Help! My landlord just posted a huge Huckabee sign in my front yard!
Submitted by J.A.H. on Thu, 12/13/2007 - 17:01He did not even discuss this with me beforehand (which really makes me mad. I thought I had a good relationship with him). I tried to talk with him and object, reminding him that it was going to reflect on me and my family, but I was simply told - "sorry the deed to the land is in my name. Period." True enough. But what to do??
PS I live is rural Iowa

You should pay some hoodlums to rip it down when you're not home and then play the fool.
Honestly, you make him a gift box of Ron Paul stuff and mail it to him.
What are your chances of moving?
Depends....Are you required
Depends....Are you required to maintain the lawn? If so, then you have a case. If not, then you probably don't.
Your action of renting allows you that space as personally rented to you. In the same reason, it is unlawful for an owner to enter a home/apartment without giving ample notice. Just because he owns it, that does not give him liberty to do what he wishes to it.
You can thank your pandering liberal politicians for laws that protect the tenant to no ends....in this case, they are on your side.
As much as I would
want to just rip it to shreds, stomp on it... it would not be a good way to represent Ron Paul.. I think perhaps you ought to go talk to Mr. Landlord and ask him why he supports Mike. He has his reasons. And I don't think anything you say will change his mind because he has gone to the trouble of buying the sign and posting it. After you find out his reasons, then you could say why you support Ron Paul. Then go home and put up a RP sign right next to his... or on the other side of the yard. If he gripes about it, say "Why are you griping about it?! They're both great guys, and I think Mike would make an excellent running mate for Ron Paul!"
If he insists you take down the sign, then do it. Then make yourself a great BIG Banner and hang it off the eves of your house. Hey, its out of the yard, right?
EASY ANSWER: JUST GET A BIGGER RON PAUL SIGN...
AND PUT IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS... you then could say you didn't "touch" his sign... then if he moves it in front of yours... just move yours back in front of his... keep doing this until he can't go any further...

No different than...
That's no different than the landlord coming in and making you hang a Huckabee sign on your living room wall. Looks like a violation of a rental agreement to me. If you rented it, then you have the right to use it how YOU want to use it unless indicated otherwise in the contract.
red necks
I'd hate to discourage you but it's almost no convincing red necks. How old is he? Has he ever been outside of the USA? Does he talk like a red neck? Most of those who vote in this country are blind sheep. The only way to do something is trying to find out from the legal side if you have a right to also put your sign whoever you support. I don't know what else to tell you...
Is this on your own lawn?
If you rent the entire house and your landlord came over and put this on your lawn you should not only tear the sign to pieces, but you should slap you landlord around for mouthing off to you. You live in rural Iowa? Well than I think you know how to handle trespassers. Huckabee is a lunatic who raised a psychotic son.
Grow a set and take the freeking sign down. Geeze what a puss!

New Idea
I pretty much read this whole thread. I don't think anyone mentioned converting your landlord to supporting Ron Paul. I find it hard to believe that anyone who is truly informed would support Huckabee. So just educate your landlord on the issues.
What state do you live in.
I know the law in Cali, this might be enough of a reason that you can live for free for a few months. Well, not exactly free because you have to deal with a lot of BS which waste lot of time. But check the law.
Hey, if I was living close to you I would take down the sign, or have someone from you meetup group take down the sign
Call the Local News Station - They'll Love It
Just the kind of story they would love and it would embarrass the hell out of him! This is the kind of story they have on a night. Local tenant fights with landlord over political free speech on property!
PS Your landlord can't put anything he wises on the property you are renting unless it is specifically listed in the lease. Read your lead. Its like him leaving his car on your lawn. Not allowed.

No problem
You rent the land. You can take the sign down and do so immediately. Replace it with a Ron Paul sign.

Place Lein on Property
Look under the local (city or township) landlord/tenant ordinances. Often times if the landlord is abusive or a tenant has been threatened it automatically breaks the lease. In fact the invasion of privacy by your landlord may be enough to break the lease with a decent lawyer. Move out on the guy and let him pay the mortgage.
Be a little smart about it first. Send a letter to the landlord asking for him/her to remove the sign. Hopefully he/she will reply in writing. Use the documentation trail. It's your only hope for a good outcome. Otherwise, I'd just surround it with Ron Paul signs.
Send us your address and let's do a drive to send you 1000's of signs.

Dog torturer and Presidents son David Huckabee.
I apologize for posting on this thread again, but...
I feel like I am in a twilight zone episode,
-a candidate for U.S. President
-a man and a family who would live in The White House
-a man and a family that would represents all Americans around the world
raised a sick, twisted, pervert who would hang a dog, slit it's throat, and then throw rocks at this poor animal while it died. And daddy Mike Huckabee protects and covers for this act.

FIRE
I would like to repost my previous answer . "Set It On Fire"
tenant/landlord laws
check with your state on the laws for tenants. I think that as a person leasing a property it is legally yours as long as you are current on the rent. So it is your property and you do not have to allow the land lord to dictate to you as to advertising
C'mon for real?
Is this for real? Or is this an attempt to spam about Huckabee and his dog torturing offspring?
Anyone know what nearly all serial killers have in common? No? Ask Mike & David Huckabee they know.

Easy
Put a Ron Paul sign (or several) in your front windows!
Just Ron Paul the house up.
Just Ron Paul the house up. to the point where he can only get you take them down if he removes the huckabee sign

Do you have any snow in
Do you have any snow in Iowa? If so, just shovel a path in the yard up to the sign and bury it with snow. Call it an access route. You have to put that extra snow somewhere. :) Or else just shovel the driveway and bury the sign. From the forecast, Iowa is pretty cold right now and is going to stay that way. I'd say the snow would stick around a while if you've got it.
YELLOW SNOW???
How about just knocking it down and putting dog do do on it. That would just about do it!!!! ( in loving memory of the pooch who died at the hands of the hucksters child ) !!
Maybe it is just me -
I would not want too much of a confrontation with my landlord. It is pretty obvious he has a different idea of 'free political speech'. I would look at my lease to see if I am in my rights to toss the sign OR I would visit each one of my neighbors to stage a massive act of protest. LOL
I would talk to all my neighbors right away and ask each one of them to take one of my RP signs and stick them in THEIR yards on my behalf.
Your mission is not to sell RP, but to advocate for free political speech- to do something to help the 'underdog'. Even if they do not support your candidate or they say no - it is still ok. Some will do it, some won't - the whole point is to get them talking about RP. I think a lot of people agree it is wrong to censor someone like this and there is a good chance they will be willing to stand up for your right to represent the candidate you choose.
Even the ones that say no are still a planted seed. Maybe they will get curious about 'who that guy is' and they will find out more about him after talking to you and watching others put the signs up.

Take it down now. As the
Take it down now. As the lease holder you are in possession of the property not him. It's like saying he can come on the property anytime he wants since he is the owner. He can't even come on the property legally without notifying you reasonably as per your lease.
If you were leasing a building for a business the owner could not come and put up a sign for another business this is just ridiculous.
The guy is way out of line. I know you may not want to make waves with him but he has no right to do that.

Call David Huckabee, Mike's son for help.
Does your landlord own a dog? Perhaps David huckabee son of presidential candidate Mike Huckabee can "convince" your landlord to remove the sign.
