I am pleased to hear that the 9th Ward Republican leader shares my distaste for those who steal political lawn signs ("From accusations to action: The 9th Ward GOP responds," Local, Sept. 26).

I agree wholeheartedly that free speech and open discussion are vital to our democracy. Lawn signs are one way of expressing support for a candidate or cause, and it is unfortunate that some person or persons decided to swing through our ward in the darkness of night and remove lawn signs supporting our Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

As former Vice President Dick Cheney has said, "There has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump." I wholeheartedly agree.
