SOMEBODY STOLE MY RON PAUL SIGNS

[Lightweis]

I am so pissed right now. I put up two large Ron Paul signs along the highway and fifteen small signs in northern Virginia. Somebody Jacked them this afternoon. It was either Romney or the government Goons! Damn them. Damn them!

Where were they?
I drive 123 every day, and every year it ends up getting absolutely littered with signs.
Was it on the side, or in the median? The median signs seem to be left alone, 'cause the only people who walk on the medians are either putting up signs or cutting grass.

tahts the risk you take when you put them up on public property...?

Sadly, this rings of the things I recall hearing back during the '08 election. We're supposedly the disrespectful ones, yet it is always Paul signs being stolen, Paul bumper stickers being scraped off causing damage to cars, etc etc. Were a Paul supporter accused of doing something like this it would be front page news...

Someone jacked my yard sign about 2 days ago, and my car magnet was taken about 5 days ago.

I then went to ronpaul2012.com and ordered 8 more yard signs and another magnet.

Jokes on them, they helped contribute to the campaign.

lol you put them on property that's not yours and you're made that they're gone?

I put it along Rolling Road near west springfield highschool.. I called the State and they are claiming its illegal to put up politcal signs.

This is Republican party tactic. Interestingly they will leave Democrat signs up, but they will take any third party sign or alternate candidate sign down very quickly. They don't want people to know that there is support for another option. I ran a county for the Perot effort. We put up hundreds of signs. They were systemically removed in a matter of hours. The local Republican party had teams doing it. We got very creative on where we placed the signs. Used hot melt glue on poles and concrete abutments. Some faded signs are still on mountain sides. We hung in trees over creeks, put lit up signs in windows, tied our dogs in our yards within range of our signs. One supporter reported confronting a thief in his yard with his 12 gauge.

It's actually easier now than then. Other than having my car egged, I have hardly been bothered with my Ron Paul signs. Of course, several of my neighbors are RP supporters and the Republican party hacks don't want a confrontation.

maybe a little paint trap will teach them yard thieves a lesson

Last week I found that my old faded Ron Paul sign had been replaced by a brand new shiney one in my yard. There was also a Paul sign put up high on a telephone pole (where you'd have to get a ladder to reach it) that has been up ever since.
It felt like I had a visit from the tooth fairy.

It can work both ways.

Just this morning when I was heading out, I saw one of my signs falling over. I planned on fixing it when I got home, but when I got back this afternoon, someone had set it upright without my knowing.


Always good to see

If they weren't on your property then they weren't stolen....

My car magnet was stolen about two weeks ago.

Nobody removed all the OBAMA signs in the roadway. Why ron Paul??

Because we scare them shitless.

I'm pretty sure the government took them. I don't think Romey goons would steal them in the middle of the afternoon

They steal votes in the middle of the afternoon, why not signs? LOL.

In my state, if signs are on the highway right of way -- they're trash.

That video of the guy in Wisconsin was EPIC

Anyway, it was probably someone who doesn't like Ron or the city who had it taken down.
