To the editor:
Election signs sprout like dandelions in election season. Part of the election cycle. It’s part of our American right to free speech. The signs will be taken down soon.
However, if up now, the signs for candidates should stay up till Election Day. That’s the way it works. But Democrat Julie Blake’s signs in Hopewell Township have been systematically stolen all over the township, presumably (not a bad guess) by the Republicans. How small is that? Childish. Petty. Mean spirited.
Our democracy has been designed and built on the premise that all voices have a right to be heard. The Republicans – national and local – are systematically working to destroy that right. This sign stealing is just a local example of this goal.
Vote column A. Vote Democratic on November 6th.
