Pinellas County: Controversial Obama sign must go

PINELLAS PARK -- County code officials say a business owner must take down a sign that prompted protests because it called for "one nation under Obama."


Randy Heine's "One nation under Obama" sign, which he put up the day before Obama's inauguration, has provoked repeated incidents of vandalism from those who object to the sentiment.


Code officials mailed two citations to Randy Heine, owner of Rockin' Cards and Gifts, 7451 Park Blvd., in unincorporated Pinellas on the edge of Pinellas Park.

The first said Heine was violating a county ordinance that permits only one freestanding sign on business property. Heine already has his main sign, which bears his business name and special deals on naughty novelties, gay cards, lingerie, whipped cream chargers and rolling papers.

The second citation says that the fence Heine erected around the Obama sign is too high at 4 feet. The height limitation for fences is 3 feet.

Heine said he plans to fight the citations, which he sees as an attempt to stifle his political speech.

"My personal opinion is ... the government is run by Christians (who have decided) you've got to punish him," Heine said. "I feel like I'm being punished for exercising my First Amendment rights."

Heine's sign, which he put up the day before Obama's inauguration, has provoked repeated incidents of vandalism from those who object to the sentiment. The latest incident happened around 11:30 Monday night when a man and woman, both wearing hoods, climbed over the fence around the sign, painted over Obama and painted in God so that the sign said, "One Nation Under God."

Heine's public comments about the vandalism and his harsh criticism of Christians prompted a small protest in front of his store and the car lot across the street Thursday as 14 people gathered to wave signs supporting God.

Heine is unrepentant and plans to restore Obama to his sign this morning.

If I ever see a sign like that something is getting broken by me as well!

Leave it to an S.O.B. to make sure to kick God out of our country. Stamping "L" on this man's forehead, but it's a "free" country, right? (This offer excludes postage, handling, local and federal taxes, laws and regulations and can be withdrawn at any time....)

the best way to combat those types of infractions are to go and take pictures of friends and family of those in office that are also breaking zoning laws and demand enforcement

if it is on the books then he need to fight the validity of the law and/or apply pressure in the same many and if no action is taken then take the governing body to court for discriminating against him for not enforcing the law evenly across the board

it's a porn shop?

bet they just love him

i bet they do

if he was not making a profit he would close

obviously his business is wanted by enough citizens to keep him in business

again...this stuff has been going on even before Obama.
