Mike Meehan, of St. Cloud, Fla., has put his message on three billboards in the Orlando, Fla., area, ABC News reports. The signs have a picture of the World Trade Center towers in flames and the words "Please Don't Vote for a Democrat."
The Orange County Republican Executive Committee told WFTV, the ABC affiliate in Orlando, that the signs are "inappropriate." Bill Robinson, chairman of the Democratic Party of Orange County, called them "despicable, ignorant and juvenile."
Meehan is promoting a CD of a song carrying his claim that Democrats have forgotten the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
"No we can't afford to have another attack/and that's why we can't vote for a Democrat," the lyrics say.
Meehan claims that most of the response he has heard has been positive, the ABC report said.
