Mind Your Signs!

[Brent]

Perhaps I should break out the old photos that show how ludicrous this portion of the Cary sign ordinance is (and where's Holly when you need her? Ernie loves whales!).

------------------

CARY SIGN RULE REMINDER

With election season in full swing, the Town of Cary reminds everyone that signs of all kinds -- including political signs -- are regulated within town and in the ETJ. To achieve a good balance between free speech and keeping Cary the beautiful place that citizens desire, political signs should not exceed 5 square feet or 42 inches in height. One political sign is allowed for each candidate per individual lot or parcel; additional signs are permitted if the lot has frontage on a second street. Also, please keep all signs off of public property and out of public rights of way including medians, street corners, intersections, and ditches. And please don’t attach signs to light poles, trees, or traffic signals. Signs that don’t support the Town’s rules may be removed by Town staff, and fines can be eventually assessed, if necessary. To learn more about Cary’s sign ordinance, read the Sign ordinance at http://www.amlegal.com/pdffiles/Cary_pdf/LDO_CH09.pdf or call (919) 469!

"Signs"

V1
And the sign said long haired freaky people need not apply
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do
So I took off my hat I said imagine that, huh, me working for you

woah!
Chorus:
Sign Sign everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign
V2
And the sign said anybody caught trespassing would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and yelled at the house, Hey! what gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face, man you're some kinda sinner
Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:
Now, hey you Mister! can't you read, you got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat, you ain't suppose to be here
Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside Uh!
V3
And the sign said everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all,
I didn't have a penny to pay, so I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said thank you Lord for thinking about me, I'm alive and doing fine
Repeat Chorus

I've already done my part to poke the bear of political sign restrictions. And I have a federal sign permit - the constitution.
