Help turn those campaign signs to art

Tired of looking at campaign signs? Wondering what to do with those campaign signs you posted in your lawn?  Well, the East Point Preservation Alliance has a message for people:
Attention candidates and residents: We want your used campaign signs!! The East Point Preservation Alliance will be accepting any and all campaign signs (with permission) that are otherwise headed for the landfill. The EPPA will be painting over whatever image is presently on the sign, and using Banksy style stencils to turn the signs into an advocacy campaign to help the EPPA save East Point's historic buildings, and return them to practical use by the people of East Point, for whom they were built. Help us to get a little more use out of each sign before it heads off into the abyss. We greatly appreciate any help we can get.

What is a Banksy style stencil you ask? Like this:
