94-Year-Old Fights City Officials to Keep Her Massive 'Impeach President Trump Now!' Lawn Sign
“I can’t march anymore, and I can’t protest anymore, but I can put up a sign,” said 94-year-old Myra Becker, who plans to appeal attempts by local officials to force her to take down her massive “Impeach President Trump Now!” lawn sign.
“What else could I do?” Becker, who uses a walker to get around, told CBS Chicago. “This is a serious thing. Our democracy is in danger.”
“Somebody’s got to speak up,” she added to another local station. “I think the Republican congresspeople are wimps.”
Becker, who lives in Elgin, Illinois, commissioned her sign as well as a spare and one for her neighbor—all which measure three feet by three feet, eight inches—in February.
“It’s big. I didn’t measure it, but it’s bigger than I am,” said Becker, who noted she didn’t previously know about the city’s size restrictions. “It’s been out there for a long time. Nobody said anything, and I am surprised that they are now.”
