Support candidates responsibly, legally and respectfully

| October 24, 2014 6:00 AM

To all the support thugs who think it's ok to destroy, remove or otherwise sabotage political signs. IT'S A CRIME, CRIMINAL OFFENSE punishable by prison time! Don't you know that your actions reflect directly on the person you are supporting by committing these crimes. Since you supposedly work for the candidate this also makes the candidate liable for your actions. I'm not pointing any fingers, but a sign at Naylor junction supporting Angus Lee "mysteriously" disappeared and a large sign supporting Garth Dano "magically" appeared in it's place. Upon closer observation I found the Angus Lee sign on the ground behind Dano's sign and all the zip ties had been clipped. Hmmm... methinks foul actions are afoot... I replaced Angus Lee's sign, leaving Dano's sign intact, not wanting to stoop to the level of these thug supporters. I urge EVERYONE to keep their eyes open for this illegal activity and to report it to the authorities immediately. If you can get a license number or phone picture, all the better. I urge everyone to support the candidate of their choice, but please do it responsibly, legally and respectfully.
