A Colorado couple say county officials trying to get them to take their sign down are violating their right to freedom of speech.

Willard and Cheryl Morgan's 4-foot by 8-foot sign reads "Bass Lake Kiss My ?", the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reported. In its previous incarnation, a word rhyming with bass was in the place of the question mark, but the Morgans removed it after Mesa County officials found that it violated an anti-obscenity ordinance.

Charles Stoddard, developer and manager of Bass Lake Ranch, the development the sign refers to, said he went to county officials again after getting complaints from homeowners. The county commission is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a resolution that would declare the sign in violation of land-use codes.

But the Morgans say that Mesa County can expect a fight.

"A question mark is not obscene," Cheryl Morris said. "I don't know where Mesa County is coming from."
