1. Well, find another place for it...
...on a fence line they do not control. They *do* have the right to control their overpasses.

2. too bad but
I bet a lot of folks saw it in that 1 hout and 5 min.s
Well worth it-also post it around Freeway blogger ETC.
I put up a few more little post it notes today at Walmart etc. - I just keep them in the car-found a nice LARGE pack of rectangular shaped ones -perfect for writing IMPEACH on- and I just keep droppimg them around- they do no harm, but might do some good.

5. I send pics to Scarlet at freewayblogger often.
Not too long ago, we had six pics on the first page. Did you happen to catch our "BUSH SHAMES AMERICA" blog?

3. Busted? Busted for what? Removing graffiti/vandalism?
Edited on Sat Jul-08-06 08:28 PM by Rabrrrrrr
Just cuz they remove something - as is their right and their duty - that you (or I) agree with doesn't mean they're "busted". It means they're doing their job. No different than if they removed a banner that had "NIGGERS GO HOME!" or "NO VOTE FOR WOMEN!"

6. I find it interesting that any message of dissent is removed,
while feel-goodies like "Welcome Home Lance Corporal xxx" are allowed to remain. What makes one banner graffiti and the other not? Political correctness?

7. Put some white lithium grease around the edges of the banner
It's harmless, but it makes removing them messy and unpleasant.
