The City of Laramie's sign ordinance trampled on the right of city residents who wanted to communicate the most basic of political messages: early and continued support for a politician, thankfully, the City recognized the censorial effect of its political sign time limits and removed that form of political censorship last night, upholding a freedom at the very core of the First Amendment. Wyliberty alerted the City of Laramie to Constitutional deficiencies in its sign ordinance in June, noting the City of Cheyenne's history of losing legal challenges to similar sign restrictions. The City of Laramie acted immediately to place amendments to the sign ordinance on its agenda and to advance those changes quickly, culminating in final action on the resulting Original Ordinance No. 1989 last night. The urgency demonstrated by the Laramie City Staff and City Council in removing the unconstitutional language and restoring free political speech is an example of the commitment to constitutional rights that local elected leaders, officials, and citizens in all Wyoming communities should exhibit. Those Laramie residents who addressed the Laramie City Council supporting this act of deregulation also show how informed, engaged citizens can take a stand for liberty and constitutional rights for all. \[ \](https://wyliberty.org/javascript:void(0);) \[ \](https://wyliberty.org/javascript:void(0);) \[ \](https://wyliberty.org/javascript:void(0);) Tags: \[News Releases\](https://wyliberty.org/news-releases) \[First Amendment\](https://wyliberty.org/blog-tags/first-amendment) \[Free Speech\](https://wyliberty.org/blog-tags/free-speech) \[Freedom of Association\](https://wyliberty.org/blog-tags/freedom-of-association) \[ Get Ready for Weed Welfare \](https://wyliberty.org/blog/economic/get-ready-for-weed-welfare) \[ Wyoming’s Pension Plans – Objections to Reform \](https://wyliberty.org/blog/government-programs/wyoming-s-pension-plans-objections-to-reform) #### Related Posts ### \[There is No Direct Democracy Solution for Local Control of Data Centers in Wyoming\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/government-transparency/there-is-no-direct-democracy-solution-for-local-control-of-data-centers-in-wyoming) \[Transparency\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/government-transparency) ### \[Wyoming “Synthetic Media” Bill Aims at Deep Fakes, Hits Free Speech\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/legal-perspectives/wyoming-synthetic-media-bill-aims-at-deep-fakes-hits-free-speech) \[Legal\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/legal-perspectives) ### \[“News Source Shield Law” Treats Journalists as a Special Interest\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/legal-perspectives/news-source-shield-law-treats-journalists-as-a-special-interest) \[Legal\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/legal-perspectives) ### \[The Celebrated Fake Frog That Is Taking Down the Deep State\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/legal-perspectives/the-celebrated-fake-frog-that-is-taking-down-the-deep-state) \[Legal\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/legal-perspectives) ### \[Regulating “Dark Money” is Code for Censorship\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/legal-perspectives/regulating-dark-money-is-code-for-censorship) \[Legal\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/legal-perspectives) ### \[Defense Distributed and Citizens United: From Banning Guns to Banning Books\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/legal-perspectives/defense-distributed-and-citizens-united-from-banning-guns-to-banning-books) \[Legal\](https://wyliberty.org/blog/legal-perspectives) !\[logo white 002\](https://wyliberty.org/images/general\_art/logo\_white\_002.png) \*\*Wyoming Liberty Group\*\* P.O.
