SyracuseCulturalWorkers.com is where you can get them, and a whole lot more.

I have a lot of republican neighbors, and this was a nice way to wave the flag while making a point.

have been for at least a year if not longer. Portland OR is so damn cool.


I’m originally from MA and always felt proud and maybe a bit smug about my liberal roots. But living in Oregon and spending time in Portland has cured me of that. The left coast is real for sure.

18. Origins of the sign and where you can order it:

(Nasty Women Get Shit Done Portland):

We based the “In Our America” graphic on a design that local artist Jason Maxfield created and we collaborated with graphic designer Sean Donnell to produce the modified United States of America flag design.

In doing so, we created a flag worthy of the definition of patriotism (“love for or devotion to one’s country”).

The "In Our America" flag includes and upholds the rights of all people, along with the preservation of our planet.


The "In Our America" flag, which has now been distributed across the country on tens of thousands of yard signs, stickers, and posters is sold locally in the Portland area and online.

Proceeds from the sales of “In Our America” merchandise are donated to local organizations that support the values on the flag.

posted it again. There are so many of these in Portland that I didn't even think about that not being the case in other parts of the country. You don't think about it once it becomes part of the landscape. So good on you!

on it.

My heart soared.

I wanted to go up to his parents and embrace them. But I didn't, obviously.

I just silently sent vibes in their direction to keep raising their kid the right way.

32. Great message but far too much text for a road sign
Mon Feb 18, 2019, 08:57 AM

The idea of road signs is to quickly convey a.message or support to someone driving past. No one can read that while in motion, the small text is also a problem.

Would be a great bill board at a red light

As someone who used to live and work in Charlotte up until the early '90's, I kept getting the impression that they were going backwards, but now I am so glad to hear you say that these signs are all over Charlotte. I almost moved back there when I retired a year ago.
