What do you mean I can't put a sign in my own front yard??
Many cities in Nebraska have a local ordinance limiting the amount of time homeowners can place an election sign in their yard. Supposedly, this reduces "clutter," but it also reduces free speech rights. Lincoln and Bellevue had these laws and were actively enforcing it. Darryl Rivers received a notice on his front door that he had to remove his "Obama for President" yard sign or face a $500 fine. Randy Eschelman had to go to the Bellevue City Council to plead for the right to keep displaying his "Bob Barr for President" sign. After ACLU Nebraska threatened to sue the city, both Lincoln and Bellevue agreed their law was unconstitutional and stopped enforcement. ACLU is now working with other cities with similar illegal limitations on speech.
