The one thing this area doesn't need is a Congressman who stages publicity stunts claiming that he "didn't know the procedure" to see how to go about obtaining a permit.

If anything else, Vernon has tried to position himself as a knowledgable, articulate candidate who has all his facts straight. This is why this screams of publicity stunt.

He could easily have found out what it was that he needed to obtain a permit--he just wanted to make a news splash by copying a heavily publicized event in Alabama.

Besides, I thought that Vernon didn't have enough $ to fund his campaign, but he spends $2,000 on a monument (not including the fees that he'll suffer for breaking the law for putting it on public property without a permit).

It's not original, and therefore stinks of just wanting publicity rather than his true belief in the Commandments themselves.

Not original? Moore, Keyes, Vision America, etc. have all called on every elected official to put up his own Ten Commandments monument. What is this law you claim he broke? If you have no idea what you're talking about, perhaps you should do more listening.
