Related: About this forumpls edit/collaborate on big Burke yard sign - will share the pdf
I'm about to print another Burke yard sign and kinkos (~30" x ~23" . I
also plan to make a 48" x 24" for a piece of plywood. Will share pdfs when done.

Before I print, pls edit my bullet candidates (add or delete some bullets also):
Respect unions, restore state worker collective bargaining rights.
Accountability for privatized schools.
Stop statewide expansion of school vouchers.
Repeal onerous voting rules.
Accept federal funds for Badgercare.
Women's rights. Equal pay. Stop forced motherhood.
Stop liberal tax cuts for 1\%; and genocidal austerity policies for 99\%.
Raise minimum wage to $10.10
Stop the GTAC mine. Communities (not corporations) know what's best for the environment.
Stop privatizing our public commons.
Stop union busting "Right to work for less" bill.
Burke is not running for President.
Burke is not owned by Koch or Adelson.

Thanks!

(3,577 posts)Start with a verb on the accountability and women's rights lines (to make all the lines parallel).
Don't say liberal tax cuts--use another word like huge
Take out the semicolon after 1% (you don't need it there).
Turn around the quote mark that is facing the wrong way before right to work (there may be two spaces there, which makes the software want to attach the quote to the prior word).
Take out the bullets before the last two lines and make them look separate (centered under the bullet points, different font, size, or color, etc).
Good luck!

(93 posts)Thanks much! I think all your chgs are good.
My skills are limited w/r to font size, color etc, so I plan to print:

If I have time I will do another larger sign and post it here later.

(36,063 posts)but it seems like much text for even a large yard sign.
Be sure your list is ordered by your priorities
unions are mentioned twice, maybe tighten up that message
The ijiots near me would have trouble with something much more simple that represents my vote, like:
I stand with
NOT Walker

(93 posts)Yes, it's quite a bit of text, but it's a one-off, and I'm having fun.
Here is a version intended for a 2 foot by 4 foot piece of 1/4" plywood:
