A few have written to the Duluth News Tribune that their lawn signs for Republican or conservative candidates have been stolen or damaged. These letter writers charge that it is Democrats or liberals who steal or damage signs.
A smaller number have written to state that their lawn signs for Democratic or liberal candidates have also been damaged or stolen. These writers point out that the vandals are probably apolitical.
This past week I had my Welty sign stolen. Harry Welty is a moderate, ex-Republican who is running for Congress. There were also a beer can and fast food containers on the boulevard or sidewalk.
I think the sign stealers are the jerks that park and picnic outside their own neighborhoods. They don't care about littering and they think their vandalism is "only having fun".
