I had three pre-painted 5-foot signs burning a hole in my trunk, so I decided to slap them up last night for the benefit of Northern Virginia commuters and their morning commutes.
Two were deployed inside the Capital Beltway on Interstate 66 at Great Falls Street - one for eastbound traffic and one for westbound traffic.
The third was a new idea - attach it to a different kind of barrier and on a non-interstate artery. This one went over Rt. 50 (Arlington Boulevard) at 7 Corners in Falls Church.
All three were standing at noon today, so all morning commuters traveling in those locations saw them, presumably. By 1pm, the Rt. 50 one had been violently ripped down. That's the nature of freeway blogging - ephemeral.
Below the fold is a montage of images I took of the signs while driving...
Here they are. Please forgive the quality. The big emphasis here is not to delude myself into thinking that the signs will actually cause impeachment to happen, but as a form of Guerrilla Marketing suggested by Kossack KagroX in early January. We had a very successful sign-making get together and deployment and followed up with a second deployment for the SOTU.
This represents deployment #3, an individual effort to "get the word out":
I will update the diary with appropriate links and point to additional images.
Folks, this is really easy and quite satisfying (if not a little exhilarating, too!). Slapping together one sign takes about ten minutes and pennies in materials. To hang, maybe 15 seconds. If you're feeling helpless about our rights being run over roughshod, get out and do something. One word - IMPEACH!!
