How do you get an election yard sign

Submitted by Patrick Grote on Mon, 10/06/2008 - 11:55am.

I put this under entertainment, as it will be fun to track the responses from the organizations.

Since it's election time I thought it would be interesting to see how you actually get yard signs. We have one in our yard now for Rick Stream. He's hoping to be re-elected to the state representatives. Hhis sign required no action on our part. Evidently, we signed up for a sign the last time he ran, so he sent us a postcard letting us know they would be by to put one up. They did it this weekend.

Which ... is what got me thinking about how to get more election yard signs. I think it's going to be interesting to see how well the various campaigns respond to my requests.

Here are the candidates I'll be contacting through the web or email for a sign:

John McCain - President
Todd Akin - Federal congressman
Kenny Hulshof - Governor
Sam Page - Lieutenant Governor
Mitch Hubbard - Secretary of State
Mike Gibbons - Attorney General

John McCain: I don't see anywhere on the site to specifically request yard signs. They do have an email address for the St. Louis area, so I am going to drop them an email and ask them to place a yard sign in our yard.

Update: This is sad. John McCain's email bounced back to me with an over quota limit.

Todd Akin: Again, nothing on their website to indicate how to get a yard sign, but they had a webform. The problem is it didn't work. Not good. It was a CGI/Forbideen error. I went to his house webpage and used the contact form there.

Kenny Hulshof: Finally, someone has a proper place to sign up for a yard sign.

Sam Page: Wow, this one was even easier. There is a big box on the right hand side that says YARD SIGNS. You don't have to sign up for membership as you did with Hulshof.

Mitch Hubbard: Very odd. Mitch would like you to download a word document , fill it out and then send it in.

Mike Gibbons: A simple to use webform , but no link to YARD SIGNS on the front page.
