I'm sorry, but I can't take it anymore! Is it just me or are there more candidate signs littering our town this year than before? We're supposed to be going green, yet we are wasting thousands of dollars on candidate signs plastered on every corner and every light.Are they going to be recycled?

Candidates, do you seriously think I am going to vote for you because I see your name on a board? I'm sure if we knew each other, I would have already known you were running.So if I'm reading your name on a board at the stop light, I still have no freaking idea who you are!

Why not be different? Put a picture on the board so I at least know who you are when I see you on the streets so we can have a conversation about your goals.Why not send me an e-mail? Why not send something in the mail and tell me about yourself.Be different. Don't follow the monkeys whoput up signs just because someone else did it.

And stop putting your signs on private property when you don't have permission to do so! It's littering, and trespassing!Whew, I feel better.Thanks!
