THEFT OF CAMPAIGN SIGNS!

Post by Gillespie »

To the rotten person or persons' that took the campaign signs I placed along King's Highway and on Sloptown Road and other places. There are trail cams following numerous of these locations and if you get caught, God save you because charges will be pressed to the fullest extent of the law! I have been doing this most of my adult life and whomever is taking them is a coward and a cheat! Shame on you! The right to free speech is sacred and you broke it! you've been warned! This wasn't one or two, it was numerous signs!

More than just your signs have been removed.
People, don't be threatened by signs; they are a drop in the bucket in the whole scheme of thing. Just leave them!

Were these sings on private or public land? I know if they were on my property I'd be kinda angry. Public land for that is just that, public. Maybe keep your signs on your property. If they were on your property than you have a reason the complain and be angry. If not, too bad so sad.

Theft no matter what, freedom of speech has been denied.

There was a movie, the American President. Micheal Douglas said ‘Democracy isn’t easy, you have to respect someone saying things you spent your whole life opposing. ‘. How ever it turns out we’re Americans and we’ll get through it. I have no doubt.
