I have an anti Bush sticker on my car. When I vote will I be able

5. That's what I was thinking. He's not running for anything so it'd be o.k.
I don't wanna take it off. It is the nixon - brain = W bumpersticker from Tom Tomorrow.

3. Depends on how stuffy they are
I parked my electric scooter with a W with a line through it sticker on it right outside the plate glass window at the polling place in 2004 and nobody objected. The poll watcher was a pubbie, too. I guess he just didn't look closely.

7. I don't know. I had a sticker for the Dem. Gov. candidate and one for the
Dem. Representative candidate, plus about a half dozen anti-GOP/Bush stickers, and I pulled into the front parking row of the courthouse...went in and voted. Nothing happened to me.

8. I voted early today.
I have an anti Bush sticker on my car too, and I live in redder than blood, North Georgia. The place I voted at today, was packed with voters and noone said a word to me about my sticker. I had the primo spot too, right in front of the library's doors. You couldn't miss it as you walked out into the parking lot.

I use to be nervous about my sticker, but now I'm very confident about it. Now I get a couple of compliments a month on it. I haven't had anyone say anything negative about it since May of '05.

I was amazed at how many people were there today. There was actually a line. One of the poll workers said it had been very steady and building since Monday.

9. I don't think you'll have any problems
If anyone objects just park your car a little further away.

10. I don't think that is allowed. However, I wore my "Blue at heart" hoodie to the polling place
and no one said anything. :evilgrin: I bought it after the '04 election. I doubt anyone got it's meaning.

11. Hand Lettered " IMPEACH BUSH" On The Back Of My Truck
Not political, just me exercising my 1st Amendment right to free speech.
