Illegal to Display the President's Picture Publicly??

A city councilman in Lancaster County, Pa. wants a local merchant to
remove a photo of George W. Bush from a stall in a local market because
the image is offensive to local Democrats, reports the Lancaster New
Era
.
David Stoltzfus has had the president's image hanging in at his Central
Market baked-goods stand for a couple years now. He says it is there to
honor the office of president.
But City Councilman Nelson Polite wants the picture down. He says
political paraphernalia has no business on public property. Besides,
says the Democrat, "Bush didn't win here (in Lancaster City). It is like
rubbing salt on a wound."
Because Stoltzfus has so far refused to take down the image, Polite says
he will ask the city council to change the law so that all political
items would be banned in public places.
