Colors of election

Do you know how you can tell that we are beginning to enter an election season? I am sure there are many signs, but I am thinking of one sign that is very clear to see and a powerful election tool as well. Pretend you are driving down the street one day before an upcoming election and you look around at all the grassy yards. What do you see? During any election season these days, it seems like you will always be able to find something next to the gnomes in the front yard.

Now, do you have a better idea? The answer is campaign signs. During an election, what would look like bright green grass is usually speckled with many different colors. Each campaign sign is different because it represents its candidate who is fighting hard for a victory. Each sign wants to be different and stand apart from all the others.

Some signs stick to the classic political colors of red, white and blue while others candidates go for other bright colors and patterns as a way to draw the attention of those passing by.

Why are these signs important? Sometimes, we get so caught up in our busy lives that we do not really have enough time to research our candidates like we should. When it comes time to vote, who will we vote for?

It is possible that we will see a name on the ballot that looks familiar and vote for them thinking they are the best choice. Seeing these campaign signs is one way of advertising a candidate so people can go and research themselves, but it is also just a way of getting a name out there to be seen and heard over and over again. After seeing so many signs, each day, your brain is going to remember those names when it sees them again.

So next time you are approaching a campaign season, take some time to look closer at the campaign signs than you might have before you started reading this article. Why does one candidate deserve your vote over any of the others? Make sure to take a little time and do some research before heading to the polls.

Vote for the candidate who will be most likely to represent all of your opinions and values. This is the only way to feel satisfied with your choice and truly know that you did all you could to pick the best man or woman for the job.
