The Sticky Note Campaign

“HOPE AND CHANGE” PROTEST GAINS MOMENTUM ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Tens of thousands of ordinary Americans are joining in a silent protest against Barack Obama by placing sticky notes on gas pumps, grocery shelves, and anywhere else that will get your attention.

Clever, huh? Simple too. That’s what makes it so ingenious; it’s not destructive, it’s cheap, and anyone can do it.

The campaign’s Facebook page has over 65,000 friends, as is growing by leaps and bounds. The protest has gone viral, and is getting run on various other sites as well. Good ol’ grassroots politics.

So here’s the deal:

Grab a pad of large sticky notes and a Sharpie. Write “How’s that Hope & Change working out for you?” Every time you fill up your car, put your sticky note on the pump before you drive away. Make sure you place the note somewhere that doesn’t cover the pump’s digital readout, or cause the next customer to have to remove your sticky to operate the pump. Grocery store shelves sound like a great opportunity as well.

Keep it clean! Unlike the vitriolic protests we’ve seen from the left, this is a great opportunity to display a little civility.

This is a great idea. I wonder if I can find some sticky pads with Obozo’s picture on it. That would add a nice touch to the message.

Today, mine on the gas pump read: “Hope and Change? I HOPE I get CHANGE back from my $100 bill. Thank you, Obama.”

You can try and use this image if you want. Just save it to your desktop.
It's sized correctly for their stickypads.

Hey that worked out great.

I opened up the pic with MS Paint, changed the print size to 10cmX15cm and then used a small bit of scotch tape to affix it to a sticky pad.

I’m not sure where they are getting the Facebook number at 65K. I looked and the page with the largest following has just under 10K. . .
