………….POLITICAL SIGNS IN NORTH OAKS

“Members of Council discussed the issue of balancing first amendment rights and “North Oaks aesthetics” at their June meeting. Minnesota Statute does not allow a city to restrict the sizes or numbers of campaign signs posted from Aug. 1 until 10 days after the election.”

“According to City Attorney Newcome, the exemption does not refer to location, so cities may regulate the location of political signs.”

“In North Oaks, it is suggested the political signs be placed outside of road easements and setbacks. Residents who wish to put up political signs my legally do so but in the interest of North Oaks aesthetics, it is suggested that signs be located at least 60 feet from the center of the road, outside of road easements and setbacks.”

[From the City of North Oaks/North Oaks Home Owners Associtation, etc.]

Perhaps I’ll receive an invitation from person(s) living in North Oaks to again visit them. That will enable me to drive through and check out at least some of the political landscape.

I was told that the private property extends to the middle of the street and that the signs were not allowed.

North Oaks used to be James J. Hill’s farm. It is about a square mile in area.

James J. Hill built the Great Northern Railroad. The tracks run through North Oaks. Hill had two diesel engines for power to his barn.

The grandfather of some of people that I know [then children] used to hunt with James J. Hill.

I might know more Minnesota history than “D” might think.

If D wants to, (s)he can contact North Oaks, MN and find out for himself.

The first time I rode a “bone shaker” [a prototype of a bicycle] was in North Oaks, MN.

Telephone North Oaks. Find out if they had/have a history of not allowing political lawn signs.

“North Oaks, Minnesota, a privately owned suburb-city of sorts, does not allow political lawn signs. Whether you bought them, or got them for free doesn’t matter.”

That is an OUTRIGHT LIE. Cities can NOT ban political signs. Its in State Statute.

el presidente: Please provide the city ordinance that North Oaks (a legal jurisdiction) has used to ban campaign signs.

Oh, and by the way, private subdivisions can make these RULES, but a CITY can NOT. Try using a brain cell or two before you LIE to people.

But most republiCons are too (cheney)in’ cheap to let a few moths outa their wallets, and pony up a measely $8 for the cheap-trick.

You ain’t a woofin’. I used to live in Longfellow (or The People’s Republic of South Minneapolis). Great location, but the hate politics is something else. You can run up to a few hang-outs on Lake Street and listen to the communists (that’s not hyperbole, they really are) rant and plot away.

What always amazed me about my neighbors in Longfellow was listening to them bitch about their taxes, yet voting for every levy that came along… they all sent their kids to Minnehaha Academy too, because they didn’t want their kids subjected to the failure that is the Minneapolis Public Schools…

Ahh! Don’t you “love” those liberal progressive democrats like Jim Janos (BTW: Janos is Jessie Venturas “real” last name. hmm!) I observed this being a “moran” with a MENSA level verified IQ.

I try to spellcheck and Angry Al’s last name didn’t have a proper option. Sometimes, I intentionally misspelled things like names. It makes great “flame bait”. These liberal progressive democrats seem to always take this “bait”.

I live in the Longfellow neighborhood in Minneapolis. This is sort of the “Potemkin Village” of DFL politics. George Bush received under 20% of the vote here in both elections. I drive and bicycle around the neighborhood and try to observe the political signs. We had and still have the “forever” Wellstone signs but the only Angry Al Franken sign I’ve seen is a window placard put up six months ago. Weird!

When Paul Wellstone died in the tragic plane crash six years ago it seemed every other house had a Wellstone sign. I’d wager there are probably more Wellstone sign (especially inside windows) in my neighborhood than signs for Angry Al Franken. Minneapolis Longfellow neighbohood is a great place to live despite the libs. It’s great for bicycling whihc i good exercise. Also you can study thing from steet level while riding. For example, I can identify under 10% LCD/plasma TV use. It seemed every other house had a Wellstone sign after the tragic Wellstone plane crash.

Oh gosh! I guess I must be really stupid because I mispelled Angry Al’s last name. Perhaps I should compensate by referring to the dem candidate as “Angry Al” since this franken doesn’t show correct in spellchecker.

My observations aren’t scientific but I am a conservative living in the liberal/progressive/democratic “Potemkin Village”
80% liberal/progressive/democrats. It’s probably the best “middle class” in the US for dems.

I bicycle primarily for exercise http://bikemiles.com but I try to play “reporter” when I ride and observe the neighborhood. I might watch political lawn signs while pedaling

Andrew Falk is going to trounce him, lawn signs or not.

When I drive up into Minneapolis, I dont see many, either. The many Nelson-Pallmeyer signs came down, but the Franken signs did not go up.

Lighten-up John!

There are FREE, AIR WAVES, and then there is the government selling, renting, etc. those air waves.

It could have a picture of Angry Al Frankin and the red “no” circle with bar”.

At the bottom there could be text with Angry Al Frankin’s misdeeds there including Andy Rooney raping Leslie Stahl on 60 minutes.

It should be formatted to print on a single 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper with people at home encouraged to print their own copy and display them on doors or windows.

If your liberal/democratic/progressive neighbors ask/object you can ask them when they condone and tolerate rape, even in jokes or parody.

The design and wording of the sign might need a bit of tweaking but the idea seems valid and it’s not recorded and zero cost since you print it yourself.

A couple of days ago I was in the Midway area of St. Paul and there was an Obama vendor selling political material. I saw that a button costs $2.

I wonder if they require personal information like Angry Al Frankin did at the State Fair last year where all of these people who paid a couple of dollars for a button or sticker. Angry Al Frankin is claiming this huge number of “donors”.

Angry Al gets half his money from the Hollywood “Barbara Striesand” crowd. Golly, I wonder if the huge number of Angry Al Frankin’s supporters are ginned up from paraphernalia pimping requiring ID’s.

Some private condominiums do not allow the flying of flags. This even applies to the United States Flag, the Minnesota State Flag,…
