A church is in a clash with Nevada County after being told to take down a sign with an American flag and a message to support the troops. Simple Truth Church put up the sign to cover an old, rundown billboard. However the Support Our Troops sign is becoming quite controversial. If the church doesnt remove the sign, it could be fined.

The Church should double-down and display the admonition from Corinthians on sin quoted by Phil Robertson.

But for others, its an eyesore. Its for that reason someone complained to the county to have it taken down.I wish they'd start publishing he names of these anonymous cpmplainers.

If the church owns or rents the billboard, they should be able to tell the county to pound sand, unless the county has specific billboard-content regulations that have been violated.
If the church doesn’t own or rent the billboard, then why did they put their sign on it?

So - its ok to leave up a dilapidated old eye-sore of a sign, but a bright and positive update by a church (at no cost to taxpayers or anyone else) is apparently a crime without permission from Big Brother...

From the article, I gathered that the church just put up the new billboard — no rent or anything. In other words, they just commandeered the space. The only legitimate complainant I would listen to would be the billboard owner. Other than that, kiss off.

Tell the government where to stick it.

this is a crisis that should not be let to go to waste.
as our basic freedoms are at stake....Id use the same sign structure to post a series of messages Biblical and Otherwise..THUS complying with the order... and using it to SHAME the very tyrants who issued it.
Id be glad to help design banners for the project

Living in a police state without our First Amendment rights really sucks. But hey! The freeloaders don’t care. They’ve got all that “free” stuff.

I sense that they own the billboard or sign structure.
Using it is their right.

The church needs to pick trusted, honorable members and put them on the ballots for next election cycle. Then be cutthroat in campaigning. And someone needs to tell the offending government official to kiss some serious backside, but in more direct terms.
