The Freeway Blogger

[Generic Other]

Patrick Randall aka the Freeway Blogger has been posting signs since 2003. 8000 signs to be exact. And he is not alone. He even offers a tutorial at his website: http://www.freewayblogger.com

Here are some signs he's posted. Some signs stay up for weeks, seen by 1000s. It is the first amendment in action, as used to be admired if not actively encouraged at DU back in the day. I read on a thread today where someone said this type of action was a waste of time. I don't agree. This is how we raise our voices. One voice at a time. And we let 1000 other people know we are all not alone.

1. It always amazes me when people on the left

try to dissuade any kind of peaceful protest. The current fascist-military-industrial-prison-complex needs to be fought on many fronts. I love seeing these signs on overpasses. The really do give me a solidarity boost when I see them.

2. I love him and retweet all of his posts..

I've even tried my hand at a couple of signs..fairly crude, but I'm working on it.

3. Absolutely right on!

The "We're better than that" Democratic attitude is what got us into this since St. Ronnie.

10. It's fun to plan and execute

Makes you feel like you are refusing to be silent! And it is an adrenaline rush to do the deed.

5. Love, love him. I was so proud when he put one on our Cardiff 5 Freeway overpass

And he held a beautiful light show there too. It was wonderful.& strategic. Right in the face of hundreds of thousands of (then) Darrell Issa voters.

Not the Freeway Blogger's, but it was shown in one of his twitter threads. Done by someone called Rose.

8. He has a great and cheery twitter feed, and a "squad" of helpers.

He encourages everyone to do this. It's not illegal, he says.
