As we pass the $4.00 mark on gas, it's time to begin reminding the public |
|
I feel somewhat conflicted about this, as I know that our dependence on oil must begin to be weaned and these huge prices will speed that (though painfully for so many people in the interim - especially people living on the edge of poverty) but I also know that McCain will continue the addiction unabated, so I will use this politically and I do believe it's time to print up some appropriate stickers to place on the pumps.
Something like, "Like This?: Vote McCain. He promises to continue the policies that will keep you paying at the pump." Or another one would be two pictures, one with Dubya snuggling with a Saudi and then a picture of McCain snuggling with Dubya. The slogan would be something like "Four more years of this? Well, then, vote McCain. He promises to continue Bush's policies" Another: "Four More Wars? Can we really afford that? McCain, same as Bush, only older."
We can't rely on our broken media. It's time for guerrilla tactics.
Call it a variation on highway blogging. Call it a public service announcement. And yes, I suppose you could call it vandalism. But what they are doing to us is called robbery, so a little vandalism for the cause is acceptable to me.

McCain '08 - because gas is STILL to darn cheap!
McCain '08 - As long as we are there, why not Iran?
McCain '08 - History needs a repeat of the 100 years war!
and so on.

If you print up a bunch... send me one.
If you make $$$$$, donate to DU and the DNC! ( oh, and send me a couple of hundred, I gotta buy gas! )

5. Not going to make a penny off of these |
|
I'm going to print them with my own money and will happily send some to any who would be willing to help with the cause. If it takes off, I will need to charge a small fee to cover the costs but I'll cross that bridge when it comes.

6. In 2006 I printed paper labels |
|
with my desktop printer - 50 per sheet. It was the picture of * kissing the Saudis. I put the caption "After the election gas prices will double". I stuck them everywhere - bathroom walls-gas pumps-restaurant tables. They came off easily. Felt good.
