Peter Frampton is fired up over the repeated theft of Barack Obama yard signs on his suburban Cincinnati property. The rocker blasted the culprits for "breaking the law" because his presidential pick "bugs them so much."

"They are frustrating my attempt to use my First Amendment right to speech, and political speech is supposedly the most protected," Frampton told the Cincinnati Enquirer this week.

The singer's first sign lasted for three days before being stolen. A second sign lasted a week. "I put up some more signs, and they are still there today, but I don't hold out much hope," Frampton said. As the interview was being conducted, a third sign disappeared.



Frampton was born in England, but decided to become a U.S. citizen following the Sept. 11 terror attacks. "The reason I became a citizen is because I wanted to be able to vote and be part of being an American," he said. But, Frampton said the thefts are actually helping the Obama campaign, not hurting it.

"The more they steal my signs, the more I have to donate to my candidate to get more signs," he said. "There is an anti-productive thing to their cause."

He's installed a video surveillance camera so he can catch the sign snatcher(s).
