I found a Romney/Ryan sign in a ditch, what should I do with it.

I thought the sign looked so sad there in the ditch.

I wonder how it got there, who tossed it in the ditch.

The sign is in the backyard now, I will not have it in the house.

Should I bury it, give in a good funeral.

Maybe keep it for history.

I don't know.

The sign is plastic.

It will last forever.

Might be worth something in about 20 years.

It isn't paper, it is one of does plastic signs.

I don't want to make the air worse then what it is already.

It is a sad and loney sign.

He did not of course support Nixon but found the old shirt back in the early 70's at the Goodwill. Still have an old "I like Ike" button too.

If a person picked or pulled one up 36 hrs ago they could be arrested, what it's not litter today ? Permits should have to be issued to put them in the ground .

The city or someone has to pick them up.

I always pulled them up when I was precinct judge, left the area clean.

Companies, organizations, and Salesman should be the " someone " to pick up their ' Obsolete Advertisements ' . That being said I like picking up any garbage I can, I'm a municipal laborer for 28 yrs Thanks for keeping America beautiful .

Nobody seems to pick up their signs.

Take it back to the ditch where you found it and tell it that its on its own. It can pull itself up by its own bootstraps and make it on its own (or not).

Of course you run the risk of pissing off the kitty and she goes in the bathtub to punish you.

I would say, just throw it away. Its trash just laying in a ditch. Do your part to keep America clean..
Or, if you wan't to give it a funeral, bury it or burn it. But remember, buring plastic can release caustic chemicals including Dioxins! Yikes.
