The story about political signs ...

From 2012
Where are the political signs? There just aren't that many any more.

One of the things we do for this event is to dress it up with lots of political signs. Each year, we find that local precincts across the state usually ask for a "donation" for the presidential and governor signs because those particular races put their money in TV ads, not in signs for the yard.

This year, we found that some precincts were charging for all signs, particularly the Democrat offices. One said that the only free sign was for the candidate for NC Commissioner of Agriculture.

Local party organizations seem to be using the signs as a fundraising item. So procuring them for our event gets more difficult each year.

Add that there are very few Libertarian offices in North Carolina. In the Catawba County area, where this event is being located, the Libertarians work out of their homes, with no office - and very few signs.
