Is It Time To Re-institue The Post-It Note campaign? (vanity question)
myself ^ | 10/18/12 | Texas Eagle

Posted on 10/18/2012 7:22:58 AM PDT by Texas Eagle

A couple of years ago, somebody came up with the great idea of plastering grocery store shelves and gas pumps with Post-It notes reading, "How's that Hopey-Changey thing working for you?"

I suggest a renewal of that campaign with a little caveat: "Before Obama took office, gas was $1.84 a gallon. How's that Hopey-Changey think working for you?"

Thank you. I wish I could take credit for it. But, as Ronald Reagan said, it’s amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t care who gets the credt.

It would be enough to write:

“GASOLINE is $4.09 a gallon”

That speaks volumes.

That’s the lowest price in Manhattan. The highest is $5.00 at a mobile station.

Excellent. I’ve been sticking them wherever I go (grocery stores, Walmart, commuter bus, parking meters) for months now in a very liberal area of NJ. I was inspired by something I read here on FR. What I write on the note also came from FR:

OMG. Obama Must Go.

I have several pads of Post It’s already filled out and they mainly go on Gas Pumps, In Public restrooms, etc.
Never considered the grocery store because it’s always so crowded but I might give that a shot here down the stretch.

“Al Qaeda Endorses Obama!”

THAT makes a good Post-It note, too.

Slip into magazines in your doctor/dentist office, or in magazines in tire service waiting rooms, on the inside of bathroom stalls, on video box machines, on the faces of vending machines, leave one on the tables at McDonald’s, tape them to the face of postage paid envelopes you receive unsolicited...(and mail them off).

I would do it, but there's no chance my state is going for Obama and I don't see the point. If your name is any indication of where you live, then it's unlikely you'll make a difference.

However, if you live in a battleground state, or even a marginally blue state, I would say go for it.

Even though the idea is tempting, I'd have to vote no on this.

Those stores are someone else’s property. What right does anyone have to post political messages on someone else’s property?

Now, if you want to post signs, leaflets or whatever on your own property, go for it.

And no U.S. ambassador has had his corpse raped while a Republican’s been president.

(at least I hope the rape happened after the ambassador was killed so he didn’t have to endure it before being murdered)

Gawd, what a sad state we’re in when that’s something that can be typed about an American diplomat.

Please, President Romney, try the Kenyan Marxist for his various treasons and other crimes!

Gas prices is more straightforward. It's a clear price per gallon.

I wouldn't bother with grocery stores. Fewer eyes will notice a Post It among a hundred thousand products and shelf tags. Also, unlike the price/gallon, the weight of a product may have changed (like ice cream) and it might seem to be a comment on a particular brand.

Those stores are also regulated regarding pricing, shelf tags and so forth. Refrigerated shelves are specifically designed circulate air assuming which a Post It may interfere with. Also it gives minimum wage clerks one more thing to do in addition to collecting, sorting, returning unwanted stock left in random places, cleaning, restocking and a myriad of other things.

Good points.

Best to stick with the gas pumps.
