First thing: I can't take credit for the quote. It was "borrowed" from our founding era. I simply can't remember right now who actually said it although, I THINK it was either Jefferson or Franklin.

Getting back to the reference in the quote about "fearing the government", how long do you honesly think that the person/group who paid for the billboard would remain free of IRS audits, inciting _____ (you fill in the blank) arrests and sheer harrasment by the government? I have PERSONALLY been there, done that and can tell you - it ain't a fun place to be. The bottom line - where do we get MORE people who are willing and able to start "taking on" the federal monolith? What I have found is that a great many people will SAY they back you, or will promise help but when it gets right down to it - they "remember" something else that they simply MUST take care of and you find yourself out in the wind alone. The government ends up winning these battles due to the amount of money (stolen) and resources (paid for with the stolen money) that it can throw into the ring. Few people are equipped to survive the legal battles that may ensue and, yet, we MUST start doing something to clue people in, wake them up, and get them motivated or it will soon be too late for us all.

Our Country's founders knew that, at some point in time, that it may become necessary for us to wage another war hence, the quote about the tree of liberty having to be watered with the blood of patriots from time to time. Thing is - it's easier to sit back and HOPE than it is to do something proactive and most people will always take the easy way.

The billboard could be a wonderful idea - thing is - it would have to point/lead to another source for additional information. Any ideas on that?

Ideas:

Try getting those who have nothing to lose to help... The families from Ruby Ridge and Waco, the CT FFL holder who just got raided, those already in jail from FBI/IRS/BATF 'over-eagerness', the families of those 'accidentally' shot in raids, etc, etc, etc.
Second thought: symapthetic figures: a class of high school students could have a fundraiser, then use it to pay for one billboard.
Third possibility: those who do not live in America. Billboard companies would just as happily accept American dollars from an Australian bank account.
Fourth try: Pay in cash, and hope the billboard owners don't ask for ID.
Fifth: Political organizations... the Libertarians, the Constitutionists, the NRA, the Flat-Tax folks, etc. would LOVE to help expose the Socialists' true nature, and restore a love of Liberty.
Parting shot: MANY small sources, to make it inconvenient to track them all down. 10,000 legal billboards from 10,000 different sources paying cash might get them to not even try (yeah, right).

Sun-Tzu and guerilla warfare: use your strengths to maximum advantage, exploit the opponents' weaknesses, and use their strengths to their disadvantage. =^)

Very, VERY Well stated !!
(...as always...)

That's why, if my memory doesn't fail me, there is a portion of the U.S. Constitution that allows us (American Citizens) to close up shop on any existing government (if they over step their bounds) and start-up a new one....

Quite frankly...I have no problem with firing the lot of the present 'Elected' Morass and dropping back to the Constitution and the original 10 Amendments and starting from there.
