We are passionate volunteers who have spent the past several months walking door-to-door in every area of Salt Lake City with Rocky Anderson. Following enthusiastic conversations, hundreds of residents have authorized us to install Rocky for Mayor signs in their yards and on their fences. We have also received dozens of requests online for yard signs. We do not place signs without authorization. Of course, that would be not only wrong, but counter-productive.
An Avenues resident, Alexa Oldham (letter to the editor, June 1), took the time to write a letter to the editor complaining that a campaign sign had been placed in her yard without permission by her or, apparently, her co-tenants. She then sought to generalize, implying that our campaign may be placing signs without permission elsewhere. Had she simply called the campaign office and provided her address, we could have told her what our careful records show about authorization to place the sign at her home and we would have been happy to pick up the sign.
The lawn signs abounding throughout the city reflect what we have witnessed every time we walk with Rocky: Genuine excitement about the prospect of our city benefiting once again from Rocky’s brand of bold leadership. We all enjoy the frequent occurrences of drivers shouting out to us as we’re walking door-to-door: “Go Rocky!”
