Blog: Carlsbad City Truck Witnessed Removing All Political Signs But Farrah Douglas's

This morning a worker for the Dick Eiden congressional campaign witnessed a Carlsbad city truck removing all campaign signs from the medians of 101 in Carlsbad *except* those for Farrah Douglas.

This morning at 8:40, a worker for the Dick Eiden congressional campaign witnessed a Carlsbad city truck removing all campaign signs from the medians of 101 in Carlsbad *except* those for current city council member Farrah Douglas who is running for state assembly (obviously don't vote for her if you value democracy, presuming she was behind this, and don't vote for her anyway as her politics are atrocious).

This is a clear violation of equal protection and can't possibly be legal. The truck's license plate was 1266053 and the truck number was Z198.  Over the past few days Eiden signs have been targeted repeatedly, including by Cal Trans, which has admitted to taking down many of them from freeway exits but refused to return them to the campaign, while at the same time leaving the signs of other candidates undisturbed. In many cases the Eiden signs were right next to others but his were the only ones removed.

What sort of government is this where such violations could be openly perpetrated by official institutions? Surely not one of which the founders of the United States would be proud.

Hopefully there will be accountability and consequences for these illegal actions. Meanwhile, readers, please don't give the perpetrators any more power by voting for them! And please vote for Dick Eiden who will work to put a stop to such nonsense. http://eiden4congress.net
