Just had my yard sign stolen.

I think the next sign i put out,im gonna outline it with razor wire,or hook it up to a 12v battery and then will see how many times they keep coming back.
10-13 McCain signs on one street.

Let me just say... sign thieves do not care about candidates or party affiliations.

There was an article in the local paper this weekend about signs getting stolen, slashed and defaced. The big issue seems to be the one about Prop 8 (anti-gay-marriage law). One guy went as far as to build a frame that encased the sign within plexiglass and with 4x4 posts that reached 2 feet into the ground. It remained secured, but was defaced with the word bigot spray painted on it. I agree with the vandal's opinion on the subject, but not with his methodology. Frankly, if the issue wasn't such a hot one, I'd probably go around having fun with the issue. Unfortunately noone would be taking it lightly.

Not trying to argue, but if they dont care, then why did they leave the Obama signs still up?

The flip side of that:

There's a campaign sign near my son's high school supporting Prop 102 (opposes a change in the current definition of marriage in the State of AZ).

Huge red swastika painted over it.



People need to grow the F up.
