Sheriff pays for "Merry Christmas" sign
A sheriff in Georgia used his own money to pay for this sign.

HARRIS CO., GA -- A sign in Harris County is turning heads. No, it's not our Harris County, but rather Harris County, Georgia.

The sheriff there paid for the sign with his own money that reads, "Warning: Harris County is politically incorrect. We say Merry Christmas, God Bless America and In God We Trust. We salute our troops and our flag. If this offends you -- leave!"

Sheriff Mike Jolley says he believes most people agree with it.

"I spent 20 years in the Army to give everyone the right not to agree with it, and to voice their opinion if they're not and that's fine," he said. "But after being the sheriff of Harris County for 23 years, I believe that the vast majority of my citizens here in Harris County agree with what's on that sign."

Sheriff Jolley says many people who live in the county want to buy a sign just like it for their own yard.
