what a surpise, my signs disappeared in the night......

[RareLubbockDem]

I was able to keep up my Kerry/Edwards sign in front of my business for a total of 3 days. I had a feeling it would happen when I could tell on my internet tracker that people in Lubbock were searching for my business. I'm sure they drove by, got the business name and thought, "Who the hell's that?" Sure enough, the signs were gone this morning.

Amazing that that's the best they can do. And amazing that this part of Tx is so f'n backwards.......

1. Videotape and motion sensor

Then turn it over to the cops as vandalism.

2. wish i could,

but i'm right on a corner. Quite a bit of traffic, so it'd see motion all night long and can't realy afford a system that could handle that.

Wait! I'm a small business owner. This administration has done so much for me! I forgot! I'm loaded!!

3. Its mostly Dem here but someone threw black paint on my sign

I just flipped it around and used the other side. I have also been getting reports of signs missing around the area.

My condolences on the fact that you have to live with so many whackjobs in your area.

4. thanks

i appreciate the condolences. It's been a rough week in many respects with regard to our support of Kerry, but I know in my heart we're doing right.

5. Freepers made a big stink about teens defacing Bush signs...........

"It was not an act of hate," said Dustin "Dusty" Dzuck, 17, a senior at Denfeld High School. "My mom called me a terrorist. It wasn't terrorism; it was activism. It was for a cause.... The whole thing is, basically, I just wanted to get the word out there that in my opinion Bush isn't doing this country any good."

6. Theft and defacing of Bush sign in Texas...............

I guess folks can press charges in most locales for trespassing and defacing private property. I see many folks placing signs on municipal tree lawns, road/street right-of-ways which is illegal.

7. Should I send this letter to the editor

or am i just inviting more, and possibly more serious, actions? Remember, i'm in Lubbock, Texas, about 2 hours from Midland, one of bush's "hometowns"

"It’s disappointing to me that I can’t place a sign supporting Kerry/Edwards in my yard without it being taken. To those of you who apparently see this as a tactic to suppress my support, you should know that for every sign taken, another goes up, along with an additional donation to the campaign. Further, if you truly feel that strongly that you would resort to the criminal act of vandalism, I assume you have some reasons for feeling this way. I would encourage you to knock on my door and we can discuss our differences like adults. I look forward to talking with you."

8. I like the letter

especially about the part on how each time you buy a sign it'll be money to Kerry. ;) And how stealing a sign is stealing which is a crime. I bet some people don't think it is. :eyes: Really makes me mad how when people say if you don't vote and support Bush you're unAmerican. Now that makes me mad. :mad: I can support whoever I want. There is a thing called freedom of speech. Ugh.

9. You may wanna think about that

Especially with the right wing nutjobs floating around.

I would nix the last part and send it.

10. Heard from a friend whose Kerry

signs keep disappearing, said he is going to try putting vaseline on the pole part. I suggested poison ivy.

11. Dog poop would work

as well.

12. I would call that

fertilizing a freeper!

13. Tape your signs up in a window.

That's what I did but at this point, I'm not worried anymore. The whole street has Kerry signs and only one Bush sign so if any Kerry sign goes missing or harmed we know who did it.
