If you’re running for office and you’re not stealing signs, do you even really want to be elected?

We need statesmen not scammers.

Here’s a Normal Citizens Duty within that Jurisdiction ... File a Complaint with TCOLE. The Scammer/Elected Official is a cop right? Why not have a constituent file the complaint for revocation of his license as a peace officer in Texas. Forget him being an elected official, this guy can arrest you for whatever. Why not pull that card and get him an administrative fine and or license revocation?

See Form Link Below...

https://www.tcole.texas.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Complaint%20Report%20Form_Licensee.pdf

Then send to: complaintrequest@tcole.texas.gov

Who complains to a party for a censure, when you can remove the guy’s paycheck and or retirement!!!

Stealing is a character flaw. Sadly, when it comes to politicians, stealing a sign is light stuff. There are politicians all across the country who are enriching themselves with lobbyist money, insider trading tips, and other perks that end up making them wealthy. Perhaps we should end those budding venal careers by starting with strong penalties for sign stealers.

Boy oh boy... I thought only DemocRATS chose candidates with criminal tendencies. It would appear RepubliCANTS choices are becoming just as bad.

The SREC shouldn't tolerate sign stealing. Unless it was their consultant of choice that made the signs..That way they can make more money replacing the signs.

If it's PaleHorse they will be crucified. If it's any of the other money hungry consultants they'll get a pass. Because they're not PaleHorse.

Who on the SREC is tolerating sign stealing?

Expand full comment

None that I'm aware of. But they tolerate shady consultants as long as it's not PaleHorse.

As long as it's their guy milking money from candidates it's ok.

Where's the consistency in holding all the snakes accountable?

Get $$$ out of politics.

"Shady consultant" is redundant. Seriously. You pay them money for the opportunity to pay some other money to their friend's businesses. They use the same tactics on the candidates that they'll use on their candidate's constituents because fear sells. "you don't stand a chance of winning without our help....!" "It's impossible to win a race without raising and spending big money" . "now.... give me (and my friends) all your money"

Yep! And there's the aspect of "Use us again next election cycle or we will use what we know against you to help another opposing candidate."
