Tom,
Did you ever notice all those staples on the telephone polls? This has been going on as long as I can remember. I don't like it either. I also hate all those darn political signs every election time. I do my best to ignore them but it sure is ugly and usually ends up as garbage on our streets.

Tom, by that reasoning any protest that takes place on a sidewalk is wrong.

Not sure, but I think you could argue a difference between a public gathering and someone using public property to post a sign, poster, etc.
Same intent, but different ways of expressing them. I think lots of municipalities have laws about posting bills, but would never think of prohibiting the exercise of free speech in a public space.

Utility poles are private property. Note CHG&E/Telephone Co. ID plates on them.

Good point, Charles. I hadn't thought of that.
