Creator of giant 'Vote for Trump' sign in New York teases run for Congress



The man responsible for the giant "Vote for Trump" sign that recently lit up the sky in Upstate New York is now considering a run for federal office.

It's no secret that Anthony Constantino, CEO of Sticker Mule, supports President-elect Donald Trump. Not only did Constantino create a Trump-related PAC, but he also ordered a 100-foot "Vote for Trump" sign to be constructed atop a Sticker Mule facility in Amsterdam, a city of some 18,000 residents about 35 miles northwest of Albany.

'President Trump is a unity president, and I'll do whatever I can to help him make America great for everyone.'

Now that Constantino and more than 75 million other Americans have gotten their wish and Trump has won re-election, Constantino is thinking about how he can best serve his president and his country going forward. With Trump tapping New York Rep. Elise Stefanik (R) as ambassador to the United Nations, Constantino is now mulling a run for the seat Stefanik will vacate after a decade in office, should she be confirmed.

"I am strongly considering running for the NY-21 Congressional seat. Thank you!" he tweeted Monday night.

Constantino went into greater detail about the possible run on an appearance on Monday's episode of "The StoneZONE" hosted by longtime Trump ally Roger Stone.

"I want to do whatever is most impactful in the world, what's best for the country, and it seems like this might be it," Constantino said.

According to the Post Millennial, Constantino and Stefanik went to high school together, and he has long supported her work. He has also already begun gathering a team to consider the next steps in the process.

"President Trump is a unity president, and I'll do whatever I can to help him make America great for everyone. If that's in Congress, I'll fight hard to win big and continue winning after I'm elected," Constantino said in a statement to the Post Millennial.

So far, Constantino seems to have one friend in his corner. In a statement to the Post Millennial, Stone said Constantino "has what it takes."

"He built his company from the ground up, creating thousands of jobs. He stood up for President Trump in the face of certain backlash. We need smart and courageous people who aren’t career politicians like him in Washington now more than ever."

A month ago, Constantino appeared on "The Glenn Beck Program," telling Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck that Trump "did tremendous things for the country" in his first term, especially regarding free speech.

"Nobody wants to have duct tape put on their mouth. Nobody wants the right to speech taken away," Constantino said.

Free speech was just one of many reasons that Constantino, a registered Democrat, constructed the Trump sign on his building.

"I'm trying to end this epidemic of anti-Trump hate that's been bad, really, for both sides," he explained to Beck. "People got to be able to be comfortable to say they like President Trump."

CEO wins legal battle to place giant Trump sign on New York office headquarters — and the community is ... happy?



Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino is one of many who the left has tried to silence for vocalizing support for Donald Trump. Despite being a registered Democrat, Constantino was horrified by the assassination attempts on Trump. In response, he posted a message supporting Trump and calling for an end to political violence.

“Well, he started getting death threats and people telling him to kill himself,” says Glenn Beck. “It got ugly.”

However, the hate spewed at him only served to fuel Constantino’s fire even more.

Instead of cowering under pressure, he decided to install a giant 100-foot wide “Vote for Trump” sign atop the Sticker Mule office in Amsterdam, New York.

Initially, the city told him that he couldn’t have the sign for various bogus reasons, but recently a N.Y. judge ruled that he indeed can display the sign.

Constantino, who just unveiled the gargantuan Trump sign at a large rally a couple of days ago, now joins Glenn on “The Glenn Beck Program” to share how New Yorkers are reacting.

“I think everybody's in love with the sign,” he says, adding that there’s only “two or three people that are upset about it.”

From what he’s heard from local journalists, the sign has been a means of uniting the community.

According to Constantino, one journalist told him, “Everybody is on your side — Democrat, Republican, Independent — in the local community.”

“They all want the sign because they all know I'm sticking up for free speech and free expression, and I’m trying to end this epidemic of anti-Trump hate,” he tells Glenn and condemns the Democrat politicians speaking out against free speech, including Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Tim Walz.

Giant 'Vote for Trump' sign sparks unifying frenzy in Upstate New York, Democratic owner tells Glenn Beck



The man responsible for the 100-foot "Vote for Trump" sign that now towers over a city in Upstate New York appeared on "The Glenn Beck Program" on Wednesday to explain to host Glenn Beck why the sign is a victory for all Americans, no matter which political party they support.

On Tuesday evening, Anthony Constantino, CEO of Sticker Mule, celebrated with a gaggle of fans and supporters of free speech after a judge lifted the restraining order on the "Vote for Trump" sign perched atop his building in Amsterdam, a city of some 18,000 residents about 35 miles northwest of Albany.

'Nobody wants to have duct tape put on their mouth. Nobody wants the right to speech taken away.'

Lawyers working with city officials, including Democratic Mayor Michael Cinquanti, had filed an ultimately unsuccessful lawsuit to stop Constantino's sign, arguing that it posed a "danger" to drivers and those who would stop and take a selfie with it, as Blaze News previously reported. The attorneys now have until October 18 to refile.

In the meantime, Constantino told Beck that the community response to the sign, lit up for the first time on Tuesday, has been overwhelmingly positive.

"I think everybody's in love with the sign," he said.

While Constantino, a registered Democrat, is a Trump supporter, he indicated to Beck that the sign represents "free speech" and "free expression" as much as anything else.

"I'm trying to end this epidemic of anti-Trump hate that's been bad, really, for both sides," he explained. "People got to be able to be comfortable to say they like President Trump, who did tremendous things for the country, tremendous things, really, for the world in his first term."

"Nobody wants to have duct tape put on their mouth. Nobody wants the right to speech taken away."

Constantino called out tech titans like Jack Dorsey, former owner of Twitter, and Mark Zuckerberg, current owner of Facebook, who once restricted free speech on their respective social media platforms.

He also named names of Democrats who, he believes, crossed the line and called for restricting speech in defiance of the First Amendment. Constantino described these efforts as "really wrong."

"I'm seeing really horrible things John Kerry said lately about free speech," he said, "Hillary Clinton saying horrible things about not wanting free speech anymore, Tim Walz saying horrible things about it as well."

Beck agreed, claiming that the Biden-Harris administration could not be "more clear" about its intention to "ban speech."

"Our government was helping Brazil try to get rid of X and Elon Musk," Beck said. "When [Musk] said the other day, 'They won't stop with me, and they're not going to stop until they get me,' I believe that 100%."

Constantino believes that the only way for this anti-American censorship to stop is for Democrats to suffer "a massive loss" at the ballot box, and he encouraged people from all 50 states to cast a vote for Donald Trump this year.

"It doesn't matter if you're in a red state or a blue state, you got to go vote Trump," he said.

"Who knows? Maybe even New York goes for Trump this year."

To help boost Trump's chances, Constantino and his pro-Trump political action committee are offering free stickers promoting Trump's candidacy. Those free stickers can be accessed here.

The entire segment between Beck and Constantino can be seen below.

Giant 'Vote for Trump' sign towers over New York city after judge's ruling



A giant "Vote for Trump" sign lit up the sky in Upstate New York Monday night after a judge's ruling determined that the sign is permissible despite grumblings from local Democrats.

At around 7:15 p.m. on Monday, a crowd gathered to witness a 100-foot "Vote for Trump" sign light up atop a Sticker Mule facility in Amsterdam, New York, a city of some 18,000 residents about 35 miles northwest of Albany.

'Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, the sign is an uplifting thing for community enthusiasm.'

The event would not have happened except that just two hours earlier, Montgomery County Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Slezak lifted a restraining order against the sign and the brains behind it: Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino.

A representative from Sticker Mule apparently approached Amsterdam officials back in August about the planned campaign sign. However, the company rep was instructed to get a permit and some zoning variances before moving forward with the project, the New York Post reported.

When the company apparently failed to follow instructions, a legal team working with Amsterdam Mayor Michael Cinquanti, a Democrat, and other city officials then filed a lawsuit, claiming that the sign presented "a dangerous distraction" that would impede "traffic flow." They also worried that people would stop and take a selfie with the "novelty sign," "all at the risk of injuring other operaters [sic] and/or passengers in traveling vehicles," the Post said.

Those arguments failed to persuade Justice Slezak, who determined that the sign was far enough away from major thoroughfares that it would not pose any danger. The sign is clearly visible from the New York State Thruway, though, WRGB noted.

Slezak also gave plaintiffs until October 18 to refile their case, which reportedly contained clerical errors.

"All I know is tonight the party is on and the lighting will occur, and there is no court order prohibiting the lighting and display of the sign," said Sal Ferlazzo, Constantino's lawyer. "So it's obviously a nice victory for Anthony and his team."

Constantino, who also happens to lead a political action committee to support the candidacy of former President Donald Trump, is cheering the decision as a victory for Trump and for free speech.

Democrats "want to get rid of free speech and censor America, and so the sign now signifies something even bigger than what I thought," Constantino said. "… In America, I got a First Amendment right."

"It’s my building, it’s a beautiful sign, and whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, the sign is an uplifting thing for community enthusiasm," he claimed.
