WHERE: More than 100 cities nationwide.
WHEN: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 - ALL DAY, starting late October 12
WHO: This campaign is not sponsored by any organization. It is organized by the Freeway Blogger: http://www.freewayblogger.com.
The Freeway Blogger is America's most celebrated freeway speech activist. He has been covered in the Sacramento Bee, ABC and NBC TV in Los Angeles, NPR California Report and more.
WHY: Freeways have become the town squares of today-that's where the people are. With most other means of mass-communication-print, radio and television-the message is subject to the control of editorial scrutiny.
Free signposting is one of the few venues open to the average individual to express themselves directly to their fellow citizens, and at minimal cost. A sign that costs 25 cents to make can reach tens of thousands of commuters.
"When the Founding Fathers gave us the right to free speech they did it for a reason, not just as window-dressing. Part of that reason was to give every citizen the ability to sound the alarm when they felt their democracy was in danger," said the Freeway Blogger.
