Anybody here with legal expertise? Want to do a little civil disobedience but have a question.
Some of our local megachurches have been following the leads of the crazy-ass huge mega churches and advocating voting for John McCain.

I would love to buy up a mess of Obama/Biden signs and drive around in the early morning hours on a Sunday morning and plant those signs in front of the church signs, near the entrances to the church parking lots, etc...

The only think making me hesitate is the potential risk of being arrested for trespassing. Could something like that be considered trespassing? I'm not destroying anything.

Whaddya think?

Yep, tresspassing
Destroying something would be vandalism. Phone bank instead

1. Stay on the public sidewalk.

2. Report the churches who are advocating one candidate to the IRS
Turn the bastards in. Make them lose their tax exempt status.

3. That's the best idea!
See if you can get some photos or other evidence.

5. Recorded sermons
Many of these churches proudly record their services on CD or even DVD.

They think some one will want to listen or watch them from home. Get one, find the evidence within and submit to IRS

4. Maybe you can check your local ordinances?
Here in Jersey, the sidewalk to the street, is considered public property. It's just a thought.

I'm no lawyer, so this is only a suggestion.
