Better use for signs

Sat., Aug. 9, 2014

This letter is addressed to all the candidates who are running for various and sundry positions this election season. Can I please take some of your bigger signs after the election dust has settled? The plastic makes it a lot more comfortable for my old back when I’m lying under my vehicles servicing or repairing them, and the wire supports used to hold the signs up are perfect for welding and reshaping into more useful items.

I figured you could stand to let me have a few since there are so many of them obscuring the scenery and obstructing the view. I thought at least I could actually put them to some better use, as well as do my part recycling them.

I’d make sure I’d take one from each party so as to not disrupt the balance or be mistaken for playing favorites. Thanks in advance!
