Here's how it works:
When you put a sign on the freeway people will read it until someone takes it down.
Depending on its size, content and placement
it can be seen by hundreds of thousands of people.

1. a most excellent post

and welcome to DU :hi:

2. It is illegal to post signs on interstates and free ways. That being said

be careful if you are going to do it. Emergency lanes on the sides of roadways are dangerous. Try not to get run over.

Also, I doubt the sign would last long. I know during elections every once and a while someone will put a sign on an interstate or ramp. People start calling on cell phones complaining before the darn thing is nailed in the ground.

3. even if it is up for 15 minutes think of how many drivers would see it.

Also, catwalks are great.

8. you can also put the signs on the access roads that run parallel to the

interstate and face the signs towards the interstate or main roads.

[SouthernDem2004]

15. True, make them a little larger though.

4. AKA Littering

Fine up to $500 or up to one year in jail or both.

6. God Forbid

the brave voices of dissent litter up the highways of america for a few days. $500 is a small price to pay for such bravery. Year in jail, might suck a bit.

9. i'll bet if it were pro bush signs, there would be no punishment at all.

[SouthernDem2004]

17. That makes no sense. Bush does not control every state, every county and

every city. Give it a rest...

[burn the bush]

26. I would bet that if i was putting up bush signs, i would be let go.

yes. that is true.

so, no I will not give it a rest.

[SouthernDem2004]

16. Actually I do not think it would quailfy as littering.

5. You can also do it on a smaller scale

by pasting up posters along busy sidewalks.

Click on the image or link (click me)below to see my collection. I print out several of each, shuffle them to make them random, then paste and pin them up as I walk. I do it at night to give time for the paste to dry before they are exposed to a lot of traffic.

I usually do the four per sheet because the flyers fit in my pocket. I put the paste in a spray bottle.

7. These Are Nice

thanks for the link.

[alfredo]

11. thank you.

pass the link on, Copy them, alter them as you see fit. You can erase the words and put in your own.

If you don't have a good image editor, you can download GIMP for free. from

10. very good and part of my personal plan as well.

[alfredo]

12. We are the media

It is up to each of us to spread the word any way we can.

[SouthernDem2004]

18. Lol, now that might be considered vandalism or malicious mischief...

pendeing on where you are putting them.

[alfredo]

24. Do check local laws, and obey them.

If you feel it is worth the risk, you do it. If you don't you won't. Our city has Kiosks just for such things.

[burn the bush]

27. so, sitting on our ass has done nothing

with the desparate state of the country and the world because of the shrub admin, I say quit worrying about minor infractions. I might be littering but I am not out to destroy the world.

everyone put your signs everywhere,more people will follow. We can't use the media so use what we can. Put signs everywhere.

13. Gas Pump blogging has begun too.....

and welcome to DU!

[unsavedtrash]

20. I saw that thread. Also very smart idea.

[goodboy]

14. Also, by using a big Sharpie, you can cross out the "w" on people's

bumper stickers, and get them to finally take it off their gas guzzling SUV.

[SouthernDem2004]

19. That would be vandalism. :)

[goodboy]

22. well if I can be arrested for crossing out a "w" sticker, then so be it.

[burn the bush]

28. duh, so they can sue for 1.99 damage to the god damned sticker

[SouthernDem2004]

31. No, you would be arrested for damaging some elses property.

[burn the bush]

32. pul-lease you would not be arrested for damaging the bumper sticker.

the guy would have to sue you himself. Now if you marked on the car itself, then yeah the police would arrest you. I doubt they will drag you downtown for marking out the W. Hell just deny it. No one could verify that you did it even if they watched you do it. They would not be able to see in detail what was done, therefore they would not be allowed to testify to it.

[SouthernDem2004]

34. Nice world you live in but in this one a witness is more then enough.

Hey, if you want to lie in court under oath.... well thats nice.

[burn the bush]

35. a witness would not be able to say Yes I saw them put that particular mark

there. They might see them bend down to the car. They might see them appear to mark on the sticker but still they could not say that the mark was done by you. I know this is to be true because my daughter had 2000.00 damage done to her car over a period of 3 nights. Even though they watched them do it, they still could not prove that when they went to the car, they were scratching gang signs on it. The boys confessed but no money was given to cover the car. That would have to be settled in a civil suit.

and yes, i think i would not be stupid enough to say "yep i did that" if a cop did ask. I would not be lying under oath because it would never ever get to court.

quit acting like u are holier than thou or whatever

ooh its against the law to put a mark on his bush bumper sticker. Please, we will get no where with no balls at all. (as the dems have proven too well lately)

[SouthernDem2004]

37. Hey, I was just telling you how it is... and no I do not vandalize

anything. Have fun.

[Lone_Wolf]

36. You can also get plain bumper stickers or decal stock paper...

...and print what you want on it and then place it next to the pro-chimp bumper sticker. I'd suggest something like "Hey Copper! F.U. and your ticket too!"

[unsavedtrash]

21. the idea is to get out and do something

If you are worried about littering, then go back to the site and pick up any trash. We just have to get up and do SOMETHING.:rant:

[norml]

23. Sign Idea: "WAR MAKES GAS COST MORE"

It's what I've got printed on my protest sign.

[unsavedtrash]

25. one of mine ------> 18 U.S. soldiers per gallon

[norml]

30. However it's false that war gets us the gas. It takes it off the market,

driving prices up, especially when the war is where the oil is. Only those companies that get the contracts, the oil industry, and those invested in oil win. Your sign feeds into the false propaganda that this is getting us oil in any way.

[burn the bush]

33. also very nice

[burn the bush]

29. very good. It shows them how it directly effects them

these simple messages if posted all over your town and mine and everybody elses will eventually catch on and spread. Most people aren't even aware there is a problem. Keep repeating the neg bush messages and they will start to pick up on them.
