Someone Stole My John Kerry Sign and I am Pissed!!!
The "compassionate christian conservative" also stole every Democratic sign on my street! There are no more JK signs at Democratic party HQs until next week!

:grr: :grr: :grr:

1. Replace it with homemade sign: "A Republican Stole my K-E sign, and they
are trying to steal your future too. Vote Democratic on November 2."

3. That happened to me recently but
so far the second sign is lasting. I do have a back-up sign to replace it if it happens again, though.

Sorry about what happened. I think making the homemade sign is a great idea.

And offering it for download. I should do that, eh?

8. Yeah. Do it with four pages (or whatever it takes to make it big enough...
...to match the size of a yard sign).

People can buy sticks or whatever and tape the whole thing together.

You could print a new one up ever day if they keep getting stolen.

Leave space so people can write in the number of signs that have been stolen.

"Republicans stole <6 of> my K-E sign<s>..."

11. I should be able to make it where rhey could...
go to a printer and have it put on some heavy stock for relatively cheap. Something that would withstand rain, and stuff.

4. Download a graphic from JohnKerry.com
Edited on Sat Oct-09-04 09:27 AM by joefree1
Go here for some Kerry graphics:
http://www.johnkerry.com/downloads/

Once printed it will only last a week or so because of fading, but by then you'll have a new sign.

BTW, I got extra signs just in case they steal ours. Hasn't happen yet.The conservatives here in LA aren't as bold as they were in 2000.

6. Are you my neighbor ?
Edited on Sat Oct-09-04 09:29 AM by Drifter
Same thing happened here last night.

The Bush / Cheney sign 2 doors down is still there. Another neighbor has other (local candidate) signs that remained untouched.

Just the Kerry/Edwards signs dissapeared. Just the plastic, not the wire. In fact, what is strange is that it appears that they pulled the sign out of the ground, removed the plastic, and then put the wire back in the ground (poorly).

Cheers
Drifter

9. wire to sign, flashcubes
attach a thin wire or black thread to the sign,

then into your window, where a thin opening admits it into your residence,

where you have something attached.
The rich may like flashcubes when the shutter lever is pulled...

the middle class might like a cowbell clapper

the poor might use an empty tin can stack, which would tumble when the bottom one is pulled.

Flick on your lights when you hear the cowbell or tins. Keep a cool head and laugh at the nudnicks... no sense in getting into a fight with psycho's . Just shock them into not returning, with your sudden reaction... lights. Laugh at them, float above their antics, be Buddha.

PS the really rich can use a $20 motion detector from a Carol
Wright type catalog or dimestore.

13. Local Republicans are calling for $200 fines for their missing signs
although why anyone would want a BushLies sign
is beyond me.

15. Ya' know, if it makes you feel any better...
The house directly across the street from the entrance to the Governors mansion here in Atlanta had a Kerry sign for a while, and now it's gone too! Wire frame is still there. (BTW, that house happens to belong to Anne Cox Chambers.)
Governor, of course, is Repub.

16. Rally signs?
MAKE YOUR OWN! :) Or use rally signs and staple them to a scrap piece of wood (use it as a stake).

Ours has been stolen 7 times. Yes, 7 times.

This last time, I attached a sticky-note to both sides that said:

"Dear Sir or Madam,

For each time you steal my sign, I will put another one up within 24 hours, no matter how many time I must do it. I will also write a check to the DNC for $10 for every sign you steal as well (and yes, I can afford it)."

That sign has stayed for over a week now ;)

17. Write a LTTE about free speech
and the Thugs' obvious fear of dissent.

FYI, at our Dem HQ we are taking down the names and addresses of everyone who tells us of their lawn signs stolen (usually while they are in to get replacement). We have 9 legal pages full of names and we send updated lists to our lawyers, the police and the local paper.

Many now take their signs in at night cause that's when the fascist cowards strike.
