True, but if the law states...signs can't vote!<br /><br />True, but if the law states that signs cannot be displayed more than 60 days before an election, then so be it.

If these folks understood the purpose and placement of that very spot by our town's founders, maybe they would have a greater appreciation for the positive role of politics in community life.<br /><br />By the same token, I do have to allow for those among my critics whose objection is to my style, not my message.

The fact is POLITICS is IMPORTANT and lawn signs create opportunities to talk about politics. The widespread, but very wrongheaded notion that politics isn't "family friendly" or that it's just a bunch of pols begging for votes is part of the reason Americans know less about their government and political system than any other industrialized country.<br /><br />The more signs the better! it's not just a right, it should be part of our responsibility as citizens to encourage and celebrate political participation.Jerold Duquettehttp://www.jeroldduquette.orgnoreply@blogger.com
