...I'd ask the Federal Elections Commission to ask all candidates for all future offices (federal, state and local) to use recyclable paper or old grocery bags for their campaign signs. Plastic signs are a waste of money and they're using up valuable oil reserves (maybe the rising price of oil will make them too expensive without federal invention!). Besides, they're ugly. If people want to put up a sign for a candidate in their yard, tell them to use a Magic Marker and an old paper grocery bag. Then recycle it when the elections are over. And if it rains and disintegrates, go make another. Simple as pie, eh?
