Karl Silverman, one of the founders of the Neighborhood Democrats and SD 11 SDEC, wrote the following article about the vandalization of the Democratic Campaign Headquarters in League City, TX.
There was a terrorist attack in Galveston County. Glass was shattered as was the safety and security of every American citizen. It wasn't Al Qaeda but it just as easily could have been. In the middle of the night a car jack smashed a window at the Democratic Campaign Headquarters in League City. The terrorists left their calling card on the building for all to see and fear; it was a Bush/Cheney 04 bumper sticker. The police now have it as evidence.
Stealing yard signs wasn't enough. Tearing down large 4x4 Kerry/Edwards highway signs wasn't enough. Yelling derogatory comments at the Santa Fe Heritage Days fair wasn't enough. They had to step it up a notch and make volunteers afraid to be alone at their headquarters.
These are the same people that say Kerry's Purple Hearts were from scratches when he served honorably in Vietnam, while their fearless leader was AWOL from the National Guard. These are the same people that pushed the Patriot Act through but let the assault weapon ban expire. These are the same compassionate people that gave tax breaks to the richest two percent while reneging on No Child Left Behind. These are the same people that sent Americans off to war but wanted to cut combat pay, educational benefits and health care for our armed forces.
All this administration has to offer is fear. They announce that the sky is falling, instruct us to buy plastic sheeting and duct tape, watch our fellow citizens and report suspicious activity. We're told to fear our fellow citizens. They will do whatever it takes to win this election.
From League City to Galveston to Washington, DC, tell the Republicans you've had enough of their scare tactics. Vote!

When Nixon was running for president in the seventies, he had his cronies break into the Watergate to raid the Democratic headquarters. They were later put in prison and Nixon quit the Presidency. The funny thing about it was that Nixon didn't have to have this done, he had won the election. But he was paranoid that he wouldn't be elected.
A recipe for disaster if there ever was one.
Thank God Kerry's campaign is in shambles, his constituency self-disenfranchised, and polls falling by the day.
Rather tried and failed miserably.
