Hi George,

I was sitting right next to you while you were photographing our local and state Dems at The Park, but did not want to disturb you. Have been following your site for some months now.

Five signs have been either stolen, or torn to shreds at my house on Azalea Drive in Fry's Spring. I am thinking to write a letter to the Prog, but it might just be annoying. The worst was someone ripping a political decal halfway off the side of my vehicle, leaving only "Defend America." So I know it was political vandalism, not just a reckless teenager.

But we soldier on.

Cheers,
