Would you display a political sign in your yard?

Default Would you display a political sign in your yard?

I don't want to know who you support, I don't want to discuss politics as that's not happening here, but I have a question.

Have you ever displayed a political sign in your yard? We have never done so. I don't think displaying a sign will change anyone's mind as to who they will support, but this election is different and we decided we will put out a sign....actually two. We've seen many signs in our town for one candidate, we will display a sign for the other....

This is a first , but rest assured, we won't be putting bumper stickers on any of our vehicles.

Nope, my vote is mine and I see no reason to tell anyone who I vote for.

No, we have never put a political sign in our yard.

We were once asked by a neighbor if we would like one to display, and I politely declined.

If I was in the US I would not display a sign, I'd be afraid of people reacting in a dangerous manner just based on politics. Same thing with bumper stickers. Call me paranoid but that is just my opinion. A number of years ago I seen an Obama US election sign that ended up on the side of a highway near my home. I wanted to pick it up and keep it as a momento but the snow was so deep around it that I never stopped to try and pick it up.

We live in a small town, quiet street (unless it's baseball season). I would not be shocked if someone messed with a political sign, but I don't fear displaying one.

I do remember how surprised I was when someone took a pumpkin I had on my front porch and smashed it in the street. Those damn kids.

If I thought I could change people's minds I would have one hundred in my yard. No, never, not a chance.

No. I feel strongly about who I want for president but a sign in my yard makes no difference to anyone.

A few folks here have seen my house.
I could put a thousand signs in my yard and other than the FedEx and UPS guy, nobody would ever see them.
