Yard signs are an important way of spreading the word about an election. I hope candidates use them.

Sabra Briere’s signs have already started appearing.

I appreciate the effort that the Chronicle has shown in these debate articles to present a full discussion of each issue, not just a report of what was said at the debate.

Cosmonican, I have seen some Anglin signs in prominent places and Mike did send out another postcard coincident with our receiving absentee ballots. I’m sure that complacency has not set in. On the other hand, this good discussion shows the value of having competitive elections so that issues can be discussed. I wish that Mike would take a more critical stance on the (taxpayer-funded) art question. (He got my vote anyway.)

Open letter to Mike Anglin:

Maybe I didn’t get the memo, I don’t know, but after the August primary, all the yard signs were duly removed, and I expected them to be returned in time for the election coming up in November. That hasn’t happened in my yard, and I hardly see any signs for anyone, anyplace else for that matter.

Let’s not get complacent about the election yet, Mr. Anglin. It is less than three weeks away, I have already voted, and mailed my own absentee ballot in. Others may do the same, without benefit of a reminder of who you are.

Some folks are in the mood to vote the bums out, whoever they are, some are just plain ignorant, or lazy, or whatever way you may characterize them…you need to educate people about who you are. Get the signs out.

I’m happy to say I voted for you Mike, don’t make me regret it.
