Peter Frampton Furious At Obama Sign Theft
Rocker Peter Frampton is wishing someone would show him the way to keep his Barack Obama yard signs from getting swiped.
The Grammy winner is complaining that signs showing his preference for the Democratic presidential candidate have been stolen repeatedly at his home in the upscale and predominantly Republican Cincinnati suburb of Indian Hill.
Frampton, 58, is so angry, he called The Cincinnati Enquirer asking to be interviewed.
The British-born singer of "Show Me the Way" and other hits told the newspaper that one reason he became a U.S. citizen was so he could vote. Now, he says his American rights to free speech and political speech are being violated and it "bugs" him.
Frampton said he has installed a video camera to catch the thieves.

It appears to me that the republican replys are of the "So what, who cares" nature. Bet they would sing a different tune if someone broke into their garage and stole their vehicle.
These are criminal acts against Democratic supporters, there''s been a lot of that in my home area.
DJs and campaign organizers please play it more especially on lead up to Election Day!
Barack Obama has successfully shown us the way to hope and change.
Sounds like an outstanding and fitting theme song for every Obama 08 victory party and post election event across a country.
Undoubtedly missing signs are being removed as collectors items by farsighted or enterprising souvenir hunters who want to secure their own iconic piece of winning US history.
United States is an open and free democracy, so any other explanation to hinder lawful political expression would be criminal or UnAmerican in nature.
