Letter-to-the-Editor: Don’t bother others’ campaign yard signs

As a resident of Socastee for over 20 years, I would like to express how I feel about some of the people of our area who are running for public office. I voted for state Rep. Thad Viers for the past eight years. He has carried out every promise he made for District 68 that I am aware of, and he will get my vote again this year. I write this not because of him. I travel Forestbrook Road often and I am appalled at what I am seeing. Campaign signs are being taken from the yards of private property in an attempt to hinder the competition. I know it is legal to put your campaign signs on private property. I also have one in my yard and I dare catch someone trying to remove it. Let us all act like real honest Americans and be fair about this upcoming election. Leave the signs alone, and better yet get your own.
