Signs In Your Yard?
48

How many of you have signs in your yard to support your candidate? The reason why I'm asking is because on my particular street there are NO SIGNS at all for either candidate. I got my 'Obama for President' sign a week ago and I am hesitant to put it up. Am I being to cautious? Feedback please!

I have my Obama sign up.....but then again my closest neighbor is a mile away....lol. No one has bothered it....and I live in rural Indiana. I say put it up. If violence against Obama supporters becomes an issue...then I would suggest not displaying your affiliation openly.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I'm going to put it up tomorrow before I go to work, I paid for it might as well. I live in Hampton Roads Virginia, it's straight up Mccain/Palin country based on the huge military presence we have. On my way to work I see Mccain signs everywhere, it's actually hard to believe this state is leaning blue.

Heh....it's funny you should say that. I live in Indiana and I never thought I would see the day that we were considered a swing state or even that it was slightly in question that the republican nominee would carry this state.

I live in a conservative neighborhood (judging from all the McCain/Palin signs), but I've got Obama/Biden and a "No on 8" sign (Prop 8 is the proposed constitutional amendment in CA that would remove the right of same sex couples to legally marry).

We put our Obama sign up before the DNC and so far we're on our 3rd. ;o) I bought it in triplicate cause I knew it would be stolen or trashed. Each time I smiled & proudly set up the new one hoping whoever stole the other would see. ;o) This one seems to be sticking around a while. Maybe they gave up? Just the other day our cross-the-street neighbor (older couple) put up their McCain sign. Apparently our county is going Obama but it's just as close as the national polls. Not that I worry.. NY is permanently blue. :o)

I say don't be afraid.. put it up and maybe someone else who has been hesitating in your neighborhood will put up theirs as well no matter which sign it is ;o) It's the ripple effect... whichever candidate people are supporting I love seeing signs in yards b/c it means we are taking our right to vote seriously and we should all, whatever party, be proud of that. :o)
