Election signs are optional

Greensburg Daily News

Greensburg — Dear Editor:

The Primary election campaign season is quickly drawing to a close. It is a good time to remind all candidates and residents that no one has a right to place a sign in your front yard unless you have told them it is OK to do so.

For the past couple of weeks I have received a few complaints about signs being stolen, signs not wanted and signs being placed without permission. If this is the case, the person placing the sign is trespassing.

Some folks are not happy with the size of the signs and some are not happy with the number of signs.

Please remember, if you have granted permission to have a sign placed on your property, you are, in essence, giving your support to that candidate, so please know the candidate you are granting this privilege and know what they stand for.

It is not necessary to say yes to every candidate who may ask.

I am writing this letter to let every resident know that while I encourage you to support your favorite candidate, you are well within your right to remove any signs placed without your permission. You may dispose of it or call the candidate and ask them to come and remove the sign.

Best regards,

Larry Meyer

Decatur County Republican Chairman

  • Who's the real extremist? Donnelly or Mourdock?

    Dear Editor:
    Extremist?
    That is a catch word used by Joe Donnelly to describe Richard Mourdock. Donnelly, like President Obama, cannot run on his failed record Ñ and failed it did!

  • Goin' down the road, feelin' bad...

    Dear Editor,
    I'm no "Roads Scholar," but it's time for me to express my displeasure with our highways being repaved using the simply awful chip and seal method.

  • Memory loss and politics

    Dear Editor,
    There is a profession for people who not only hope, but absolutely depend on people to have memory loss.

  • CASA's still needed

    Dear Editor,
    Two hundred.
    That's how many local children have been the victims of abuse or neglect but currently sit on our waiting list at Advocates for Children, without a Court Appoint Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer to stand by their side as they navigate the child welfare system alone.

  • Vectren energy delivery problems

    Dear Editor:
    Is it just me, or is Vectren Energy Delivery the most unresponsive, uncaring, corporation known to man?

  • What's in a (team) name?

    Dear Editor,
    Even though we achieved independence from Great Britain two centuries and change back, many Americans still harbor feelings of Anglophilia.
    They consider customs "British" or "English" to be superior to those of upstart Americans.

  • What about guns?

    Dear Editor,
    The national controversy over gun ownership and the desirability of laws regulating gun ownership continues unabated; indeed, it is exacerbated each time some crazy goes on a shooting rampage.

  • More on the Batman shooter, comic debate

    Dear Editor,
    I'm not na•ve enough to think that I was going to change Mr. Voiles' mind when it comes to comic book culture and how it is perceived in wake of the Aurora shooting, but at the very least I was hoping for him to see my point of view (which is a point of view shared by many people, I've come to find out).

    Dear Editor,
    We keep hearing about all the "economic development" that will result from this airport expansion.
