David Dipino - Oct 03, 2007Supporters of 2008 Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul have taken their campaigning to the highway.
On Interstate 95 from Donald Ross Road in Jupiter south to Boca Raton, supporters have tied Ron Paul banners around Florida Department of Transportation signs.
Some motorists are slowing down to read the messages, which range from "Ron Paul, Ron Paul," to "Ron Paul Revolution" and "2008 Ron Paul for President."
FDOT spokeswoman Meredith Rapp sent out a bulletin to workers that if the banners are noticed to "cut them down today."
She said an e-mail went out as soon as the signs were spotted to "tear down" the banners that have been wrapped around signs as far south as Hillsboro Boulevard in Broward County.
"I'm not sure what would happen to the person who decides to put these banners up. That's up to the Florida Highway Patrol," Rapp said.
Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Tim Frith said the people who put these signs up will be "forced to remove them."
"If you're caught putting up banners on FDOT signs, you will be told to remove it immediately. We tell them they should not be doing this. If they push the fact it could result in an arrest," Frith said.
