Newsday's Joye Brown on Stealing Signs and Compromising Candidates

Check Out, Voters should try to find positive signs

Write on, Joye!

No sooner than my lawn signs are planted in terra firma, they are removed -- mostly by folks who can't even read what's written on them -- at the direction of those faithful to "the other party."

For my own personal experience, read The Uhl Blog post, One Party Rules In The Trashing Of Lawn Signs.

An affront to free speech, if not democracy itself, such juvenile (not to mention illegal) acts undermine the election process, and deprive the voters of a very basic means of communication from candidates for public office.

Hopefully, voters will take this absence of signs as a sign itself; that they need to do their homework, see who's out there, take heed of the issues, and vote -- even if its for the candidate with the fewest signs!

Michael Uhl,
Candidate for Nassau County Legislature,
8th District
