A Sign of Our Times

Very early one Sunday morning before the June primary election, I left the house with a purpose – I was going to place our CALA yard signs among the hundreds of candidate signs lining the streets of a busy thoroughfare between Newport Beach and Irvine. We had less than a dozen signs to place in between the many signs for candidates running for assembly, judge and U.S. Senate, but I thought it was worth getting the word out that “California Needs More Jobs, Not More Lawsuits.” Now, here we are, nearly seven weeks after the June primary and only one yard sign is still standing - CALA's. Even the city workers who mow the lawn take great care in not moving our sign and mow around it to keep it intact. Could it be a sign of the times? The economy is down. Businesses are closing and people are losing their jobs. The small yard sign screams a message loud and clear – “California Needs More Jobs, Not More Lawsuits.” I continue to receive e-mails and calls from people who see our sign and agree. Have you seen our sign?
