We, the undersigned, petition the Baltimore County Council, not to take any action that would outlaw, limit or regulate the use of changable letter signs currently in use by commercial or religious organizations. In these uncertain economic times, it would have a detrimental effect on small businesses already feeling the effects of higher gas and energy prices. While we understand and sympathize with the Council\'s concerns for the safety of the public, these issues should be dealt with on an individual case basis, not a broad application that will hurt businesses and other organizations throughout the county.

I have been hearing from so many shop owners who are genuinely terrified that losing their signs will be the final blow to their businesses. This fight is about protecting the backbone of our community and I will not stop pushing the Council to listen to these local stories.

July 7, 2008

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not the only person worried about what this legislation will do to our local shops and churches. Your stories about how these signs keep our community connected are hitting home for me. We need to keep this energy moving forward until the Council listens.

Ridiculous waste of time. Maybe focus on the potholes instead of what signs a church puts out front

These signs are iconic for our local businesses and help everyone find what they need. Stop trying to make everything look boring and regulated.

These signs are how I get customers to stop in. My margins are already razor thin as it is. Leave them alone.

Total government overreach. If you dont like the sign dont look at it. Small businesses are struggling enough without this nonsense
