First off, I oppose 48 too. And stealing signs is wrong. But it happens – on both sides. The fact that someone did that to 2 people is not indicitive of squat.
As to literature in the mailbox – everyone does that. They’re all told not to and the people canvassing all do it at times. The stupid thing about this law is that it’s illegal – it should be allowed for political literature.
Stick to the issues – you will defeat 48 on that.
Disagree strongly on the mail thing. You do not tamper with the U.S. mail. Period. Give any single person the right to go opening peoples’ mailboxes to put in literature and you give any single person the cover to steal from or insert mail for any other reason, too.
If someone wants to drop off literature, my door handle is always available.
No canvass operation I have ever been a part of puts literature in the mailbox. Everyone knows that it is illegal, and everytime it has come up in pre-canvass discussion not only does the light hearted tone of the discussion change, but it also a serious offense that every campaign I have been a part of takes seriously. I would never be comfortable with allowing a federal offense be segued because it is a political campaign. That is asinine.
It’s that the campaigns stress don’t do it real strongly and there are always a couple of people who do. I did it once by mistake because I didn’t realize till afterwards that it was the persons mailbox and I was not going to reach back in once I realized that it was their mailbox.
I don’t think it’s something to call the cops over.
then left a message behind detailing why they damaged your property, you wouldn’t be concerned?
But you don’t have to go into red alert freakout mode.
David’s original point–that these are isolated incidents, not indicative of a trend–holds true. I’ve seen the truck that you’re talking about driving around town. It’s ridiculous, but I severely doubt they’re part of the vast Religious Right conspiracy that’s coming to get us.
This is a particularly volatile election year, but this is about the most insignificant act of political violence I’ve heard about. We have 5 more days though, so who knows.
We’re both married, so we know that women are always right and much, much smarter than us. 🙂
now your fondling my soft spot.

and it is always our fault. I have 3 daughters too, so I just start every conversation with I’m sorry 🙂
