Theft of Trump sign won’t deter

Dear Editor: I expected it might happen. I hoped it wouldn’t happen. But sure enough it did happen. I posted a Trump/Vance sign (correct size and location), primarily to let the many other conservatives in Log Hill Village know they are supported and not alone. I put the sign up on Thursday. By Friday noon it was gone. Stolen. Some thief succeeded in stealing the Trump/Vance sign I paid for, but they will not succeed at stealing my First Amendment rights. Fight! Fight! Fight!
