Signs Don’t Vote!

I was driving down the road a few days ago — noticing the campaign signs that lined their edges — and a most curious thought came to mind. Signs Don’t Vote! People Do!

That got me thinking about all the money that goes down the drain when the signs are blown away during thunderstorms or are mowed down by highway maintenance crews. And of what message the signs can convey when they end up, long before the election, in the landfill. Then it hit me again. Signs Don’t Vote! People Do!

Many of my supporters say to me, “Wayne, we gotta’ get more signs out.” I understand their thoughts because that’s how elections are done… right? Isn’t it assumed that whoever has the most signs, wins? No. The fact is, whoever has the most votes, wins! Remember… Signs Don’t Vote! People Do!

Signs don’t have families who want to go to bed at night feeling safe from intruders. Signs don’t have children, whose parents want a community free of sexual predators. Signs don’t have homes and businesses whose insurances rates are inflated because of arson. And, signs don’t warmly dream of a community they call home… a place where little signs are raised — then, little grandsigns after them.

Here I go again — Signs Don’t Vote! People Do!

So, I say to to all my supporters, “Let’s not concentrate on how many signs we can deliver… but, on how many votes we can deliver.”

Just remember… Signs Don’t Vote! People Do!
