Dear Dean ,

You told me that you had the Supreme Court case history to prove your point. You referenced "City of Ladue v Gallo". I couldn't find it but if you meant "City of Ladue v Gilleo" it involved a lady that had a sign on her lawn that said "Say no to the Persian Gulf". That is NOT a "vote for me" kind of sign. She was just stating her opinion, and I agree that she had a first amendment right to do so.

Your second case "Reed v Town of Gilbert" is a case of "more stringent restrictions on signs involving meetings of a non-profit than other messages", another case that has absolutely nothing to do with the self promotion we offer on our "vote for me" election signs, mine included. For the record I agree that there should NOT be more restrictions on these non-profit-message types of signs.

How those 2 unrelated Supreme Court cases make our City Ordinance unconstitutional is beyond me. One has nothing to do with the other.

Sorry Dean. You don't have the Supreme Court behind you on this one. Good luck in your campaign.
