Alabama's famous 'Go to Church or the Devil Will Get You' sign replaced
by a billboard for Lucy Baxley, Alabama's Democratic lieutenant governor who is running for governor. This sign is a famous landmark on Interstate 65 north of Montgomery.

Well-Known Billboard Replaced with Baxley Campaign Sign

Several potential candidates for governor continue to remain coy about their political intentions. But Democratic Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley is making it no secret that she's actively pursuing the state's highest office.

A large red and white sign proclaiming Baxley's candidacy has replaced one of the state's most famous billboards on Interstate 65 north of Montgomery. For years, a large billboard beside a man-made lake on the edge of I-65 north of Prattville has urged motorists to "Go to church or the devil will get you." That billboard has been replaced with a large sign that says "We Love Lucy."

The sign is on property owned by Montgomery road builder W.S. Newell. The property includes two pristine, man-made lakes and for years the "Go to church ..." sign stood by one lake. Newell said Tuesday he put up the new sign to show his support for Baxley.

"Go vote or the GOP will get you". That would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!
