Where can I get a HUGE yard sign
I've looked on Obama's site and they just sell the regular ones.

I'm in a swing state (Missouri)

I live on a major street, with 3 lanes of thick traffic each way

I don't care about zoning. Obama will be getting sworn in before the City gets around to telling me to pull it.

Thanks in advance.


BTW, I've called the local folks and haven't' received a call back.

1. Why don't you ask the local folks
for a number to call the national organization in Chicago?

3. When I volunteered in the local Dem office in 2004,
we had large Kerry signs but the challenge was finding someone with good visibility to put it up. I'd say try your local folks again.

4. When you put it up
make sure you put a video camera focused on the sign ...

You're sure to get a lot of attacks on it from righties ... if you can, you can submit the vid to the police ... however, if you're in a "red" area, I doubt the police would pay much attention, even if you get a clear pic of the person's face and their license plate ...

5. I made a 4' by 4' wooden one for my yard after my 'official' yard sign was stolen. I just spray
painted a piece of 1/4" plywood dark blue and hand painted the Obama symbol and the words "OBAMA '08" on it. Attached it to a fence post driven into the ground with electrical ties. It's setting about 5 feet behind my fence and next to a 'Beware of the dogs' sign!

I think the site had the word Victory in it. I can't remember....

We've got it tied to our massive eucalyptus tree and it's got great visibility.

It reads: Obama '08
HOPE ACTION CHANGE
