Grrr, I'm getting so frustrated. (m)
I've had a bumper sticker removed from my car and now my Kerry yard sign has been stolen. It lasted less than one week. I think I know who did it, but certainly could never prove it. Meanwhile, there has been a Bush/Cheney sign up in the same neighborhood since May and it hasn't budged.

I've been lobbying Florida Today to do a story on the intimidation tactics from desperate Bush supporters, but so far no nibbles. What wonderful ethics these fine upstanding citizens have that they'll resort to trespass and theft.

Just a vent.

1. Post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' next to it.

4. I just put a homemade sign on my door. (m)
"Kerry/Edwards 04" "Original Yard Sign Stolen by Compassionate Conservative"

And a friend is sending me ten to replace this one!

2. put 'em on the inside!
inside your car windows and inside your house windows!!!

i do like the 'thou shalt not steal' deal, but they don't care much about the 'thou shalt not kill' deal so they might not give a hoot about stealing.

6. Good point. If you break one commandment with impunity,...(m)
what good are the rest. Besides, I guess these thieves are just taking their cues from the top.

3. The Bush/Cheney sign.......................
should "disappear" as well. Now I'm certainly not advocating your involvement but there are all sorts of people that do things like this. (wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more) If people want to engage in this type of partisan bullshit, it's incumbent upon us to fight back, not just take it as we've been accustomed to.

7. Rub habenero pepper oil all over the sign
That way when the rightie grabs it, he'll get the oil all over his hands, and it will ultimately end up in his eyes, and possibly on other 'sensitive' areas of his body. The next time they steal your sign, you can laugh and laugh and laugh...
