Display of political signs is a form of freedom of speech
The Allegany County Democratic Central Committee denounces the theft or destruction of political campaign signs for all candidates, regardless of political affiliation.
It is unfortunate that in recent weeks, signs for several candidates have been stolen or destroyed.
Political campaign signs come at a financial cost and are the personal property of the individuals who display them. Their display is a form of First Amendment freedom of speech. Democrats believe that the First Amendment must be protected and that theft and destruction of personal property is reprehensible.
Please keep in mind that political campaign signs may only be placed on properties in accordance with applicable laws and may only be placed with permission of the property owner. Signs may never be placed on governmental property.
The success of democracy demands that political parties stand for democracy for all. Please do not destroy or steal any candidate signs.
Brian K. Grim, chair
Allegany County Democratic Central Committee
