[smokey nj]

1. That is awesome!!

[daleanime]

2. ......

[leftcoastmountains]

3. It's amazing what people are doing.

Everybody has to be more creative due to the media blackout!

[MisterP]

9. seems to be the campaign's theme--"tried to bury us but they didn't know we were seeds" and all that

[marym625]

4. K&R!

Awesomeness!
I wonder how many youngsters don't get the "shave" reference. Though, I only know because my parents told me about it when I was a kid.

[global1]

5. WoW!!!!! Just Like The Burma Shave Signs - This Is What Some Campaign Money Should Be Spent On...

and put these up all over the country. In this mobile society - this would be dynamite.

Feel the Bern!!!!! Go Bernie!!!!!

[jwirr]

17. That could be done by volunteers all over the country.

Anyone know if there is any law against it?

[staggerleem]

43. WoW!!!! Someone else here is old enough to REMEMBER Burma Shave!/nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. I am also old enough to remember seeing those Burma Shave signs! n/t

[libdem4life]

47. Yeah, me too...travelling the hot Midwest every summer on tour. Guess

you had to be born in the 40's?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. Indeed I was, in 1943! n/t

[staggerleem]

50. Well, you've got a decade on me, Peg ...

... but I've seen them too, on an NY-CA car trip with my mom, as "recently" as 1963.

[fbc]

6. well done :)

[appalachiablue]

7. Clever and cute. Bravo!

[bvf]

8. Huge kudos for the folks behind this!

Old-timers like me will appreciate it for the original reference, as well as the message.

If that's lost on anyone younger, it still works just as well.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

14. Lots of old-timers here on the Southern Oregon Coast.

But all the younger ones that I talk to are for Bernie.
Now here in Port Orford 25 miles south of Bandon, where those signs were, is going to have to match them.

[Pastiche423]

24. Can you guess where we are standing?

You may see us down your way, maybe in front of Driftwood Elementary.

Our group is very excited (we've talked about Bernie running for over three years) and we are all OLD.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

40. Looks like your standing in front of Ray's

It was in front of Driftwood that almost a hundred people showed up for an Occupy demonstration, then marched to the Visitor Center and back.

I'm wearing my Bernie tee shirt as I write this.

Let us know what your plans are and we will rally the troops. We are a small but mighty.

[Pastiche423]

44. Yep, we were on 101 in front of the Bandon Shopping Center

I was there for Occupy! We walked to the library afterwards, then to the marina? (lots of boats dry docked).

On Saturday we will be in the Cranberry Festival parade and planning more activities starting next week. What we really would like to do, is set up several Bernie Shaves, plus signs up and down 101.

Since 101 runs from So Cal to Washington State, we should get Sandernistas up and down the West Coast to do the same. Maybe someone could mention it on Reddit, since it has more traffic.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

49. And this is how we start a political revolution.

Signs up and down 101 sounds like a great idea. We need to join forces or at the very least get in contact to coordinate tactics. Any ideas?

[Old Crow]

10. Love it!

Maybe we can pull this revolution thing off after all.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

16. Like I have said before.

Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

Then Bernie will win

[Old Crow]

18. And I think you're exactly right. :) (N/T)

[cantbeserious]

11. Excellent Campaign Signs

eom

[roguevalley]

12. I remember those as a kid. We all looked forward to seeing them. The last one got tipped over.

thank goodness the photog fixed it up. Brilliant idea. So many smart clever folks on our team this election.

[WillyT]

13. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[DrBulldog]

15. Let's do the "Bernie Shave" thing all over the country!

And yet another reason to be proud as an Oregonian.

P.S. - Hey, you golfers, Bandon has one of the top-50 golf courses in the WORLD. It's a beautiful place to enjoy your time.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

22. This state will be going for Bernie.

25 miles south of Bandon is the small town of Port Orford, one of the few towns in the US that voted in an official election to be Patriot Act free.

P.S. - Hey you surfers, Port Orford has some of the best waves on the Oregon Coast

19. Huge Rec

Traveling by car from New York to Iowa in the late 50's to visit grandparents, We
would encounter Burma Shave road placards. They provided a little humorous relief to us kids and parents. Some were a tad off-color as I remember. HAHAHAHA

[jwirr]

20. And don't forget they do not all have to have the same

message. Just stake them along the road like these are.

[DrBulldog]

21. There's a SECOND big message here!

The LAST time we Americans saw these signs on highways everywhere was the 1950s and 1960s - probably the last time America had the greatest middle class in the world. Maybe with Bernie we can get back to those times again.

[SoapBox]

23. LOL

Love that Berners are so creative.

[stage left]

25. That is teriffic!

[CentralMass]

26. What an awesome idea. Thank you.

[rhett o rick]

27. Bravo. nm

[merrily]

28. He's neck deep in the pocket of Big Voter!

Fortunately, that does not require a change in his politics.

[House of Roberts]

29. I might be able to replicate that in my own yard.

I remember the Burma Shave signs from when I was a kid traveling with my folks.

[raouldukelives]

30. That is fantastic!

And for some reason, now I want a Bernie-Shave.

[gregcrawford]

31. I remember...

... seeing old Burma Shave signs when I was a kid in the early fifties. Now I feel REALLY old...

[Babel_17]

32. This level of support is making experts sit up and take notice (nt)

[Disabled15]

33. Might have to copy :)

Hope the original people don't mind. Brandon for Bernie? I'll give them cred. This is so awesome!

[DiehardLiberal]

37. Bandon

[EEO]

34. Awesome.

[KPN]

35. Kudos Patiche ...

from a fellow South Coaster.

Mind if I copycat you up here in North Bend?

Seems like even some of the conservatives around here are Feelin' the Bern!

[Pastiche423]

45. Please do!

I'm going to try to find someone in Coos Bay to do the same. That way we could have them from Port Orford to North Bend.

[Doitnow]

36. Let's expand on this idea.

Couldn't you just visualize signs like these all over the country! Why couldn't Bernie's 12-step economic agenda be used as a theme for these signs! Surely there are poets all around the country who could come up with sayings for such signs. Let your imaginations fly, people!

[sabrina 1]

38. That's a good idea, putting his positions on issues to poetry and posting them all over the country!

There are lots of artists groups 4 Bernie all over Social Media, rap artists too, one rap song eg, has done a pretty good job of doing this.

[hifiguy]

39. Brilliant!

[ChiciB1]

41. LOVE This! Great Idea, But Don't Think We're Allowed

to do this where I live. Any suggestions?

[Roy Rolling]

42. That is the genius of the Bernie Sanders Campaign

Want to relate to an older voter? Talk their language. In a subtle method unique to their life's experience. They appreciate being talked TO, rather than being hollered AT by the likes of right-wing media.

Want to relate to a younger voter? Recognize that the game is rigged and they have been left holding the bag of student loans, decreased employment opportunities, and economic inequality. They understand.

That is the genius of the Bernie Sanders campaign---he is talking everyone's language.
