From Kevin Brockmeier’s Arkansas:
They appreared in the spring of 1991, suddenly and in great numbers, like dandelions colonizing a meadow: thousands of green bumper stickers with white letters reading “Speak Up for Decency.” It was not long before a response emerged: thousands of yellow bumper stickers, designed according to the same template, but this time reading “Speak Up for Liberty.” Soon you found as many of these on the road as you did of the originals. Car for car there were probably a few more Decency supporters in the city, but sticker for sticker the two were running at a dead heat, since some cars sported multiple Liberty stickers — it wasn’t remarkable to see as many as a dozen papered across the back of a van — while most the cars with Decency stickers featured only one. (State by State, pg. 36)
I’ve done quite a bit of searching on the web and can’t find a single image of these bumper stickers. If you any of you out there has an image of one, please let us know!
