Janz campaign signs are disappearing. Wonder who’s behind that?

Andrew Janz is running against Rep. Devin Nunes in the 22nd Congressional District.

I am volunteering for the Andrew Janz campaign to unseat Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Tulare.

I deliver yard signs to the Janz supporters. We also put a larger sign next to a Nunes sign. They are disappearing from public and private yards. Signs are important. Brian Williams on MSNBC “11th Hour” has even mentioned that the candidate who has the most yard signs wins!

We must be making someone very afraid to go to these underhanded lengths to remove or steal Janz signs. This is typical of conservative Republicans, as they are not fair. I want to believe this is not Nunes's campaign volunteers doing this, but I would not put it past them.

They now have a candidate running against him and they are afraid! If it is someone who has no connection to his campaign, what is he or she afraid of? Nunes hides from his constituencies and his supporters are just as cowardly as he is.

If Nunes is not instructing his campaign and supporters as Janz has about not removing or stealing his opponents’ signs then Nunes himself is responsible for this.
