musicman Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) campaign support is tacky? Do you feel the same way about 'W' stickers?if they are posted/stapled/nailed on other signs, fences, telephone poles, yes. i think it just looks bad. if someone wants a bumper sticker on their car or a sign in their yard or business, no problem.
