Some Fort Bend County Democrats are angry over a two-man sign campaign underwritten by Republican Andy Meyers, Precinct 3 County Commissioner.

Democrats say messages on some of the signs crossed a line and are offensive. Meyers said the signs were intended to put the local Republican Party on the offense instead of the defense.

The first sign, which appeared near early voting location Macario Garcia Middle School in Sugar Land, said "Encourage Terrorists – Vote Democrat." Another, which appeared near Fort Bend County GOP headquarters on U.S. 90A, said "Want More Illegals? Vote Democrat!"

Meyers explained that he decided to create the sign campaign along with political consultant James Pressler because he was concerned that his party’s local candidates have been on the defensive, and he wants people to know the consequences if Democrats get into power. The Democrats’ national stance toward security, taxes and immigration prompted the idea for the sign campaign. Also, Pressler said the intent was to find something to help counter the “Had Enough? Vote Democrat” campaign.

Apparently these signs are still up.
