When will signs be available to put in my yard to support Jack ? Where can I get a shirt, also ?
I live in a subdivision with a Homeowners Association which prohibits signage. There are several advertising signs for Sadler for Sheriff posted on the lot at the end of our subdivision, Stanley Cove, just off of CR825. Will someone please remove the signs?
We are not against Mr. Sadler–just the signs.
Thank you!
