Dear editor,
I’m not an activist, but I am a Democrat. I actively participate in the election process and for the last number of years I worked for the Ogle County Clerk as an election judge. I’ve worked side-by-side with Republicans and Democrats doing my civic duty.
Last night, someone stole my Harris for president sign out of my front yard.
In all the years that I’ve have been active, this is the first time that I’ve had a sign stolen.
It’s funny, talking with fellow Democrats, many of us have been on the lookout for people who would steal our Harris signs. I might be wrong, but I think two other signs on Fourth Street were stolen last night also.
In all the years I’ve been active I never imagined, until this year, that someone would steal a political sign. The opposing party does not seem to care about rules and regulations nor laws when it comes to the politics this year.
The leader of the opposing party, a convicted felon, and sex offender has lowered the bar for the Republican party. It’s also ended the rules and regulations of behavior, and blurred the line of legal right and wrong.
May Ogle County have no more petty theft.
-Emery Harmon, Oregon
