Seven Villages, Janet Joakim

Sunday - Last night two signs were stolen from our yard and the property across the side street.  Signs on the neighborhood triangles were stolen a few nights before. Those islands, or as we call them, the triangles, are NOT public property. The owners have approved those signs.  As of today we have new measures in place to try to catch this  — tall as one witness described her - person. If you see anyone removing signs, please let us know or call the police. This is a crime - it is considered stealing personal property.

This year our yard signs cost us, with the wires - a more than $6 a sign.

The amount of signs that have been stolen is creeping into the hundreds of dollars.

This is sad.

It is also a crime.

Signs are personal property. If you steal a sign, you are stealing personal property.

There are claims by the people behind this recall, that people on this side, the vote no side of this campaign, are also stealing signs.

I only know of constituents who have contacted me, who found signs in their yards that were not invited.

No one has “stolen” signs that we know of, but there seems to be wide reaching level of support that I am only just becoming aware of and I am asking that any who is against this recall who feels inclined to steal or damage signs belonging to the others side, please don’t.

Lots of great people have stepped forward with donations, some of whom I know have more important places they need to put this money. Out of respect for them, I am asking for decency from the other side: stop stealing signs.

We have added a level of security to several of our signs that we are changing from sign to sign daily and in some cases a couple of times a day.

We have already had interesting results that we will share after the election. Additionally, signs that were found on property where the owner’s of the homes found them placed w/out permission reveal some interesting handiwork that might explain where some of my signs, and Demetrius’s Atsalisis’s signs, are going.

If you have one of the other side’s signs because it was somewhere it shouldn’t be, please leave it out in public someplace, but get in touch with me first. We need you to take a close look.

If you would like a sign in your yard, we have a list and will be putting them out in the next few days as well as replacing signs that were stolen.

If you would like to help with the campaign, we still have a lot to do, so please get in touch.

I am very busy and come home to loads of messages each day, but I WILL get back to you.

Thanks for all of the support.

(I had intended to give positions on this blog regarding the petition etc… but the reasons for this recall keep changing, despite what is on the petition, I am done posting and providing fodder for the unscrupulous. This campaign, along with my own family and work responsiblities, don’t allow enough hours in the day to post right now.)
