Tearing down political signs is disrespectful, against the law

Published 12:00 am Monday, March 3, 2008

It’s that time of year again, when hard-working individuals take time to put out political signs for candidates they believe in.

Then in a split second a thief either removes or knocks it over. Don’t kid yourself, this is nothing but stealing.

Whoever does this is stealing the person’s time who put the sign up. and the money that that was donated, to purchase the sign. Two different times a sign supporting one certain candidate has been removed from the same location.

I won’t name the candidate, nor the location, but I will add that it is a public location with several candidates signs present and, to my knowledge, these were the only ones taken.

Whoever did steal these signs may have removed a few pieces of plastic, but did not dampen the spirits of this

supporter.
