Reply #20: Maybe because your local campaign office has no more [View All]

[MontecitoDem]

to say about it than you do! I am helping to run our local office and WOW! do people have a lot of complaints. We are all (or mostly) volunteers doing our damndest with no more influence or resources than anybody else on the street.

Perhaps you can make your own? Every campaign out here uses the metal frame now, but you can still get a John Kerry cardboard rally sign from demstore.com and staple it to a wooden stake if you prefer? We made some signs recently:

War is NOT an Energy Policy/Vote Kerry
Pro-Choice = Pro-Kerry
Vote for Planet Earth-Vote Kerry
etc.

For the metal frame, to get the posts in the ground, why not try hammering a long nail in first to pre-drill the holes, then pound the frame in with a hammer? (You have to be careful though to keep from bending the frame.)

We've passed out over 200 signs in my town since our office opened. Some have been repeatedly stolen - so folks come back for new ones.
