WASHINGTON (Feb. 4, 2016) — In an effort to better archive the many speeches Senator Bernie Sanders has been giving on his campaign for President 2016, a request has been made to have his podium campaign signs include the city and state on them.
“There are many, many video’s out there of Bernie’s speeches,” said Daryl, a Sanders supporter. “Not having the city and state written on his podium signs causes confusion and a lack of attention to particular speeches of notable mention.”
Daryl points out that from the start, Republican candidate Donald Trump has had the city and state written on his podium signs making it very clear as to where he is speaking from.
“Republican candidate Donald Trump’s signs had had the city and state on them from the start,” said Daryl. “If the Sander’s campaign would just have this little bit of information on their podium signs, it would make tracking the speeches more accurate and less time consuming.”
Daryl later added that he thought the Sander’s campaign was merely trying to cut costs by not customizing their podium signs for each location on the campaign trial.
“I bet there must be some kind of expense conservation going on here,” Daryl said. “But what good is saving a couple of bucks if people can’t follow your current or past speeches without loosing interest and getting frustrated trying to find the right video.”
It may just be too much work to keep up with preparing dedicated signs for each of the different locations Sanders plans to speak at along the campaign trail.
And if there are any changes to any of the event locations, then a new sign would have to be printed on the fly.
Having to print and have delivered a special sign for each venue may add too much to the campaigns expense budget, and which may have prompted their using the same sign for each podium along the campaign trail.
With the price of color printers have gone down over the years, you would think this would not be a problem for the Sander’s campaign which has boasted record donations in the last quarter upwards of $20M.
Only time will tell if the Sander’s campaign will upgrade their podium signs.
“His speeches are so moving and are already part of history,” Daryl said. “You never know which one of those speeches will be responsible for realizing the political revolution he so eloquently has been advocating for.”
