Shocking Revelation

Chapel Hill, North Carolina, November 3, 2008:

Libby Lee of Chapel Hill was tired of someone stealing Ron-Brad campaign signs from her yard. Lee, with a degree in electrical engineering from Lafayette College (Easton, Pa.), hooked up a third sign to a power source for an electric pet fence Friday and also put up a surveillance camera.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that a 9-year-old boy with an McCain-Palin sign grabbed the Ron-Brad sign and got a jolt on Sunday.

The boy's father, Andrew Noble, upset that his son had been shocked, showed up at Lee's door. Soon an Orange County sheriff's deputy also showed up at Lee's home.

Noble said his son just wanted to see how the sign was put together. Lee said the boy intended to swap out the signs.

Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass said he doesn't plan to file charges.

Underdogs Ron and Brad are running on the Ronatarian Party ticket. The party is based in New Jersey.
