http://twitter.com/Godbridge - Seattle-native Paul Kwilos stands along Interstate 35W on a windy Wednesday, grasping a sign emblazoned with the word "JESUS." "I'm a rebel with a cause," he said. "Came down to spread the word and the wind is not going to defeat me."

Kwilos is promoting a Christian conference for North Texas-based televangelist Kenneth Copeland, which starts August 2 at the Fort Worth Convention Center. But Fort Worth police said they have received more than 20 calls from drivers upset about the sign.

"When I do it as much as I can for as long ... you get so many beeps and you're thinking about how many people you are helping," Kwilos said. "Some of the police were very favorable; they were like, 'We are just checking on you. We are getting a lot of calls."

Police said some of the callers were concerned about the size of the sign and the possibility of it hitting a car. But police said other callers were offended by the sign's message.

"The Devil doesn't want Jesus put up in different places," Kwilos said.

Police said he isn't breaking the law and isn't soliciting or blocking the roadway.

"I think it's freedom of religion and I think it's fantastic he feels he can do that," said Fort Worth resident Kyle Morgan.

Kwilos said he doesn't mind the complaints; he said it comes with spreading the message. Though he has been asked to leave a location before by police in other cities, he said he has never been arrested.

"I'm getting to hold up the son of God's name over the freeway for thousands of people," Kwilos said. "It's brought me to tears even right now, thinking about it."
