According to the Prairie Village city attorney, the city will consider a new sign ordinance. A federal judge found the current one appeared to violate First Amendment rights. Prairie Village resident David Quinly, backed by the American Civil Liberties Union, challenged the ordinance after the city cited him for his front-yard signs opposing the war in Iraq. If the opposition to the signs is politically motivated, then the way to fight the issue is clear: put up signs of your own. Currently an injunction is in place to keep Prairie Village from enforcing their laws until it is deemed "fair" by a judge and, of course, by the ACLU, who is always there to defend the liberals freedom of speech. I have seen Quinly's signs, and they have been there for awhile. It makes his yard look pretty trashy but that is the way he wishes to express his speech. So, as I said, fight fire with fire: put up your own trashy signs. The ACLU will inadvertently be there to protect you even if you hold a position in favor of the war. U.S. District Judge John Lungstrum issued an injunction blocking Prairie Village from enforcing its ordinance........so it is now a free for all!!!
