10. I reuse my signs for as long as they are in good shape, so I'd have to come up with something else

I re-used my Obama signs because, well, they were so damn hard to come by! And my Congressman and Senators never changes their signs, from election to election, so they are usually good for a couple of terms.

I hope Clinton/Kaine signs will be easier to come by! My former congressman, Dale Kildee, was my 'source' for my Obama signs. I can probably turn to my new congressman, his nephew, Dan, if necessary. They are old family friends.
