Get Rid of the Bumper Stickers

carsticker_1185For several months, I’ve had this bumper sticker on my rear window of the Mini Cooper. A few days before the election, a co-worker asked me if I would leave the sticker on my car after the election. I told her that in 2004 I removed the Kerry sticker from my car the night of the election and thatstickerremovall_1186 I probably would remove the Obama sticker, too, regardless of the election results.

On election day, I walked past a car in our building parking garage that still had a W—The President sticker on it. I remembered seeing Bush/Cheney bumper stickers forever. I’m sure that there are still some out there today. A car passed me on I-440 this morning that had a Women for Obama sticker on the left side of the rear window and a Kerry/Edwards sticker on the right side.

I find bumper stickers annoying after the election. I removed mine when I returned home, as I had planned to do anyway.

Personally, I’m not crazy about bumper stickers on my car, but I enjoy putting the presidential stickers on my car every four years. I believe that once the election is over, we should remove bumper stickers and dispose of them properly. The election is over. I used to feel angry every time I was passed on the interstate by a car with a Bush/Cheney sticker on it.

We need to work together for a change to produce change in the country.

Although I used to find it amusing, please also remove that bumper sticker that reads: Some village in Texas is missing its idiot.
