There was a controversy in Port St. Lucie, FL between the local Tea Party group and the City Council. This occured on 4 July at (ironically) Freedomfest. We had a presence in the parade, and had a booth set up with free copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. We also provided information about our organization and the opportunity to sign petitions if folks were interested in doing so.
If you are interested, here is a video of the sign and what led to the controversy.
So here is my version of the 1970 hit 'Signs' original music and lyrics by

Signs

And the sign said The City of PSL does Not Endorse
Nor does it Condone nor even Support what we had to say, of course!
So they pounded that sign right into the ground, and it wasn't a random choice
So I guess it's true they don't want to see the Constitution or to hear our voice!
Signs, Signs, everywhere there's signs
Talking 'bout our Liberty; Speaking our Mind
Do this, Don't spend that, Can't you read the signs?
And the sign said We believe in Liberty. And We'll Not be MuteSo they withheld support, denied we were strong, but don't you see it ain't the truth?To make a defense that they 'did not know,' or that it was a 'dumb mistake'
If God and Patriots are to be feared, I think it's time for a station break!
Signs, Signs, Everywhere there's signs
Talking 'bout our Liberty; Speaking our Mind
Do this, Don't spend that! Can't you read the signs?
Bridge:
Now Hey Obama! Can't you read? You've got to have a birth certificate to lead!
You can't even talk, no you can't speak! You ain't supposed to be here!
Sign said you got to be a citizen, Pard, so you're denied! Uh!
And the sign said Liberty or Tyranny: Your choice, Make it Today
But if we don't see how we're not living up to what the Constitution has to say
We've got us this precious paper, and if we follow it we'll all be fine
Thank you Founders for our Liberty, I believe it stands the test of time!
Signs, Signs, Everywhere there's signs
Talking 'bout our Liberty; Speaking our Mind
Do this, Don't spend that! Can't you read the signs?
