Hillary Yard Signs for Western PA


We who live in Rural W. PA like to put political yard signs in our yards to show we support our candidates.   We also support our sports teams by wearing team colors etc.  It's what we do.  Did you ever see the folks that attend sporting events in WPA like a Steelers football game with their faces painted waving the terrible towels in the air, we are passionate about supporting our teams.

 We are proud of the folks we are supporting and happily place signs in our fields, at the ends of our driveways and in the front yards in small rural towns.  

Some of us get motivated to vote by seeing the signs and who are neighbors are supporting.   If we are not sure who to vote for, we look to see what signs are displayed in the yards of people we know and respect.  Many folks are too busy working to survive in this economy to pay attention to the news and rely on these signs to decide who they will vote for. 

 I have actually had people tell me they drive by my house on Election Day to see whose signs are in my yard because they know that I am keeping up with the political news and trust me to choose the best candidate to work for issues that are important to us and the needs of voters in Mercer County.

The official political party opinion on yard signs is that it is more effective to spend $$ on TV and Direct mailers.  Maybe they are right but when you drive around WPA and all you see are Trump signs and signs that say " Hillary for Prison",  it makes you feel like your team is not getting out the word. 
It makes you feel you may be alone in your support of Hillary when no one has a Hillary sign in their yard.  They wonder why there is no support for Hillary in Mercer County.  

We asked our Hillary Field Rep. to get Hillary signs for us to pass out and he said that he cannot.  He also said the Trump signs we see have not been paid for by the Trump campaign.  He said these folks are paying $20.00 each for these signs.   

So, we got together and took up a collection to purchase yard signs at DWMC meeting on Saturday morning.    Below is a copy of an email Judy Hines sent about purchasing  yard signs.


DWMC members and friends, 

DWMC voted on purchasing Hillary signs .  The more we purchase the cheaper the rate .  

If you are interested in helping DWMC purchase a large lot of signs contact me today 724- 866-2220

We need the signs before the Stoneboro fair so we must place the order by Tuesday August 16 .

That means I need the money to place the order .   From our Saturday DWMC meeting we collected $265.

Call me if you are interested and need more details
