Pittsburghers receive postcards against campaign signs
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Residents in one of Pittsburgh’s more upscale neighborhoods have been receiving unsigned postcards asking them to remove campaign signs from their yards.
KDKA-TV reports people in the Murdoch Farms section of Squirrel Hill have received the cards urging them to talk to their neighbors or use social media to talk politics and take down signs “distracting from our beautiful neighborhood.”
Steve Schwartz isn’t happy about receiving the card, so he enlarged it and put it in his yard alongside his political signs supporting Hillary Clinton and other Democrats. He says he wanted people who might not have gotten a card to know that “this attitude is out there.”
Other neighbors say they’re surprised by the anonymous postcards and don’t plan to remove their signs.
