Dr. Jack Parker, a professor at Florida International University, finished phone banking for Senator Barack Obama at 9:30 p.m. Monday night, and early this morning he was at Crossings Country Club continuing his volunteer campaigning.
With an FIU cap and a Hawaiian shirt layered over his Obama 08' tee, Parker said that on Halloween night his lawn signs supporting Obama and Biden were stolen from his corner lot and run over.
The next day, after sending out an e-mail to his neighborhood association and friends, the signs were found on another resident's lawn. "I knew they were mine because they were all bent and tire marked."
Parker put his signs back up that Saturday afternoon and removed a handful more from his trunk to pitch on the grass across from the Crossings Country Club.
"I'm a college advisor and democratic leader at FIU," he continued, "and I campaigned for Robert Kennedy in 1968. The progress is remarkable."
