I personally visited the Placer Country Republican Headquarters today after hearing about a break-in overnight, Saturday into Sunday morning, at the location.

Placer County is the most Republican (registered voters) County in California, more than Orange County. An event like this has Republican workers shocked that it can happen in a community like Roseville, California and Placer County.

The vandals had to break into two separate doors to access the inner office of the complex. Then the vandals broke into the 'interior office complex door' by using a crow bar to pry open the door - doing damage to the lock.

The "political thieves" had to choose between a dozen other doors inside of the complex's hallway. They obviously wanted to break into the Republican Headquarters. Leading many to believe this was all about the data (political speech attack) and not the merchandise.

The thieves stole 12 cell phones, a couple of laptop computers and the main computer containing a hard drive holding over 90,000 addresses, phone numbers and Republican data for tonight and tomorrow's GOTV drive.

The message of the vandals was more in what they DID NOT take, leaving behind a new 36-inch TV, DVD player and an envelope of 'literal cash' collect the previous day during a canvassing of the cities of Roseville and Rocklin. The cash was in the open and ignored.

Speaking with GOP County Chairwoman Cindi Sherrod, "This will surely put us back of few hours in our effort to communicate and contact this county for President Bush. We'll just forget about sleeping for tonight and do what we can to get the job done within 72 hours."
