‘Anti-Obama’ Billboards Go Viral
April 5, 2010 - 1:19 PM | by: Elizabeth Prann
If you have something to say – put it on a billboard. Atlanta commuters are noticing electronic billboards in metro Atlanta posting anti-Obama messages. The idea turns what is normally a staple of commercial advertising into a platform for political opinions - a bumper-sticker slogan aimed at a wider audience.
The signs include: ‘Stop Obama’s Socialism.”
“If You’re Not Outraged, You’re Not Paying Attention.”
“Now It’s Personal! America’s Coming for You Congress! Vote Liberals Out in 2010.”
“Stop the Lies.”
The billboard sponsors consists of about 12 local businessmen. They've created a Web site: billboardsagainstobama.com, where you can find four billboards messages to donate to.
Spokesperson Tommy Newberry says there has seen such an influx of interest, sponsors are creating 50 billboard designs for donators to pick from. He also says it won't take long before the billboards start popping up around the nation.
“We are now very well funded. We are getting about a donation a minute,” Newberry said.
Donations range from a few dollars to $500 dollars. Newberry also has had about a dozen requests for an entire billboard. An electronic billboards advertisement can cost up to $3,500 a month.
Newberry says the group's ultimate goal is to not only grab people's attention but also educate and motivate them.
“There’s a lot of energy from people who want to participate and they don’t know exactly what they want to do. We can speak for them, on their behalf,” Newberry said.

I remember in elementary school my teacher telling us that Americans do not bow to foreign heads, and that was a tradition started by Jefferson.
I guess Obama was absent that day.
Or in Indonesia for all those years.
Usually the taxes are high to keep out the riff raff.
See, they don’t do racism. They just make sure the uneducated types simply can’t afford to live where they do, because of taxes.
Ha. Earl Ofari Hutchinson is a bigger socialist than Obama.
No he doesn’t like hearing the truth. His response so far has been to scoff and respond with incredulity.
That educational system is the one that American citizens throughout the USA that American citizens apparently want- The local school boards are elected and paid for by local voters/taxpayers! Suck it up, YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF!
“YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF!’
Don’t point your snotty little finger at me !!!
I did no such thing.
After taking a look at your homepage, I must state that my remarks were intended for citizens residing in the USA, no ill feelings intended.
saving
for reference
Its the equivalent of telling a Hollywood actor your only good enough for infomercials not for the big screen...
Don’t like “Socialist” hunh” How about
‘Obama the ‘Enslaver’?
Communist tyrant ,,,,,, GET IT RIGHT !!!
Exactly. I think he’s even gone beyond socialism.
What's his point?
Or:
"If you're not outraged then you are part of the 50% that doesn't pay taxes"
One thing I’d like to see is the transition from using the word
“socialist”
to the more accurate word
“FASCIST”
“If You’re Not Outraged, You’re Not Paying TAXES.”
I like it.
That’s the point of his policies.
As one of his supporters is quoted following the election:
“your turn now, whitey”
this year's 1099, his insurance premium benefit paid by the employer will be reported as INCOME!
*** I had not heard that the employer insurance benefit will be counted as income. That is a big tax bite, even for those of us who have free employer provided insurance! Wow! ***
Yes. That was part of 'the original' House Bill, HR 3200. And is why 'organized labor' had a fit, and got an exemption to 2013(?).
It wasn't just the 'cadillac plan tax' thing, it was the 'income tax' that got them in a huff. And the new 'Income' thing was one of the first things I spotted and knew 'Labor' wouldn't go along. In the Union Construction Trades in Chi Metro Area, 'Health & Welfare' (Insurance) is about $10.00 an hour, $400 a week and $20,000 a year (50 weeks). So now their yearly income is about $100K with H&W insurance as income.
Taxes on that 'unearned' $20K would be HUGH using the tax rates for $100K Total income. And a lot of these guy's wives work too. Add that in and they'd pay almost the highest tax rates. So once again the white middle class is the target of the Dems. The Rich Dems like Pelosi won't be affected and neither will the poor 'Obama Voter'.
Obama has declared war on Americans with this.
