Stop illegally placed campaign signs!

Re: Stop The Bloom !

And for goodness sake, do an attractive sign. Get a local graphic artist to do something eye-catching, with a logo, and place them respectfully. Use of yellow is almost an automatic disqualification for consideration.

I've actually voted against people for showing a lack of taste in font, color, or obscene quantity.

All the signs I saw in opposition of the recent Amendment 1 had such poor design that they appeared to actually say "Vote No. 1" The 'on' between the No and 1 was nearly invisible.

I propose all candidates submit their prospective designs on SoWal for approval. It's like a great big free focus group...

Well our friend Charlie Burke qualified for the District 5 slot, and he will definitely be unbeatable. I quess that leaves me out of that race. The Sheriff's race is crowded already, wrobert is running for the school board and I definitely couldn't beat him.

Hmm - How about Supt. of Education ?

What would I do with the 1000 I just bought if you did not like them?

Donate them to the TDC. Surely they look better than the blue signs.

Well it is officially the start of the political sign bloom period. Each candidate that files for office is given a sheet concerning the placement of their political sign. They sign a document that states that they have received and understand the limitations.

We live in a unique area that we are all proud of. The visual appearance of our highways and by-ways is a key component of out tourism industry. A tremendous debate on the "Ugly Blue Signs" has been playing out in our community as of late.

You can legally help in keeping our area cleaner. The bloom that is just beginning is controllable - you can stop the bloom.

I travel the roads of our county on a daily basis and enjoy removing these ilegally placed signs from our area. I am doing my part to eliminate the bloom. I never touch a "legally placed" sign, never remove one when it is placed in a persons yard or outside the public right-of-way.

Help me stop the bloom - remove these sign when you see them placed in illegal locations. They cost a candidate around $4.00 a piece. I have quite a collection already.

The Coyote is simply trying to keep our area as pleasing as possible.

Whenever you see one - "NO MATTER THE CANDIDATE" - stop and start your own collection.

Is that illegally placed sign for a candidate that is seeking the office of the top law enforcement official in Walton County?

"Temporary political signs announcing a campaign drive or event,provided such signs are removed within 15 days following the campaign drive or event."

is there any meat behind this ordinance? there's been a sheriff's campaign sine on 395 since the last election.
