Four states in the U.S. ban roadside advertisement: Vermont, Maine, Hawaii, and Alaska. Let's make Ohio the fifth.

Billboards ruin the natural beauty that is present in our state.They draw attention away from local businesses, since larger companies can better afford them. They can be a distraction while you drive.

We need to fight back against the intrusion of advertisements in our lives. On the radio, online, on television, and all around us, ads permeate our society. Let's take a step to push against it a little and reclaim precious space for our beautiful state.

Vermont is one of the most beautiful states in the nation, and it has plenty of tourism which has not been spoiled by the ban of billboards. A beautification of the state will help with bringing business in and will give small businesses the edge they need to thrive.
