<div dir="ltr">Hello all, </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I want to ensure that Roy's email does not draw responses rooted in political commentary. Recall that we have a strictly enforced "no politics" rule on the Listserv with a "three strikes you're out" policy. Anyone who attempts to advance political
aims or discussions on the Listserv will be subject to the policy and we will put you on moderate mode, which means your posts are reviewed before being released. Attempting to email something that violates the rules three times will result in removal from
the Listserv. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">As to Roy's email, we view it as a request for signs not to be stolen from his property and not political in nature. Regardless of what political leaning you have, I think we can all agree that signs should not be stolen. With all of the Ring
and other cameras we have in the neighborhood, I can't imagine that one of our neighbors would do such a thing and risk being publicly outed for doing so. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Let's please have this be the end of the discussion. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thanks,</div>

SOLE INDIVIDUAL, is not only a blatant disregard for the law but also an affront to the democratic principles we should all hold dear.</span></p>

signs are a form of free speech, protected under the First Amendment</span></a>. By stealing these signs, these criminals are not just committing theft; they are attempting to silence the voices of fellow citizens. It was obvious the political persuasion
of the individual, because one particular sign of a right-leaning presidential candidate was left untouched throughout the neighborhood. And for the record, my right leaning neighbors have the same right as me, a left of center person, to express their opinion
on their property.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: roboto; color: rgb(17, 17, 17);">This kind of behavior is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms by ALL. It is a cowardly act that reflects poorly on our neighborhood and our commitment to democratic values. If the
perp is on here (and I have reason to believe he is), and we have you on camera, I urge you to consider the consequences of your actions and to respect the rights of others to express their political beliefs freely and without fear of retribution. AND RETURN
EVERYONE’S DAMN SIGN TODAY, and I won’t prosecute! If not, I will post your truck, face, and file with Dallas PD.</span></p>

tolerated.</span></p>
