Tom Harty of Golden Valley said he finds it objectionable that Christian Life Center, home to election Precinct 7 in Golden Valley, displays the following messages on its lighted sign:
Side One: "SHOULD WE OBEY GOD OR THE POLLS? VOTE NOVEMBER 2ND"
Side Two: "IF AMERICA IS TO SURVIVE WE MUST ELECT MORE GOD-CENTERED MEN TO PUBLIC OFFICE"
Here's what Harty has to say:
Sue Virnig, the Golden Valley city clerk, isn't thrilled about the sign, but noted that it was more than 100 feet from the entrance to the polling place. "We did ask the church to remove them and they chose not to," Virnig said. She said the city is always looking for alternative locations for election precincts, but the need for parking makes them hard to find.
