MESSAGE FROM THE FREEWAYBLOGGER

 

Dear Freewaybloggers, Well, it looks like you did it again. Do You Feel a Draft Day was a big success, with a lot more signs going up and for much longer durations. Collectively we reached over ten million people yesterday, and that's a conservative estimate. Great, great work! On November 2nd, it’s “Did You Vote” Day. We are encouraging people to post freeway banners (and smaller freeway signs—I just can’t overemphasize the value of small signs) to encourage people to hit the polls. Of course, if you want to recommend a particular candidate, well, that’s what free speech is all about. You can find out who else is posting in your town by writing me, or checking out the yahoogroup: Freewayblogging-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Remember, every day is Free Speech day and the "Free Speech Zone" in this country extends from sea to shining sea. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise, unless they're a cop, and then I suggest letting them tell you whatever they want and responding with whatever you think they'd like to hear. "Yes Sir!" has always worked well for me. That said, if you’d like to stand on the overpass and HOLD your sign, you are protected under federal law. In the case that you encounter opposition from local law enforcement officials, please contact me and I will work to secure legal representation for you, as well as media coverage. As we and the world wait with baited breath for November 2nd and whatever comes after, I trust you'll keep some cardboard and paint on hand, ready to use at a moment's notice. Free Speech and the ballot are all we have to protect democracy from the Rove's and Ashcrofts of this world, so please vote for the candidates who'll best protect those rights. Until then, I hope you'll join us by using your right to free speech to encourage others to use their right to vote. Thanks Again, All of You... Scarlet P.
