1. To say what?
It's not going to change their vote, right? Just to piss them off?

3. Send a letter saying... what?
I don't understand what you hope to accomplish by this.
Perhaps some more information would help.

6. A relative has a Kerry sign and someone left him this note:
"Please reconsider supporting John Kerry. He supports blue color labor unions." -- unsigned.

8. Please don't do this
Those are hardcore Republicans. Sending a letter is only likely to get them more riled up. We should just ignore them.

10. I haven't seen any Bush/Cheney signs in Chicago
but that's pretty typical, since we have no real race for either President or U.S. Senate. We have had no TV ads here either, other than on the national shows.

11. No...only piss people off. Piss off the right people..do this instead....
Go to the DailyKos Sinclair page. Target and monitor advertisers listed there. Scroll to "advertiser responses" for good news.
DailyKos Sinclair page

Bump this DU topic
which will be seen by Sinclair sales people. Let them know what you've done and how you feel.

13. Tape flyers from bigpath.net on the utility poles near their houses
At the very least, the people walking by should know that there's more than one side to the story:

16. Here's a better idea
Pretend you're a fellow supporter and compliment them on their sign, then bake them a pan of poison brownies.

17. No. They have a right to express their preferences.
Just as we have a right to express ours. I believe in at least trying to maintain civility. I know we don't see much of it, but I do try. The people to target are the ones who don't have any signs at all, the ones who maybe aren't paying attention.

18. that's why i said maybe the houses around them...
It wouldn't be hard to come up with a list of pro/con to guide them toward the correct path.

or we could just send them to factcheck.com.
