It's almost funny that they think they can swing the momentum of this election their way by stealing yard signs.
So pathetic.
Luckily there are people like Shannon Bennett. She decided to take matters into her own hands.
After the Barack Obama sign was stolen from her front yard, Shannon Bennett painted a more permanent one with 12 cans of spray-paint and her front lawn as the canvas. "I just wanted to be able to say who I support, without being censored, which is how I felt when my sign was taken," said Bennett. She painted a large, red, white, and blue symbol in the front yard, using her old Obama sign as an inspiration.
This is why I love living in Austin. Even though we're literally surrounded by red counties (although even in Texas things are shifting to purple in some areas) we get artistic, creative people like Ms. Bennett.
Keep Austin weird, indeed!
