From a story in The Kutztown Patriot about a Berks County business owner who is not shy about sharing his political views with customers or anyone else who passes by his business:Anyone who drives through Mertztown on a regular basis could tell you that the used-car salesman is not a fan of President Obama. That's because, for the past two years, Howell has been devoting one side of the sign for his business, R.A.H. Auto Sales, to sharing his political views with customers and passersby.Read the full story by Cara Meglio at the newspaper's Web site.
The sign currently reads, "We can see November from Mertztown."
Other highlights from the past have included "If Bush was for big oil, Obama is for ACORN," "Fraud Alert: Obama gets Nobel for reading teleprompter," and, during the holiday season, "Merry Christmas, Impeach Obama."
Though many of the messages are jokes, Howell sees the state of the country as no laughing matter.
"I try to be funny with the sign, but I'm a serious guy, and what's going on is serious," Howell said. "People just aren’t paying attention."
Howell said his sign reached its "peak" last summer during the Cash For Clunkers program. Angry with the government for controlling how he ran his business, he vented his frustrations using the sign.
