The corner of Capshaw and East Limestone Road hardly qualifies as a bustling intersection, but a nearby billboard has been getting the area attention.
The billboard reads, "If you voted for our current president in 2008 to prove you weren't a racist, please vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you're not an idiot. Thank you . . . Concerned Citizens of America."
But they aren't the only citizens that are concerned.
Local resident Lee Daniels says, "To make the statement that a vote for 2012 to prove you're not an idiot, well that was saying, in my opinion, that whoever voted for him in '08 was an idiot, and that's just really inflammatory."
Not everyone takes the billboard so seriously though.
Area resident Brandon Fall fall says, "I think it's hilarious. I agree with every bit of it, and it makes my day every time I drive by it."
So who put up the billboard?
The owner of the ad space tells WHNT News 19 the concerned citizens paid for the billboard with cash up front. He could not pass along contact info.
The mysterious group leaves people with a lot of questions.
Daniels asks, "Who are they? Are they part of the tea party? Are they Republicans? Are they disappointed Democrats? Or are they just a large group of upset citizens who don't like the way the economy or the presidency has been run so far?"
They also have different motivations for finding them.
Fall says they are, "Pretty elusive, I guess, but I'd be in that group, if I knew where it was."
It doesn't matter what side you take on the billboard; it's hard to ignore.
