Blue Lives Matter Billboard IS UP!!
Donation protected
Thank you to all who supported and contributed. The billboard went up yesterday (5 May). Looks great!
My name is Scott Garland. I live in Charleston, South Carolina.
Just like in many other cities, we are having protests and attacks on our Law Enforcement Officers.
I have been demonstrating my support for them for a couple years now. I spend some of my free time standing at high traffic areas with a homemade cardboard sign which says “Blue Lives Matter”. I get wonderful support from my community… many waves, honking and cheers (of course, once in a while I get the opposite reaction). People seem to really appreciate someone showing this support. Many people stop to talk and quite a few police officers have stopped to say how much it means to them to see someone who shows appreciation for the sacrifices and danger they experience.
I will be renting a billboard with the Blue Lives Matter symbol (a blue line between two black ones) and those words superimposed on it in May of 2017. The cost is $800.00 and I am prepared to do this on my own.
I do want to give people an opportunity to contribute if they desire (thus this page) but...
I am not soliciting donations but I will accept them. I will do this regardless!
I will appreciate any positive comments just as much as a donation and will be sure to share them with our men and women in blue.
Thank you for your interest and support.
