Bartow, Fla. Residents Ordered To Remove ‘God Bless America’ Signs

City Demands Residents Remove 'God Bless America' Signs from Their Front Yards (The Blaze)

Residents in Bartow, Fla., have been asked (or ordered, depending on whom you speak with) to remove “God bless America” signs from their lawns.

The crack-down on private property may seem uncommon or targeted, but a city ordinance that limits the presence of signage on private property has been on the books for the past 13 years.

While residents are allowed to have temporary messages up only around certain holidays, there is an expiration date surrounding just how long billboards and posters can remain on display.
