Anti Obama billboard:


http://www.kltv.com/global/story.asp?s=12821474


Quote from Article:
"I feel that God favors me on this," Millers said. "Not only that but intellect favors me. Patriotism favors me."


But not all drivers on Highway 287 follow suit. Bill Wright voted Republican in '08.

"I think its unnecessary," Wright said. "Even if I had voted for him, I'd have the same opinion."

Sherell Shivers respects Miller's protest, but suggests a different means of sharing.

"I feel like he's spending a lot of unnecessary money that he could be spending on helping children that's hungry or anything," she said.


Original Poster's note: I saw the video on the local news, she's Black.


For now, the signs remain, spreading an opinion if for just a few seconds.

============
What?? A Christian should feed hungry children instead of paying for a billboard?????

He says "God favors me on this, not only that but intellect favors me. Patriotism favors me."

Does that mean we have a Godwin Award in the OP??? :shrug:


On edit: Removed brackets so there were no italics.

1. Here's the billboard that the Dems should put up all over the country..
Edited on Fri Jul-16-10 08:45 PM by BrklynLiberal



Where is the website for Dems to do this??


Miller's campaign will soon move from the roadside to online. He is currently creating a website, www.XXXXXXXXXXXX.com to connect with other like-minded people to raise money for future billboards.

6. And check out these comments"

If this man chooses to spend his own money on a sign that you must read in English, didn't get that money from welfare, and is only expressing a personal opinion that isn't spray painted on public or someone elses property in the name of free speech, God Bless him and his forwardness. If you don't like the signs, close your eyes again, like they have been all along.

America is waking up! Thank God, I just hope it's not to late and I hope that much like Jimmy Carter, Obama spurs Americans to find another Ronald Reagan in 2012! Let's keep working and praying and I'm sure we'll find one.

And for all of you showing your support here and all about for another "change" keep up the good work!

Mr. Miller MADE the money so he can spend it how HE sees fit. And how does Ms. Shivers know what else he is spending his money on? Really? Really?

I think it's great what he has done. Its time people see this man for what he is. He is a communist who is taking away our rights. Where were these people when the Bush signs were out I dont remember people so critical then.

This man has the right to spend his money anyway he sees fit. Those of us that think the Obamanation is a danger to this country have the right to voice our disgust any way we want and I commend this man for his message.

7. My county went 2 to 1 for Grandpa/Palin in 2008.
I think this guy put up three billboards.

The billboard co. rejected his first design with Fidel Castro.

9. Yeah well...it's East Jesus Texas. There are some brainwashed types around.
Just like the rest of the country. It's interesting that there are lot of people in East Jesus that didn't like the sentiment.

But they have the right to put up the billboards. As we do with ours.
