So childish and pathetic. So the people who claim they are fighting for Janice Daniels' "freedom of speech" are trying to obstruct other peoples freedom of speech? The irony is overwhelming.

My sign disappeared while we were out of town for a few days. Did it just blow off the frame? My other signs were left untouched so I am suspicious. I am in the Long Lake/John R area.

I've been noticing "YES" signs disappearing from prominent thoroughfares while "NO" signs remain. Now I see it is not a coincidence. This reflects so badly on the "NO" recall people, that they would break the law to win.

I don't understand how anyone could misunderstand about whether or not they are a legitimate sign enforcement volunteer with the Planning Department. My husband and I attended not only Citizens Academy, but we also attended training for volunteers, rode along with a city employee for additional training, have picture ID's as city volunteers for sign enforcement. We were told we could ONLY act as sign enforcement volunteers when we were in a city vehicle, during our regularly schedule shift from 9AM to 12 Noon on Saturdays, wearing our city issued photo ID's. We are scheduled in advance by the Planning Department, and there are NO volunteers working on Tuesdays. My husband and I are proud of the work we do for the city. We certainly are aware of the difference we make when we drive through other cities!

A few years back before code enforcement was privatized, I, along with my neighbors and our association directors were told we could remove illegally placed signs in our subdivision. The entrances of our subdivision looked so cluttered during campaign season and that was the #1 complaint from our residents. Not to mention, many times the landscaping on the entrance islands would get trampled. HOWEVER, we were told to be very careful and very considerate while removing signs. It was suggested we contact the candidate first AND have the sign easily available for them to pick it up AND to never throw the sign away. I removed a few illegally placed signs when I was an association director, I contacted the candidate and each time they were very appreciative. Sometimes they have volunteers who place their signs illegally and they were unaware.

According to the story, the accused is saying that he thought he was acting within the law. Assumed innocent until proven guilty, right?

Cheating to win is the only thing Mayor Daniels and her tin hat band of supporters know how to do. I firmly believe they are such zealots they think they are part of some righteous cause, and thus can rationalize their illegal acts and endless deceptions. They would all tell you they are patriots, yet engage in the most un-American behavior possible. Throw the book at this guy...maybe it will teach them a lesson.

Typical Tea Party tactic - shout down the opposition, and muscle them into submission. It's time to rid our government of people seeking to get power, only to neuter the body politic. We need good citizens seeking solutions, not dismantling.

It's interesting that he had a story ready in case he was caught. It's sad that it was so poorly thought out. It's a movement folks. It's win at any cost. It's typical and discouraging at the same time. By the way, word on the street is that the Lipton folks will have a half to a dozen outside volunteers at each polling location to try to sway your vote at the last possible minute. They believe this is a national issue, and not just that they flat out promoted an unqualified person for the position. Again, it's not a conservative of liberal issue. It's not a national issue. It's a local issue, and should remain so, without outside interference.

There are strict rules of engament at the polling booths. You are not allowed to engage with the voters, you have to keep a distance from the entrance, etc. Supporters of the "Yes Recall Daniels" should be there to make sure these rules are enforced.

KW, in addition, you can not be interfered with on your way into the polls. No bribery, menace (heckling) or other corrupt means to influence an elector (voter) or deter the elector in giving their vote. Violation of this law is a felony. If someone insists on stopping you, or harasses you, report it to the poll workers. Or call the police. Use your phone to take pictures of violations. (Election law 168.932 Prohibited conduct)

Tom McMillin's people are stealing Joanna Vanraaphorst signs in Rochester. Sometimes in broad daylight. We have cams on many of the signs now.

While there are many of these political signs I would personally like to remove, the huge difference is I don't. I possess a compass in my moral fiber disaalowing me of such action. I simply do not look at the ones I wish would disappear, and, you know what? They do. Of course, I have been seeing many, many Yes to Recall these days. I do not see any No. Are there any?

When might we find out the rest of this story?

There is now a picture of Janice Daniels and her henchman Minesh Baxi walking with an unidentified man who is carrying a couple of Vote Yes To Recall Janice Daniels signs under his arm which was captured by a recall supporter.
