When asked if permission is needed to hang banners on a Bridge, this is what I said:

No, no permission is necessary...

Like I told Illinois State Police when he said my Messages were
"Not authorized"...

"Oh, but my Messages are authorized"

The Officer said "Oh yes, by who?"

My response:

"My Banners are authorized by God & the Constitution"
As I gave him my lovely, Irish smile.

I could see a smile of his own, break out on his face, underneath his mask....

And that, as they say....
Was the end of that discussion ☺
