Has anyone else recieved ...dollar bills

[samplegirl]

with Impeach stamped on them and the back side stamped worst
president ever???
This is the second one I have recieved. Guess they are floating
around Ohio.

1. I have passed a bunch into circulation.

[southerncrone]

2. Clever

[samplegirl]

6. You had a stamp made?

[uppityperson]

24. local peace group had stamp from somewhere, not sure if made or what

[napi21]

3. No I haven't but what a GREAT idea!

What would it take for a group like the DNC...er maybe not them, maybe a 527 group, to put together a program to send $1.00 to millions?

Maybe easier than that, what do you think of all of us DUers just writing IMPEACH on every bill we pass? $1.00,$5.00,$10.00 ot $20.00!

I suppose the rities couldresurect that old law of defacing our currency, but hell, I'd take the chance!

What do you think????

[Richard D]

4. I would not personally do this . . .

. . . but I'd suggest making it "Impeach Bush" rather than just Impeach since these bills might be around past 08.

[Contrite]

5. How about postage stamps?

You can order custom stamps. I wonder if they would take the order.

[samplegirl]

9. I know Office Max

will make a stamper with whatever you want on it.

[Contrite]

16. Sure, but I meant custom postage stamps

The guidelines from stamps.com don't say you can't put "Impeach" on it. You can't put *'s picture on it but looks like you can use the word. Maybe the folks at Impeachbush.org would be interested in it as a fund-raiser.

19. No, the postal service does not allow political stamps

However I can create post cards with just about anything you want on them and you can mail them.

Tell me what you want in a private message on DU and I'll make up post cards for those who want them. Then you can look for them at http://www.zazzle.com/maximus7

25. put flaggy stamps on upside down.

[Contrite]

29. I like that idea

people will probably start to notice and wonder why

[samplegirl]

7. Thats what I was thinking when

I recieved it. I think we should start this seriously.

[Speck Tater]

8. And don't let the fact that defacing US currency is a federal offense stop you.

After all, making a statement as important as that is worth some time behind bars. Right?

[sandnsea]

10. What is with you?

Defending millionaires and now scaring people into thinking they're going to go to jail for writing on money?? Boy, somebody sure did an establishment number on your head.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. It is a federal offense

now lets be realistic 'bout it

Will the Feds go AFTER YOU for doing it?

I sure hope not...

But you think they would not go after the DNC, or any other large identifiable body?

Of course we have been defacing Pennies for ever and a day at tourist atractions... but there is a reason why a party cannot do it

[Speck Tater]

14. OK. I was wrong.

United States Code
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 17 - COINS AND CURRENCY
§ 333. Mutilation of national bank obligations

“Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or
unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill,
draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking
association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System,
with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence
of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned not more than six months, or both.”

Apparently as long as whatever is done does not "render...unfit to be reissued...".

Still, it does not cast us in a very good light.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. I agree wtit yiou

many raesons why a PARTY should not do it.

As I said, chances are that the secret service will NEVER go after an individual though

[uppityperson]

26. Does not "cast us in a very good light" hahahahahahahahahaha

I see you have backed off on your previous statement "After all, making a statement as important as that is worth some time behind bars. Right?". Are you serious that fearing prison time is good enough reason to not put this stamp on a bill? Are you serious that putting this stamp on a bill casts "us" in a not very good light? I think you fear too much, or else you are joshing us.

[HeeBGBz]

20. It's only a federal offense if you render it unusable

Or cover any of the serial numbers. That's how Where's George can still function.

12. Every time I use my credit card

I write something on the receipt that goes to the merchant.

I had been putting "Vote Democratic -your country depends on you" or such, but I will start putting "Impeach Bush"

[samplegirl]

13. Good Idea

[ashling]

15. Thank you

Usually pay by debit/credit when we eat out. Always tip well so the waitperson is receptive to the message (and because it is the correct thing to do.)

I have mentioned it on DU several times, and you are the first to comment on the idea. Thanks :hi:

[calimary]

27. It IS a good idea!

I usually end conversations, where it seems fitting, with "visualize IMPEACHMENT!" I have YET to get a bad reaction, and I've been doing that for almost two years now. Phone calls? You bet. Even when I order something or call 411 for information. Plant those seeds EVERYWHERE you think they might grow.

There was a movement, promoted here by a few DUers, very early-on (I think it was the late, great nostamj who initiated it), to write "? W" on dollar bills and everywhere else. "Question dubya." There are quite a few of those floating around by now. I'm glad "IMPEACH" ones are, too, but I'd be sure to add a "w" or "bush" or "dubya" so that the appeal is VERY direct and VERY focused.

[flordehinojos]

18. neat!

i've seen the ones with "no to the bush agenda" and "say no to bush"... i like the ones up in ohio.
maybe they'll soon start floating down here in florida too!

[purji]

21. some of them must be making it to Michigan

I've seen three in the last month. None of them said, worst president ever, but all three said "Impeach".It makes counting down my cash drawer at work so much more fun.

[demgurl]

23. I hand write in a sharpie.

I write 'impeach', 'war criminal', etc.....Everyone uses money so it is the best way for me to get the word out.

[conscious evolution]

28. Sharpies are great

Every public bathroom I go into gets the treatment.Its fun to see the flame wars that erupt over some of the stuff I tag stalls with.
I'll start on bills now,too.
