Campaign signs get new life to help people with disabilities DURHAM, N.H. (AP) — The oversized Carly Fiorina campaign signs along New Hampshire's Route 4 weren't enough to keep the Republican presidential hopeful's campaign alive past Tuesday's primary, but they could end up helping people with disabilities live their lives more independently. For the past four years, University of New Hampshire professor Therese Willkomm has been seeking donations of discarded campaign signs for use in her occupational therapy classes, where students cut up the corrugated plastic to create assistive items ranging from tabletop iPad stands to a clip that can hold a sandwich for someone who can't use his arms. Willkomm said she's always looking for new ways to use everyday items to help people with physical challenges, and she urges her students to think outside the box, or in some cases, cut it up and re-use it. Under New Hampshire law, all campaign signs must be removed by the second Friday after the election, though signs promoting the primary winners — Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders — can remain.
