First Amendment Under Fire in Bay County
These Obama yard signs were found on 27th Street in the Kings Point neighborhood the week of September 8th. There have been frequent accounts of Obama signs stolen from yards.
On Friday September 12th, I observed a silver/white Camaro style two door car with a black roof stop in front of my house. A young white man got out of the car around 9:00 p.m. and removed my Obama sign from the yard and carried it back to his car. Before they could leave, I confronted the young men and told them to give me my sign back. I managed to retrieve the sign from the roof of their car before they could leave. They sped off at a high rate of speed.
Previously, two Obama signs at my office were stolen within about 36 hours of being placed in the yard.
These events are a sickening comment on the level of political discourse in our town. They call out for condemnation. I believe our best response is not to stoop to similar vigilantism but to publicize the tactics of our opponents.
If you have a story of how your yard sign has been treated send us the date, and nature of the theft or vigilantism you experienced. We will add your account to the history of this election.
Barack Obama must win Florida to become the 44th President of the United States
The state of Florida is the focus of this election. As we listen to news commentators outline what states that are needed to win the election for Obama, the conclusion is — if Florida is in the win column for Obama, it is virtually impossible for McCain to win the election. It takes 270 electoral votes to become President. Florida has 10% of the votes needed (27). The popular vote is so very important because the candidate with the most popular vote takes all 27 electoral votes!
Florida is the number one battleground state in this election. We must turn Florida blue in order for the White House to have a Democratic President in 2009. The White House is within our grasp; all we have to do is deliver the votes. Six simple steps will assure us victory on November 4th.
