Imagine the woman who gets change at the supermarket times 10,000; the waitress who gets a tip; the guy at the bar who reads it off a bill at the bar and, mildly drunk, loudly brings up what the bill says to everyone else, that bill setting off a discussion among dozens of people.
Imagine the kid who reads it off a bill at his or her lemonade stand and asks his parents, schoolmates and teachers - in front of the class - what it means. Hairdressers who bring it up in the salon and office workers who brandish a messaged bill as they come back from lunch and tell everyone at work about it, where those with internet access start looking it up.
Imagine the congressmen who are afraid to handle the issues of Benghazi and the birth certificate - afraid that their voters will discover that they are too incompetent to deal with the issues - and therefore trying to silence the issues, getting them everywhere they go in DC, Virginia and Maryland - and occasionally handing them off to people wherever they spend cash. Imagine Kerry and Clinton, Boehner and Issa getting them. Imagine an already clearly paranoid Barack Obama looking down and seeing his secrets screamed at him from the face of the symbol of capitalist democracy he so deeply hates. Will Obama reach across space and know it was you who seeded the message? No. He cannot. He can only live with the terrifying fact - terrifying to him - that he cannot silence the American people. Not ever.
THE LAW is explicit, simple and on our side. It reads in total like this (emphasis by me):
Defacement of Currency
Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
Defacement of currency in such a way that it is made unfit for circulation comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service.
In other words, if it can still be used as
money, and the message itself is not illegal (slander, a physical
threat, etc) then it is not "illegal defacement" and thus, obviously, not illegal. And we don't want the bills to be unfit to be re-issued, we want the messages to travel as far as possible and for each one to be seen hundreds and thousands of times by people not in the proper internet channels who otherwise would not know.
The law properly understood can be found on numerous "unofficial sources" such as
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_it_illegal_to_write_on_money
although there appear to also be plenty in which the law is cited or simply misunderstood by people who aren't used to reading very basic law.
EXAMPLES AS PRECEDENT.
The following examples are not to be construed as an endorsement of any activity or political view by those entities and/or individuals below,
and the use of their web addresses, quotes and graphics is used per
Fair Use Act as an illustration of this issue for educational purposes

www.wheresgeorge.com is a now-famous online activity that follows money around the country as a form of entertainment. They write or ink-stamp www.wheresgeorge.com on one dollar bills (hence the "George" part) and then enter the serial number of the annotated bill at Where's George.com. Other players who then get a so-marked bill then enter the serial number online and can see how far and fast it has traveled, and that is, to my understanding, the entertainment of it (and one can understand how that might be fascinating). This they do and have done with no special government wavier for 14 years.
Further, from the FAQ on their website, courtesy the Fair Use Act, there is this:
#8 Is it legal to write on or mark currency?
Where's George? does not encourage
the defacement of U.S. Currency. The law defines 'illegal' defacement
as defacement that renders bills unfit to be re-issued. For the legal
details from the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, please Click Here
Where's George has been operating in the open for 14 years and has been covered by virtually all of the major media including as CNN, the Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today.
Where's George claims the total number of bills entered into the Where's George game system to date to be a staggering 221,915,028! There are many money tracking games out there, including the Canadian version of Where's George, Where's Willy.
AS LONG AS THE MESSAGE IS LEGAL AND THE BILL IS NOT RUINED SO IT CANNOT BE USED AS MONEY, MESSAGING THE MONEY IS LEGAL. Trolls will scream that I am trying to get you arrested but they're lying and they know it: this is 100% legal. IT'S JUST NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE AGAINST A DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT HIDING SECRETS THE MEDIA WILL NOT COVER.
EVEN
THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL USES THE DISTRIBUTION MODELS OF THESE
MONEY MARKING/TRACKING GAMES TO PROJECT THE SPREAD OF INFECTIOUS
DISEASES.
If you spend 10 marked bills a week for 4 weeks the numbers start becoming important: week number 4 bills rack up 140 views during the last week of that 4-week period. The 3rd week 10 bills get seen for two weeks in that month to a total of 280 for the month, week 2 gets three weeks of views totaling 420, week 1 gets seen for all 4 weeks totaling 560, for a grand total of 1,400 messages seen.
In the second month - assuming you start now, August 1-7 - that would be September - those same 40 bills rack up a total for the month of 2,240. If congress continues to do nothing, that means that one month alone of 10 message bills a week will continue to tell an important message in one year, a few months before the November 2014 mid-term elections, of 26,000 views. If you do 10 a week for 12 months the total views are an astounding 322,560. That's 322,560 times either someone thought about it, started a conversation with co-workers or the sales clerk, counter person, newspaper kid, McDonald's customer, gas station attendant, pharmacy check-out, bar, restaurant county fair, theme park, Disneyland, museum, hot dog stand, repair shop, Radio Shack, Walmart, K-Mart, Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren Polo, car wash, baseball game vendor, carnival, football game ticket, circus candy, movie theater, cab driver, on and on and on and on and on. As the tracking map above illustrates, you can live in the middle of nowhere on a fixed retirement income and be influencing people all over the country in a week to the betterment of America in a very real way - influencing people who never went on twitter, a conservative site or anything of the sort: a 100% political-truth- virgin audience which will be shocked and amazed to learn the truth when they look up your message online or speak to others who know the facts at work, the store, hairdressers - everywhere.
That's just you. There are now hundreds of very active Tea Party Fire Ants, and apparently thousands coming in 'round the edges, now. If only 10 TPFA spent 10 marked dollars for only 10 (we all spend more than ten bucks cash a week!!!) for one month that would be 22,400 messages sent and received, like telegrams. 44,000 if they spend $20.00 in messaged bills for the one month. Half a million messages in a year for the one months or - get ready - approx 6,336,000 for 10 people doing 20 massages a week for each month for a year. If 100 #TPFA do the same, that's obviously, 63,360,000 - sixty-three million messages, conversations, discussions. or if 100 people do it, 6 million in just one month! If 500 people do it, that's 30 million in just one month.

Keeping it real, the
flip side is that many people will not notice the writing. But the flip side of that is that many people who see it will mention it to their friends and discussions will reult in ten times that many people being aware; and kids will send the message out and even images of the messaged bills to people on the internet and they will each reach thousands, and in turns be seen by millions. one piece of art from this blog has been retweeted on twitter 2,300 times for a total estimated viewing of 9 million people - so far. The scenarios not just of distribution - but of discussion with many people at a time - are endless. We're now talking easily of 100 million people involved just with those small numbers of bills alone.
You have probably and rightfully complained every day how the media has not reported on the lack of progress on the Benghazi missing survivors or that Obama's birth certificate is a fake. You have cried out loudly, HOW CAN WE TELL PEOPLE? Twitter is one way, of course and it's a powerful tool when organized. We're working with Overpass groups now and have another trick up the sleeve you'll see soon.

Legally messaging dollar bills - like "Where's George" is the easiest and fastest way for the average citizen to get the word out in a non-internet way, and in the process put pressure on the media to report, the congress to take action and for Obama to do - well, whatever it is when petty wannabe dictators do when they find their scandals closing in around them via public awareness.
You can hand-write your messages, of course, but a more impressive-looking way which will be eye-catching because it mimics "Where's George" is to stamp them. Stamping kits can be found here and almost everywhere, were you just easily stick the letters in the handle and away you go:

OFFICE MAX (this one is under $3.00!)
STAPLES
Be you retired, mother with kids, office worker, on fixed income, in the suburbs, city or rural countryside, you can enjoy doing this quickly and easily and you'll know - with no doubt at all - that your message is making a difference, hundreds and thousands of times with people not on the internet and/or conservative media, who will be getting the word for the first time - by the millions.
A few bucks for the stamp, the fun of making the message. For messages we recommend
OBAMA MUST FREE THE BENGHAZI WITNESSES
and
OBAMA'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS FAKE
- and that's it. You are ready to take the message to the street for freedom in America.

Get those stamps today and start blending capitalism and the First Amendment into a powerful, socialist-crushing weapon for truth!

Before I post the rest of my comment, I'd like to say that I am definitely going to do this dollar bill idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd now this:
Frank, you wrote on Twitter: If Obama's birth cert a fake - & I swear it is & can tell U why - then we have NO records on him at all.
I responded with: That point can be mentioned on-air & w/ that point in mind so can how he got to be #POTUS in the first place.
I sure hope One America News makes just that point on-air. I hope that when they make that point, every single contributing factor to Obama being first a candidate, then a nominee, then President not just once but twice… I hope that every single contributing factor is reported on and fully investigated.
Fox News obviously won't, but maybe One America will? After all, look at all the immediate, short term and long term damage has been caused in the past few years. At some point, an exhaustive investigation is needed.
Its my hope that One America gets this started for We The People.
Hiya, Janson, (For those who don't know, Janson is one of our most valued Tea party fire Ant "insiders", been with us for a very long time). We all remain hopeful about One America but they seem to be hedging. Could it be the Wash post doesn't want to go there. Father & Son Herring, of herring broadcasting, perhaps? I just suggest you keep the pressure on them publicly on twitter. The recent CNN report on the Benghazi witness scandal was a very big deal, and the media on the NYC street seem to have had the blood drained from their Obama-mania. I think this is the beginning of the end of a presidency, and as that becomes more apparent, people with throw caution to the wind and dig out every bit of dirt they can for readers, ratings and Benghazi Bucks! Speaking of which, everyone will be interested to here when and how many go out initially, because we want to be able to report on the projected number of messages sent/received by October to inspire others. Thanks!
