Illinois woman fighting to keep 'Impeach President Trump Now!' lawn sign



Illinois woman fighting to keep ‘Impeach President Trump Now!’ lawn sign

A 94-year old woman in Elgin, Ill., is fighting with town officials to keep a lawn sign that reads “Impeach President Trump Now!”

WGN reported Tuesday that Myra Becker was told the sign was too large.

"I can’t protest anymore and I’m not great on the walker for doing things. I could put a sign up is what I could do,” Becker told the Chicago TV station.

Becker has been a lifelong Democrat, but said she has voted for Republicans in the past — but not Trump. She wants him impeached.

“I think the Republican Congress people are wimps,” Becker added.

No one's going to jail or having their home invaded.

It's bigger than the town code allows, so she ordered a smaller one to replace it. And it's only a $50 fine, anyway.

It's the Trumpian neighbor who seems to be more of a problem.

Of signs, she should put 100 small ones in her yard.

In fact, I suspect with a proper GoFundMe page, she can afford a much MUCH bigger sign.

Just sayin'.
