Letter to the Editor: Sign thieves steal rights

What sad and bitter irony that some people who prattle patriotism and shout loudest about liberty, freedom, and democracy are the very same people who attempt voter suppression at the state level, and succeed in vandalizing and stealing Democratic Obama signs on the local level. Well, got to say, my "neighbors'" bully tactics correlate with the Republicans they elect.

Every election year my yard signs are stolen. This year it has so far happened twice. These signs were on private property. I also know of many others in our area who have similar stories, one person's sign was even removed from high up in a tree. Is this being done by the same people who beat the drum about individual rights and privacy as they trample on mine? These folks need to recognize that constitutional rights are mine as well as theirs.

Are they so afraid of the democratic process that they would rather create tyranny? Tyranny is institutionalized violence and bullying. Given the antics on the state and local level, where are we as a democracy?
