Do you have to take these gas prices in silence? I don’t think so. (http://disruptthenarrative.wordpress.com/2011/04/24/gas-pump-activism/)
All you have to do is download this pdf, print out a few copies and put them, along with a roll of Scotch tape, into your car.
The next time you fill up, instead of watching in horror as the dollar amount on the pump races by as the gallons trickle into your tank, afix one of these to the pump.
Take care to not cover vital information regarding safety, etc. and don’t cover any advertising.
Then drive off with a smile on your face, knowing that when the next person drives up to the pump they’ll either agree with you and be pleased to know that they’re not alone, be better informed by your message or if it’s an Obamabot, you’ll have thrown water on their circuitry and ruined their day.
H/T nbpundit
I am so doing this.

As I've elsewhere, I take cruel delight in verbally pointing out to anyone within earshot the essence of this when I gas up ("How's that Hope and Change working out for ya?!"), but I'll definitely print out some that I can spread around as well ;D
-
I did this during the run up to the 2008 election. It really pisses off the people that operate the gas stations. They would remove them within an hour or two.
I bought adhesive labels, scaled the pictures to fit the labels and then I was able to put them on the pumps pretty quick. This is one of the labels that I used back then.

It would have to be changed now that he isn't a senator and that green part in the Gulf is now red. I had three or four of them (can't find the others right now) that had pics of Reid and Pelosi, too.
Exercise your free speech while you still have it.

Sounds like an Idea I can support.

I get so sick of the knee jerk populists blaming the oil companies. And besides, if the oil companies really are making record profits then here's an idea: invest in the oil companies! How many 401k and pension plans are invested in oil company stock? A lot!
Rush made a good point about this today, if there was really some nefarious conspiracy among the oil companies to squeeze every cent out of you, why are they begging for permission to drill? Increasing the supply of a global commodity would translate to lower prices, so where's the nefarious plot?

It pisses me off too G, I've owned Exxon stock for years, but somehow if they earn $0.08/gallon they are greedy sonsofbitches (hey, they explore, pump and process the product!) but federal and local government can bite $0.50 - $0.75/gallon (and they don't do sh*t but loot) and that's just damn fine?! People are fricken morons! I call this condition the Payroll Withholding Effect...people don't bitch about what they don't see and the bleeping MFM only lets them see one side, and in a dark and skewed light!
This campaign is the right approach. Post that graph with that jackass pic on it, that sends the message like nothing else. Even the great unwashed will understand its meaning, even if they don't like the message.
I'm printing off a sh*tload of these and keep some tape in the car. This is going to be fun! In their faces!!!
-
This would be a good one too. I think it would somehow be even more effective without any words or anything:

A commenter at Transterrestrial Musings warned that gas stations have cameras at the gas pumps to photograph the license plates of people who drive off without paying. They could press charges of vandalism if they wanted to.
Another commenter said, "If I owned a gas station, I'd put those pictures on the gas pumps myself, if only to deflect anger over high prices away from me."
Yet another one said that it would make a great billboard.

TEN RULES FOR LIBERTY GUERILLAS (http://stopshouting.blogspot.com/2011/04/ten-rules-for-liberty-guerillas.html)
Part of the charade employed by the existing Regime is to continue to make people believe that they are alone in their dissent and/or dissatisfaction with the ruling class. They need to isolate you and make you feel YOU are the outlier. A recent example is the derision lobbed at those who questioned Obama's background and credentials.
This has been written about extensively in various professional military training manuals. It has also been the subject of many papers, dissecting the evolution of an underground movement that overthrew an entrenched Regime, where to outsiders, the “sudden collapse” of an oppressive regime catches them by surprise, when in fact, it was predictable all along.
The reason for the “sudden collapse” is that the group knowledge finally reached a tipping point, where the “dissenters” realize that they are the MAJORITY, not the minority as the Regime would have them believe.
Sticky notes, as advocated at gas pumps and on stores shelves, represent what is known as “Counter propaganda”.

Read that earlier, Rickl, and EXACTLY!
Sticky note guerrillas unite!

Holy crap! I want to buy gas wherever this pump is. $1.53 a gallon?

Don't forget to put "itsaboutliberty.com" at the bottom of every sign that you post.
-
Do we want to own that?

What do you believe may be the possible repercussions, CO?

Hey, here's another idea: Take a twenty dollar bill (or any other denomination for that matter) and write around the border of the note: Remember when this thing used to buy more groceries? NOBAMA 2012 Use red ink so it stands out.
Unlike sticky notes, no one throws away money. Quite the contrary, each bill passes through hundreds and thousands of hands per week/month. A NOBAMA bill could travel all over the country and be seen by countless people before being taken out of circulation. And if enough people get involved doing it they couldn't take enough of them out of circulation to stop the overall effect.
This is something that everyone can do. Take one bill per day and write the message on the border and spend it. After a few weeks it could catch on and be all over the country.
(and no, don't write "itsaboutliberty.com" on money. We don't want to own that. Defacing money is a crime although it would be a tossup in court because of the protected aspect of political speech. Still, it's the NOBAMA message that is important to get out.)
-

Just an idea. You could mix it up with other conservative blog sites to keep it sort of anonymous.

That's a great idea. And, personally, I wouldn't put the website on it. I think guerilla activity is more effective if it's anonymous. Otherwise it looks like an advertisement of some kind. Plus, I think there are laws about defacing currency.
-

Too tired to be specific.
Leaving breadcrumbs at sites we visit is selective.
Sticking postits in grocery stores and at gas stations etc
is quite the opposite. Y'all think it's cool. Cool, I've already made
a note to buy a box to allow a pack for a different setting in each
pocket.
I did think book marks at bookstores. They'll bust a cork.

Now there's another nice idea.
-
Stick a few inside newspapers at a newspaper machine. "The news is all bad. Thanks Obama."
-
How about sticking a post it note on the window at a drive thru? "Remember when your money used to buy more than it does now? Thank Obama!"
-
It hit $4.15 per gal. (reg. unld.) yesterday in Central Ohio .
-
I is makin' a list and all these suggestions are on it. And from sticky gone viral too.
