It's a big year for politics, and signs have been in yards for months. I have a stack of Kerry signs in my basement, but there are other choices as well. Here's a roundup of where to get signs related to the 2004 presidential race. (As New York seems a very safely Democratic state this year, the national campaigns are apparently not sending resources, like free signs, here.)
If you'd like a John Kerry for President sign, waterproof with a wire frame, you can call me, Simon St.Laurent, at 256-5334, and pick it up at 1259 Dryden Road. These signs were purchased from Kerrygear.com by the Town of Dryden Democratic Committee, and we're asking for a donation of $5 per sign.
If you'd like a Bush-Cheney sign, call Mark Finkelstein, the Tompkins County Republican Committee Chairman, at 277-2743. They're also asking for a $5 donation, and the signs are at the Gun Hill Residences office, 210 Lake St., Ithaca. (Thanks to Duane Testut for leaving that information here.)
If you'd like a Bush Must Go sign, their headquarters is at 115 The Commons, Ithaca, above Autumn Leaves bookstore. They're looking for a donation of $6 per sign and $1.50 per bumper sticker. As you can see in the picture above, they left a space for people to add their own messages to the sign, and have a selection of stickers available for that.
(It should be obvious, but my inclusion of sign-providers in this list does not mean that I endorse their efforts, except of course for my own efforts.)
