Signs posted in front and beside mailboxes at a post office location where I dropped off mail tonight.
If it was at the headquarters of the unions, that'd be one thing. But in this case, would this be considered federal property? Would it be considered election engineering since this is where people will be dropping off vote-by-mail ballots? Should I bother complaining to the post office and registrar of voters? Should I post another vanity?
Enquiring minds yada yada...
But I don’t understand ...
Postal workers like to have the option to “go postal”
“Going postal” requires a gun(s)
Obama will take away everyone’s guns
So why would Postal workers support OBamBam?
Is it an IQ thang? (not referring to any FReeper postal workers)
Take a marker to it and make it “NObama”.
I wonder who DHL is supporting this year.
Federal property and its illegal.
Remove them and warn them you will contact the US postal service in Wash DC.
LOL....THAT is an UNDERSTATEMENT.....imagine health care like the Post Office......take a number!!!!

Clearly illegal!
Looks like a Hatch Act violation to me.
1-800-ASK-USPS - all complaints are documented and tallied. Ask for a postmaster to contact you immediately.
Put up a McCain sign right beside it.
Hey CCC-
Yikes - and email Suss for the local angle!
You are right on the money. Take them down. Without apology.
Oh, and contact Tom Del Baccaro (Vice Chair of CA GOP), too.

The man is *great*!
complain and call your Congressman.
Ah yes, I’ve met Tom many-a-time.
I’ve already sent messages to USPS and my local GOP (I’m on the committee anyway).
Signs on school grounds?
My FRiend, have you seen that video of young black kids doing the “Alpha, Omega...” video?
It’s a done deal, the labor unions for the NEA, UPS, many metro trans orgs, and many state / federal organizations, except the FBI, the US Mil an a few others (which BTW the FBI has suddenly grown a pair [Thank God])
I guarantee (sic?) a McCain Palin sign would’nt last 5 min on any college campus.
A CA GUY, chalk it up to damage done, don’t waste your time unless you think it will make a diffrence. No idiotic sign will make most people on the fence vote either way...
But I’d be Pi$$ed nonetheless, and would absolutly confront the school just on ethical grounds. Good luck my fellow FRiend, I truly wish you success to make them see thier mistake.
Complain? RANT!
Call the local RNC people. They know how to take care of this sort of thing. Be careful if you try to tamper with private property.
