Clear Channel is the company displaying our Big Brother Billboard", in Wisconsin. When first proposed they said they had to put it through their legal department. It went through and was erected as these images show.

Another Billboard scheduled to go up in Florida had been agreed to at a two month term and fee, the cost was Emailed to the TI. When the TI their discussed some changes involving adding words including, "micro-chipping", to the billboard already designed they were told that since they were not a business nor had they done business with Clear Channel in the past that they could only proceed if the billboard was put up for one year. Because of that the billboard is on hold.
In the, "Prison Planet", article Clear Channel is taking down a Rush Limbaugh billboard that declares him as a straight shooter. The radio show who put the billboard up requested this action. This is being done in reaction to the shooting of Representative Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and 18 others.
It was after this shooting that someone in law enforcement attempted to make a connection between talk Radio and the shooting. Later attention was drawn to a Sarrah Palin web site listing the Representative as being targeted.
One thing observed by us is that the Wisconsin Billboard has received no press from local news sources in the area. I would think this to be a news worthy event but nothing. Still billboards are a way for individuals and groups to express there opinions to the public. Let's hope that this avenue of expression is not about to be controlled as the news media appears to be.
This might be a good time to donate for any who can afford it while we still have this right to express our views. You can see how by clicking on one of the images or the, "Big brother Billboard", on my flicker site. It will tell you how to send money through paypal.com to me at treelaw45@yahoo.com. All monies collected will go only to the billboards. Prison planet article below.

Clear Channel pulls Limbaugh’s ‘Straight Shooter’ billboard in Tucson

In the wake of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and 18 others, the Texas-based parent company of a Tuscon-area talk radio station has removed a billboard referring to a popular conservative talk show host as a “straight shooter.”
The black billboard with white typewriter font surrounded by bullet holes promoting Rush Limbaugh’s radio program was okayed by the promotions department of NewsTalk 790 KNST, Clear Channel said in a statement to Talking Points Memo Thursday.
The media conglomerate explicitly noted that Limbaugh had not authorized the billboard, which displayed in Tucson for the last few weeks.

Clear Channel pulls Limbaugh’s ‘Straight Shooter’ billboard in Tucson 011210banner3
“This particular ad – which used the common expression ‘straight shooter’ to describe Mr. Limbaugh’s candid and direct style – was designed and contracted for by the local station’s promotion department – not by Mr. Limbaugh’s program,” the statement said.
Clear Channel continued, “In the wake of the tragedy, Clear Channel Outdoor management in Tucson quickly elected to take down this ad – believing that discussion of its interpretation would not contribute to the desire for healing in the Tucson community.”
