missouri, signs, yard signs

The Missouri State Democratic Party has been sending teams out across the state to resupply county committees with yard signs, 4×4 signs, and 4 x 8 signs. This afternoon one such team made a delivery in Warrensburg.

Drive by, after yelling “MAGA, MAGA…”

Overnight someone removed the Biden/Harris yard sign from our front yard. We acquired a 4×4 replacement this afternoon. It’ll go up on steel fence posts tomorrow morning.

By the way, in Missouri stealing political yard signs is a Class 4 Election Offense, punishable by up to a year in jail and/or a $2,500.00 fine.

We mark all of our yard signs in permanent marker with “Stolen from [address]”. You steal our signs, don’t hang on to them. You don’t want to get caught with stolen property.

115.637. Class four election offenses. — The following offenses, and any others specifically so described by law, shall be class four election offenses and are deemed misdemeanors not connected with the exercise of the right of suffrage. Conviction for any of these offenses shall be punished by imprisonment of not more than one year or by a fine of not more than two thousand five hundred dollars or by both such imprisonment and fine:

[….]

(19) Stealing or willfully defacing, mutilating, or destroying any campaign yard sign on private property, except that this subdivision shall not be construed to interfere with the right of any private property owner to take any action with regard to campaign yard signs on the owner’s property and this subdivision shall not be construed to interfere with the right of any candidate, or the candidate’s designee, to remove the candidate’s campaign yard sign from the owner’s private property after the election day.

It ain’t worth all the effort.

They’ve already told us what they are, now they’re just haggling over the cost

Corona virus, COVID-19, masks, missouri, pandemic, signs

At a business in west central Missouri:

“Save our friends, face mask up for humanity”

“Face mask up, that life you might save is special”

Wear a damn mask. And while you’re at it, wear some damn gloves.

Stay Home. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. Good luck to us all.

Kansas City, missouri, protest, signs, Women' March

At noon yesterday at Mill Creek Park next to the 47th Street entrance of the Plaza several hundred individuals participated in a rally and march (through the Plaza) in solidarity with hundreds of similar women’s marches across the country advocating for women’s rights and commemorating the movement and the large 2017 nationwide march.

After marching to and through the Plaza the demonstrators returned to Mill Creek Park to rally, chant, and picket along 47th Street. The march was scheduled from noon to 1:00 p.m. – by 1:15 p.m. the park was empty.

“Wanna change the world? Vote!”

“The future is nasty”

“Men of quality do not fear equality”

“Vote for women”

“I’m with her”

“Women 2020…”

Everything I do, I do it with passion. If I gotta be a bitch, I’ma be a bad one.”

“I’ve seen better cabinets at Ikea!”

“I’m only an angry feminist when you’re an ignorant, mysogynist, asshole.”

The demonstrators marched from the park toward the Plaza, to Ward Parkway, and trough the Plaza back to the park on 47th Street.

On 47th Street:

“I’m feeling 22 cents underpaid on the dollar”

“Women rising”

“I wish my uterus shot bullets so the government wouldn’t regulate it”

“Stop taxing my body”

“Uterus belongs to…”

“So bad even introverts are here”

“Pro-woman, pro-choice”

“Here’s to strong women…”

Unlike the National Archives:

“If I wanted the government in my womb I’d fuck a senator…”

“American Horror Story – White House”

#resist, Kansas City, missouri, protest, signs, t-shirt, Women's March

At noon today at Mill Creek Park next to the 47t Street entrance of the Plaza several hundred individuals participated in a rally and march (through the Plaza) in solidarity with hundreds of similar women’s marches across the country advocating for women’s rights and commemorating the movement and the large 2017 nationwide march.

After gathering at Mill Creek Park the majority in attendance marched south and then west toward Ward Parkway, turned north, and returned to the park through the Plaza on 47th Street. The march was about a mile in length and took under a half hour.

“Love women”

“Vote”

“Speak Up”

“Break! up with your toxic masculinity. I’m Bored!”

“I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.”

Teach your children well:

“Vote for women”

“If it isn’t intersectional it isn’t feminism”

Yelling from traffic on 47th Street at the handful of protesters who didn’t march and remained at the park picketing.

True believer.

There were a few more who joined the group at the park as the march proceeded through the Plaza.

“Women supporting women”

“We are the granddaughters of the witches you were never able to burn”

The host returns:
