Sign Wars

Campaign signs are popping out of the ground, especially for school board candidates. We are all desperate to have people see our names. I guess the fear is that a voter will see our names on the ballot and think "never heard of him". Of course the voter thinking "I have seen his signs" is not much better. There are alternatives such as standing on the corner with a sandwich board and yelling at cars as they drive by or driving up and down streets with a sound truck like they do in some Latin American countries. Any other suggestions?

I am only putting my signs on peoples yards so at least I talk to one person per sign about why I am running and why they should vote for me. I may try a business here and there. So far I have resisted the temptation to put them on every vacant street corner.
