Ask them if this is true?

the first number and the young lady was speechless if I asked if this was true.

She became speechless after I told her I was a DEMOCRAT!

...and pathetic.

Don't act like we just didn't protest a fund raiser for Allen in Mount Vernon.  Come on - Which I thought was silly.

...The folks who protested the fund raiser were in public space protesting Bush and Allen in person.

This email looks to be recruiting to cause trouble at private homes where the candidate will not be. This hints at intimidation.

Very different...

there were both Republicans and Democrats peacefully carrying signs. This e-mail is calling for Republicans to enter private homes with the intent, apparently, of disrupting the proceedings!  Totally different.

If they do this on private property, call the police and have them arrested.  Put some cameras or webcams out, so you can record them putting signs in the yards.  Then post it on youtube, so we can all see it!

If Allen supporters want to put signs in their yards, that's ok. If they want to peacefully assemble or express their views in accordance with their First Amendment rights, I defend that right-- even though I disagree with what they say-- provided that they do not break the law or disrupt our event.

Were I hosting a Webb party, I'd personally invite my neighbors, and talk with them about the election. I believe that is the first and best line of defense against Allen encrouchment.

As part of the protest near the recent Allen/Bush fundraiser in Mt. Vernon, I can say:

1) We were on public property
2) We did not impede traffic or disrupt proceedings
3) We cooperated fully with law enforcement/security
4) There were Allen supporters at the same site, and partisans on each side were basically civil to one another

On the other hand, if they plan to come to our events and disrupt them from within, that would certainly be unacceptable.

So what is their plan, Lowell, and exactly what is it that you expect us to do in response?

Ray, I think the email was suggesting putting signs in WEBB house party hosts' yards.  That is definitely not legal.

I misread this email.

When they included the phrase "during this event" I assumed that they were encouraging people to put signs in yards at houses where the parties were happening, but maybe I am misreading the intent there....I hope so!

That was one POORLY written email!

I'm just passing along the e-mail so that everyone knows about it.

I thought that they meant to canvass the neighborhood, find neighbors sympathetic to Allen, and get them to post signs. THAT would be ok, in my book.

You could interpret it to mean sticking signs in people's lawns without their consent-- THAT would be bad.

Yes, it's a poorly worded email, but the message is still plainly evident:

When Webb is having an event at someone's home, get volunteers out to knock on doors in the neighborhood -- find nearby homes who will put Allen signs in their yards.  Show anyone going to the Webb event that they're in Allen country.

But y'all go ahead and wait for the Allen folks to illegally put signs onto private property without the owner's permission.  That's a really good idea.  And call the police, too.  Yeah -- great plan.

I presume you saw this?

"Subject: Fwd: You are invited to crash a House Party for Jim Webb!!!"

In other words, this, guy is advocating that Allen supporters "crash" into PRIVATE homes, after crossing PRIVATE property.  Gee, I could have sworn that Republicans respected private property and private homes.  Guess not.
