANNED UP and did it. Thank gods. They count on freaking you out. Just get smarter than these fools. Be BRAVE. Our country depends on it. That's no joke this year.

They are not free for the campaigns and they need the volunteers now more than ever. If you take a yard sign please make sure to put in the work for them as well -and knock on some doors.
