Signs attacking Kerry going up all over Tulsa Oklahoma
Signs have been put up all over Tulsa attacking Kerry. This link http://64.176.73.100/OKDemocrat/posts/79749.html#79749 is a picture of the signs.

If they are doing it here, they will do it every where. Get ready folks.

9. It says...
"Kerry is Unfit for Command" and lists the (not so) Swift Vets web address.

Yellow paper (letter size) with black lettering, stapled to a utility pole.

6. Hey... I have a printer too.
For Oklahoma it isn't so suprising. When we were there last weekend, the Kerry signs in the public right-of-ways had been stomped down. I stopped and stood them back upright. When I drove by again the next day, they were stomped down again.

41. I'll reply,
I'd take down every goddamn lying sign in the country if I could. You should post some around me so I can take 'em down. Maybe you could witness it and try to do something about it.

Go shopping for a clue.

1) a month or so ago, a homeless man was acquited of murder after defending himself from unprovoked attack by a brass-knuckle wielding bar owner. Townspeople started sporting "Fuck The Homeless" t-shirts.

2) in the 1920's, the largest race-riot in history ended with the total destruction of what was called the "black wall-street"--the largest concentration of black owned property and wealth in the country.

on edit: i'm glad i moved.

25. hmmm
In some cities it's illegal to post notices on telephone and utility poles. You might check Tulsa's municipal code, and if it's not legal there (and I suspect it isn't), contact your local DA's office. If this posting is sponsored by the swiftvets, he might bring charges against the organization.

Photograph as many as you can and note the addresses on a map. The more they post, the more counts can be added to the complaint.

Fight fire with fire.

39. Reports from several towns in Eastern Oklahoma
We are getting calls and e-mails from towns throughout Eastern Oklahoma and we are taking them down as fast as they go up. This might be more wide spread than we know.

42. There are also yard signs in Nowata
That say, "Kerry wants to take your guns away.
Save the 2nd Amendment, vote Bush" Or something like that. Apparently people are now believing that Kerry is against gun rights. He should do a "Sportsmen for Kerry" sign like Carson's.

45. "LYING BUSH REPUBLICANS SAY"
"JOHN KERRY IS UNFIT FOR COMMAND"

The first part of their sign didn't print out properly. You could, in the spirit of cooperation, fix their mistake.

47. Those signs are possibly in violation of election laws
I don't know what the laws are in OK, but in FL and most other places there are specific rules that apply to political signs.

Usually it is required to state clearly in small print who sponsored and paid for the signs.

I would call your local board of elections and report these signs to them.

Also, since the SBV's are a 527 they are subject to the same sign laws as the candidates.
