Break-in at Dan Seals IL-10 Waukegan Office!
From Dan's campaign manager:

I received a call this morning at 6:00 a.m. that our Waukegan Office was broken into.

First they tried to break down the back door, then they hurled something through the front and they robbed us. Police are currently looking for suspects.

I am just happy that no one was hurt.

For those who have never been to the office, this is where we welcome voters, launch canvassing drives, host phone banks, and hold forums.

It is a vital part of our efforts to engage and support a community that has had more than its fair share of challenges.

I don't know who broke into our office, but I know we can't let them stop us.

The next six weeks are crucial. We need your help to get our office back.

Help us rebuild the Waukegan office:

Front Door: $750
Security System & Camera Installation: $650
Security System for Six Weeks: $150
Laptops Purchased at Best Buy: $600 per laptop

Make a donation to cover the cost of each of these or simply make a $25 contribution and it will be used toward the Waukegan office rebuild.

There are still thousands of voters who we have not yet reached and whose voices must be heard on Election Day.

If you've been sitting on the sidelines or been too busy to help- we need you today. The next six weeks matter more for you, your families and our country's future than ever before.

Take two weeks off of work...spend one day a week volunteering at one of our regional offices...come to our office three nights a week- even if you've only got one hour to give.

Do something to combat the folks that don't want change, that don't want you to bring change to Waukegan—much less to Washington.

Fill out the volunteer form here.

Upon completing the form, I guarantee you will be contacted within 24 hours by one of our organizers and put to work. We have 10 phone lines at the Waukegan office alone. Take a moment to sign up and help phone bank.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Patrick Mogge
Campaign Manager

1. Do republican offices get broken into with the regularity
that the Dems do?

It seems like every time I turn around, another Dem office has been vandalized, usually with the only thing taken being computer systems. The last one I remember is John Yarmouth of Kentucky.

You'd almost think someone is coordinating or encouraging these attacks.

5. MEDIA SHOULD TAKE A TALLY
I have no doubt that the Dem's offices get broken into the most. I have heard of at least one in MN. Why the hell are people not taking their computers home. It is stupid to leave them and any pertinent info that matters. How stupid. I think that there needs to be a serious tally and someone needs to report it and analyze it. I mean, are Republicans that violent ? We know but does the public know? They should.

2. Take your laptops home with you. Leave a laptop with some code that
sends out email to the local police office with ip address information saying that is has been stolen as soon as it boots up.

Rig the office with an inexpensive video feed recording at an off site location.

4. What did you guys put the office downtown or on
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 08:14 PM by EC
Belvedere Road? Smash and grabs are a part of those locations...

On Edit: this one may have been just a normal smash and grab, check the flea markets and see if your stuff is there...
