Virginia Virtucon Documents Illegal GOP Activities!

Virginia Virtuacon (Virtual Convservative) recently put up a blog post Sunday Drive Sign Wars detailing the plethora of GOP signs; Davis, Allen, Stewart and Wolf, on major roads in Prince William County. The thing to remember here, it is illegal to put up signs on road medians or other public property in PWC, you can only place them on private property with the owners consent.

Virginia Virtucon, thanks for letting the world know that the Corrupt GOP does not care for local laws.

If your going to claim that your lack of signage across the district is because of your utmost respect for the law ... then you must call out the Dem candidates mentioned in that post as well. Perhaps you should clear up that law with the Webb and Pandak folks as well.

Greg, I am not a lawyer and will not waste my time digging through random legal statutes without knowing where to look.

I am a campaign operative and everyone in Northern Virginia politics knows about the no sign rule in PWC, go ahead and try to sue me for libel, or you can call any of the campaigns listed in the post and they will confirm to you the legallity of placing signs on public property in PWC.

Greg, tell you what, I'll call the County Offices tomorrow, and let you know the citation for the law that bans yard signs in the PWC.

Nate, most of the signs I documented weren't in the median, but on the side outside of the VDOT right of way. Sorry to disappoint.

Just because I don't know the VA statute that says I shouldn't kill anyone doesn't mean there's no such statute. Bad logic.

And there's no libel unless you identify an individual. Speaking ill of a group or an unnamed/unidentified person is not libel. For example, I could say something about Greg and unless you know who Greg is, it's not libel.

Anyway, see if this helps, nate; from the VA traffic code:
http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+33.1-46
§ 33.1-46 Character of signs, etc., in event of matching public funds.

On any urban highway upon which the Board has expended funds in the manner provided in §§ 33.1-23.3 and 33.1-44, the location, form and character of informational, regulatory and warning signs, curb and pavement or other markings and traffic signals installed or placed by any public authority shall be subject to the approval of the Commissioner.

(Code 1950, § 33-35.7; 1964, c. 256; 1970, c. 322; 1977, c. 578.)
