Custom Signs Are A First Amendment Right
Express Yourself Freely With A Custom Sign
I have a neighbor who has a custom aluminum yard sign in his frontyard at all times. No, he's not having a garage sale or trying to sell hishome in this crazy housing market. His
custom sign
actually lists theTen Commandments, of all things. This custom sign is not only areflection of his beliefs but an expression of something he can't display just anywhere. Does anyone stop to read his custom sign? Probablynot word for word, as there are a lot of words in the TenCommandments and he lives on a busy road. His white lettering on adark green background gets attention and the large lettering at the topstating, "The Ten Commandments" is really all anyone needs to see toknow how this man feels, which is his point. And the beauty of thiscustom sign is that this neighbor has the full protection of the law indisplaying it.Everyone in town knows this man for his custom sign, which is exactlyhow he wants it. There is another woman in town who has 'God BlessAmerica' printed onto a cardboard sign and posted on her fence. Shealso has a similar custom sign hanging in a window of the retailbusiness she owns. Can anyone stop her from hanging her customsigns? Would anybody want to? Her custom signs are all modestlydisplayed on her own property.I bet you've seen similar custom signs of personal expression, of not insomeone's yard, then on cars, t-shirts, even billboards. If you're notshy about stating your beliefs, then a custom sign is a fun way of drawing attention to the things that are important to you.
Custom Signs Of Expression Can Be Subtle
Maybe you're not interested in a custom sign displayed in your frontyard or business window stating your beliefs, but you do want othersto know that your thoughts are to be counted. I see custom magneticcar signs everyday that say 'Support Our Troops', 'Support Alzheimer'sResearch', or similar custom magnetic car signs that get your personalmessage across in a smaller, yet equally effective way. For example,let's say you agree with my neighbor and his "Ten Commandments"sign, but don't want one of your own in your yard. Imagine a simplecustom magnetic car sign that simply says, "The Ten Commandments"in white lettering on a dark color. Your custom sign on your car wouldhave the same effect as the man's yard sign in stating your beliefs,
