Get your Thanks pResident Bu$h gas pump stickers here!

I hate to steal from these people but here is my version of the sticker you can put on a gas pump above the price.

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when men (and women) are afraid of the light." - Plato

We all need to remind Bush voters what they've wrought at every possible opportunity.

the colors, that's a lot of black ink to use up.

Nice work, btw.

They'll likely be torn off the pump by the first RW nutter who sees it.

They ARE made of paper, though, so you can scrub 'em off.

Slapping a sticker on a gas pump that doesn't belong to you isn't activism, it's vandalism.

Is it fair for you to make the people who work at the gas stations put in extra time to remove your stickers?

If you owned a store, would you want freepers and republicans to feel free to put their stickers on your front window, just because it's a place where a lot of people would see them?

I bet you wouldn't.

How about a little respect for other people's property!

How about a little respect for other people's wallets????


Really though this is a very minor inconvenience comparatively.

Small, indiscreet, a friendly reminder.

I like a small "Mission Accomplished" best. Rather subliminal I'd say.

Hummer works.......

gas stations?

Or do you believe that only freepers own gas stations?

And yes, there is the issue of the workers, who don't own anything but get 'stuck' removing your stickers.

"your stickers". They aren't mine, I was just answering a question about how do you like these stickers. I said I like "Mission Accomplished" best. Right about the price mark were everybody will be looking.

It's not like I thought that people should monkey wrench their locks with super glue or any thing. This works real good on pump locks or doors or just about anything. Hell folks could get real creative with super glue and I'd hate to see that. It's also not like drilling a little hole and filling ping pong balls with Drano then reseal the hole and dropping them into the fuel tanks. If you did that the balls explode igniting the fuel about ten minutes later after the balls soften and leak and make contact with the fuel. Of course it's not like senators telling freepers, freeped out in freeper land it's totally understandable that judges should be killed for decisions they don't agree with. It's not like I asked democratic election officials to purposely put too few booths in republican strongholds to create 10-12 hour lines knowing full well many of those couldn't wait that long.

Frankly I'm more concerned about senate and presidential monkey wrenching than I am about a little Innocent quarter sized sticker at the price mark on the pump. You are aware the President is monkey wrenching the government and attempting to cripple it's abilities with a "Starve the Beast" policy don't you. The certain senators that wish to expose judges to harms way at the hands mentally ill folks through senators enticement, now that is something you should be concerned about. I hope that you've expressed those concerns to your law enforcement and maybe the senators themselves. And the poor poor gas station attendant that has to clean off those little stickers won't for very long anyway. When they are replaced over and over again they'll just ignore them, SEE LA.

If you ask me, it's time to break out and dust off that long forgotten monkey wrench in the closet. I can tell you one thing there are masters and PHD's at monkey wrenching out there. Like I said earlier, if they could monkey wrench the electoral system itself, well it's time to take off the gloves. Just a teensy weensy bit more and boom, we're over the edge. So go ahead and kill the filibuster and unleash a great torrent the US has not heard for forty years. Kinda like "go ahead, make my day."

thing at a time...and the little things are worth caring about too.

And you have no idea of the things I've done in the last years. Your assumptions are meaningless.

...I could see this as an acceptable form of protest.:thumbsup:

Although, making those magnets would be expensive.

But, that way they could be removed.

I'm not getting up in arms about a 1" x 1" sticker.

It carries a political message and as fas as vandalism is de minimus.

it's a good thing you weren't around when they were getting ready to throw tea into Boston Harbor.

pay phones, shopping carts, doorknobs, you name it. Yes, it is a minor vandalism so don't be obvious when you put them on. Don't plaster hundreds on at one company to have to deal with. We just want them to be everywhere but not a grand nuisance to those tasked to remove them.

put one everywhere you go. People need to see it in writing. They don't yet understand what has happened to our country. Yes, it's minor vandalism but sitting on our asses waiting for the msm and the dem party leaders to stop shrub has not worked. We must do what we can.

Make larger signs for roadsigns. Don't cover up any street signs as that would not only be illegal but could cause accidents, but post signs all over your town. When they are removed do it again. Everyone will catch on and start doing it too. With repeating the message, eventually the pugs who are just following blindly will start to catch on.

BE THE MEDIA

viva la revolution

...but if you must, and certainly nothing anyone says here is going to change your mind, do so in knowledge of the risks you run.

Aside from confrontation with property owners, not all of which may be non-physical, there isn't much distinction about vandalism under the law; grafitti statues include stickers (of course, there are greater penalties for 'hate crimes'.)

Here's a collection of municipal laws/penalties relating to the crime. It's by no means all-inclusive.

If you're going to do it, be prepared for the consequences.

Too many gas and dash customers (and many more being expected this summer because of increased prices). It is highly likely that anyone trying this tactic will be caught on film and prosecuted.

Don't get me wrong, I love the sentiment being expressed. I just don't see any reason (at the moment) for a bunch of well-meaning dems to sit in the pokey.

I saw a van out of Scott Co. Iowa earlier this week with a bumpersticker on its back glass: "Don't like that price of gas? Well, you voted for his ass!"

of other people's property.

Whatever happened to the concept of "Two wrongs don't make a right?"

And, people, beware the backlash: You start plastering stickers on gas pumps, road signs, and so on, you don't think the other side is going to retaliate with stickers of their own?

How nice our towns will look after that competition escalates.

I happen to agree with your sentiments, but I value the idea of keeping my town clean more. Any stickers on any public property (street signs, telephone poles, etc) in my town will end up in the dump. I'll make sure of it.

You have NO right to litter my town (or anyone else's) to express your political opinion.

Redstone

Would you be bothered that people protesting in the streets against the war were causing traffic jams, littering the street, and keeping customers from businesses?

We have to start somewhere... something has to be done to get the word out. These are just little stickers!

would have the courtesy to pick up their trash.

And, by the way, this is the price of gasoline we're talking about here, not people dying in a war. Not quite the same thing.

Redstone

the people are dying in the war because of the gasoline so that Bush and his cronies can put more blood money in their wallets.

As for the sticker thing... we can agree to disagree. I just think something has to be done to counter the right and the Dems in DC aren't pushing hard enough IMHO.

And woe unto all who deviate from neighbourhood planting guidelines, or advertise for their lost cat, eh?

OK, Redstone, we won't FORCE you to deface the One-Hosed Bandits, 'kay?

You see me stickering a gas pump, you CALL the cops, 'kay?

Keep up images in Suburbia...

:yourock:

No, they ain't entirely my pumps, but the sticker will only cover the percentage I paid for.
:evilgrin:

This doesn't have anything to do with "planting guidelines" or lost-kitty posters. And you know it, not that you'll admit it.

It has to do with littering. And I don't have to put up with it in my town.

You may not have any pride of place, but I do. This is my home.

Redstone

First you're going off about the vandalism of gas pumps, now you've changed the tune to "littering".

If your town is anything like my town, being the Litter Crusader must be a full-time job. Especially when the winter winds blow those corn husks into your yard like it does mine.


Not that I'll admit to anything, you understand. Oh, no, better to keep quiet and be "Nice" and let the ReTHUGs run their hobnails ALL over our formerly nice little countryside...

I could see where using actual stickers could be considered vandalism. Stick the things on with scotch tape... just enough to hold it.
They can be ripped off in a second, don't leave a mark, would put a smile on some people's faces, and piss off the people we want to piss off.

I really don't see the harm in this... as long as you make them very easy to remove.

Printing them on Avery mailing labels would be fine. They come off easily, but not as easily as tape. Kinda defeats the purpose of doing it in the first place.

An even better idea would be to talk to sympathetic gas merchants and see if they would be willing to support having the stickers on their pumps.

Carter's presidency turned on gas prices and availability. Bush's could as well.

Since the mass media will not give space for the actual voice of the masses, they use such means as are available.

Bush and the oil Republicans are responsible for outrageously high gas prices. it is about time someone pinned the blame on the actual corporate and political culprits.

Thanks for giving credit to our site. Your's looks good too.

I ordered some of your stickers last night. Even if I don't use them, they're good for a giggle.

As far as nitpicking about putting a small sticker on a gas pump -which, I admit, is risky, given that you'll be filmed and your license plate recorded at most stations, so do it on foot :) - I don't give a damn. Our votes don't count, our voices are unheard in the media, we're propagandized 24/7...I'm not going to sweat a tiny act of civil disobedience because it'll take someone all of five seconds to peel it off. Good god, how whipped are we?

It would take a bit of sleight of hand, but no more so than it would take to deal the second card from a deck. You are usually sitting a couple of feet from the dealer. How close is their camera?

Forget the nitpicking critics voices....... I was doing stuff like this when nixon was running amok, still do.

And here we are debating whether putting a sticker on a gas pump is naughty. That is what is wrong with the Democrat Party. Everyone except Howard Dean and Wesley Clark and Robert Byrd and Ted Kennedy is tiptoeing around, afraid they might offend a Rethug by telling the truth. I wish I knew how to do the "kick" symbol. I would run it across the screen.

They're aware that they don't have the framework to simply go around calling Republicans bastards without looking wild-eyed and, well, insane. Republicans for three decades have been saying that they're the pro-family, pro-flag, pro-security, pro-God ones...and the opposite of Democrats. Therefore we're anti-family, anti-flag, anti-security, and anti-God--so when they call us twisted and sick, it makes more sense. We just look silly.

But of course, I wouldn't really expect 95% of the people on DU to think that through.

"But of course, I wouldn't really expect 95% of the people on DU to think that through."

:eyes:

But I still think it's a point that more people need to keep in mind.

up with facts and links, I would hardly consider speaking the truth as 'Bush-bashing'.

I like to print out the "American Psycho" image, (4 per sheet of paper) then write in my own comment. I find that aerosol spray glue is the best adhesive. It sticks well which makes it difficult for freepers to remove.
