PVE Obama sign set on fire
John Dowsing gave this update today to his ongoing sign-stealing, obscene-phone call saga related to his campaign lawn signs supporting democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama:
"At about 10 p.m. [Tuesday night], we heard about 100 reasonably good-sized firecrackers going off, and saw a small fire underneath the Obama for president sign. Had he not had the firecrackers, it would have burned the sign. But the firecrackers put out the fire."
Dowsing also reported receiving two more rambling and derogatory phone calls to his home and work last night and today. The man, who spoke with a drawl and sounded "disoriented," threatened to do things of a violent, sexual nature to Dowsing for his presidential pick.
