Did you take down your Bernie signs?

For those of you who live in a state that has already had your primary and had a Bernie sign, did you take down your sign after the primary?

I live in IL and still have my Bernie signs up. I'm still supporting him. My sister took hers down since our primary is over. Is it time to take down my signs?

Although the rain has taken about half the paint off.

Maybe would be a good time to re-do / modify it.

I left the Mike Gravel / President sticker on until I sold the car for parts last year.
It's looking like the Bernie 2016 sticker will be much more relevant this Autumn.

The yard sign will stay as long as it's relevant, too.

I think the establishment thought Sanders would suffer the same fate as Gravel; boy were they mistaken!

I just got 3 (more) of the vinyl bag type...was VERY surprised to get them in less than 2 weeks.

Delivery times may vary of course.

Because I live in SC and surrounded by people who like to wear white sheets around and burn the lower case t. When I first moved here from NY the neighbor across the street informed "he did not like colored people from up north(meaning one near Charlotte,NC area ) because they where more uppity than a southern colored.

Just to give you idea of who I have living around me.

People that have to iron their white sheet and hoods to go to formal occasions.

This is why I have a fence made out of brick columns with square pipe between, and an electric gate for the car.
Because we got real tired of panhandlers, people promising to work if we'd just loan them cig & 40 oz. money, yada yada.....RIIIGHT.

Rural people have absolutely no boundaries.

I'll probably make a big Bernie sign on foam core board and put it under the magnolia tree....behind the fence. I did the same thing for Obama in 08 and got screamed at by idiots in pickups screaming "FUCK OBAMA!" as they drove by many times to get their point across.

We are in an active primary season. Our candidate, Bernie, is still working hard everyday. I want to send my energy and support to add it to the collective. I think it matters.

My signs are still up in the yard, car and coat button. When I email friends I sign off with:
Go Bernie!

I just donated again today and look forward to receiving my "Birdie" sticker.

....we apologize for the crappy vote btw.

Mine is still up! I still wear my Bernie hat all over town and the magnet is still on the car.

I am also 5 miles from the WI border so most people here leave their stuff up until after WI votes. Mine is staying up for the long haul.

I wasn't sure if there was any kind of protocol. It would have totally broke my heart to take it down. They are the only signs up within miles. I had Obama signs but I think that was after he was the nominee. Bernie is different.

The ward has taken down all the local primary signs that were up. I'm pretty sure they will come around with more signs the closer to the GE.

I hope my sign makes it to the GE. We've had some wicked winds around here lately. It may be time to buy a back up.

...NY, for example, says that political signs can't be put out more than 30 days prior to an election, and need to come down after (not sure of that time frame). My Bernie sign has been in the yard since last fall, though, and I haven't heard anything about it. And it will stay there. I think the law is more to keep political signs from cluttering up public areas and being left there (like garage sale signs).
