I put up my first yard sign yesterday

[rich34]

I put it up across the road right as you get off my interstate exit. My wife was dying because I kept wanting to drive past it. :D I'm like "do you think I should move it over just a little?" I took alot of pride in that. It's the first time I ever put out a political sign of any kind. Probably wouldn't be a bad thing for all of us to do.

I saw somewhere I believe on ebay you could order 60+ yard signs for about a 160 bucks. If you can afford it, it probably wouldn't be a bad thing to do as the election gets closer, or even now for that matter. Put these in and outside of the cities and also out in the country as well.

Nice! I've put up yard signs for local candidates but never for a presidential. I can wait to do that once my meetup group gets our 1000 signs in!

I ordered 65 of the yard signs off Ebay. I have never put up any yard sign before. So, I put one of the Ron Paul signs in my window in my condo.

On Friday I sold 5 of the signs to a guy I bought a stamp (http://www.ronpaulstamps.com/)from.

Friday night some friends and I went downtown to the Gaslamp in San Diego with our video camera (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGfXIKHowoU) and Ron Paul sign and just walked around. A bunch of people approached us and started talking. I need to get some Ron Paul business cards to hand out. I want to get a group of 10-20 and go down and make all kinds of noise in the Gaslamp. I will make better videos later. It was so much fun!
