Unless he posted them illegally I fail to see the problem. Political free speech.

My thinking as well. The guy should check about the town, and should ask friends too as well for yard sale signs, City Council election signs, lost dog/cat/cow/pig signs, Obama signs (redundant), etc. Photograph, document the locations etc.

Be good Scouts and be prepared.

It says posters were placed on private property presumably without permission.

That would be a violation of the law (and obviously the property owner's rights).

And there are usually laws that prohibit the placing of signs on public property such as utility poles. Often these laws are overlooked, but sometimes they can't be especially if one is using glue that makes it hard to take them down.

The left has much more experience with guerrilla marketing than we do, but practice makes perfect.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And are they trying to ascribe every illegaly posted poster to this guy?

This is clearly political speech. It would be interesting to find out what guidelines they have for political posters. Where they can be displayed. What they can be attached to.

The posters that were glued to the mail drop boxes were a crime of vandalism, so that is valid. The other posters that were on power poles are no more a crime than the typical signs for yard sales or lost dogs.
