Billboard Ideas???
What laws are there regarding billboards?

I'm thinking of getting one. ... at least for a month. I want to put something out there that really drives the Bush voters nuts.

Please help?

"No WMD's, No 9/11 link, No Osama bin Laden, worst jobs record in 70 years, record deficits, increase in terrorist attacks, thousands of innocent Iraqi women and children dead -- ACCOUNTABILITY??? -- W , YOUR President"

I am also thinking of doing a comparison board between Clinton's record and Bush's record.

1. "Republicans did this"
A simple phrase, over photos of massacred women & children in Iraq, or torn up African tundra, headlines talking about job loss, layoff, public health care cancellations, etc....

4. Good one...
I would love to put images of massacred women & children, but somehow I don't think anyone would let me. I do like the idea of headlines with the "REPUBLICANS DID THIS" title.

2. Good luck getting someone to even put it up.
Billboards are just as much "Main Stream Media" as any other media,
and subject to most of the same content-censoring.

Talking about limp penises? Okay.

Talking about big pricks in the Whitehouse? Right out!

There is an unconfirmed thread here at DU about Bush tactics with billboards:

6. billboards
Billboard advertising is fairly expensive. Go for it if you can afford it. If I could afford to make up small corner signs I would distribute these all over my city with a few of my favorite expressions such as "The corporate takeover of our democracy may not be such a good idea".

The big corporations may make most mass media very expensive, but cheaper grassroots media can still get your message out to quite a few people.

7. I almosted defaced a billboard last night.
It was one of those God's messages billboards.

It said: "Follow Me" Signed ~God

I was going to changed it to "Bush doesn't Follow Me"
