To the Editor:

I parked my car at the Roth Center on Wednesday at 9 a.m. to attend Jewish services on Yom Kippur. When I returned to my car after sunset, my Romney/Ryan 2012 decal sticker had been removed from my car. Not only is this vandalism of private property, it was clearly intended to silence political speech and to mute public display of support for Mitt Romney. I am extremely disappointed that someone found it appropriate to telegraph to Romney supporters (Jewish or otherwise) that they are not welcome at the Roth Center on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. For the sake of political culture on campus, I hope this act of intimidation remains an isolated incident.

Sincerely,

Daniel Bilar Th'03 (PhD)
