Just got back: look what I did...
In 4 places. These are 3 ft wide and I used wheat paste.

Go to http://bushcheated.50megs.com to download the high res file. The 3 ft ones are blown up 300% at Kinkos.

Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 09:57 PM by rosebud57
the wheat paste is just flour and water. I put it in tupperware and brought a wide wall paper paste brush. I di discover it is messy. Baby wipes would be good for the hands.

And I did it around 8:30 pm in a very busy campus area.

17. I have been glueing things since August during daylight in busy places
and I have not been caught yet. It's not vandalism if you choose places that already sport graffiti...

Use 3M Super 77 spray adhesive. It's portable and convenient.

27. Where can I get jpegs of this? Also...
You should consider adding www.velvetrevolution.us, since they appear to have a larger amount of information and it is organized much better.

I kick it with lots of taggers, and I'm sure they would enjoy putting up slaps of this throughout my city.

29. Delighted To See Florida Mentioned
Great job!

Ohio was, of course, a joke and a particularly sad situation since the SOS is an Oreo but I really enjoyed seeing Florida mentioned on your banners, too.

Keep up the good work!

Just the felon list and the absentee ballots that never arrived were evidence of suppression.

33. Arranging For His Appointed SOS To Assure Nader's Place On The Ballot, Too
Appealing the lower court's decision which ruled that Nader's party wasn't genuine was a huge precursor to the fraud.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is great. We need more low-tech stuff like this. Urban version of "freeway blogging." Had trouble with both links so, if you would, try again with that.

I'm totally impressed!

36. direct link to BUSH CHEATED PDF...
Kinkos is about $6 for 2 36"x24" blowups at 300%. There are 2 to a sheet so 4 for $6

DL the PDF here:

35. looks like I've been kicked off another server, PM me with an email
addy for the file.

"This site may have been removed due to a violation of the 50megs "Acceptable Use Policy"."

The high res file can be blown up to 300% at kinkos for a 3 ft. version. They print 2 to a page so about $6 for 4.

I really need a place to park these that I can't be kicked off.

I also got a new free web site for my flyer files. We'll see how long this one lasts.

43. Went to pick up a prescription last night and glued the small version
of BUSH CHEATED to two pay phones in front of the drug store. It took all of 2 minutes. It's not vandalism if there is already graffiti.

44. Me too
I've been putting up Bush cheated signs all over Houston. I think over the last 4 weeks i have put up 200 or more.

My strategy on how to do it legally: I post my signs over illegal signs that are already up. That way, the illegal act was the posting of the first illegal sign. All that I am doing is defacing an illegal sign-- at least that will be my story if I am ever stopped.

In addition to taking over abandoned kiosks for free newspapers and using them for my "Bush Stole The Election" flyers, I've started this other publicity campaign on election fraud on every weekend. USA Today vending machines are on a lot of street corners in downtown Houston. They don't put out Saturday or Sunday editions, and the papers sell out pretty early on Friday.

I walk around downtown Friday afternoons with a bunch of quarters. I restock my kiosks with flyers (they're very popular !!! I see people reading them all over the place), plus I open up the USA Today vending machines (75 cents) that are empty and put a big, bright "Bush Cheated" sign in the front window clip. It's like a weekend billboard.

I pay special attention to the empty USA Today machines near the downtown clubs, since they get a lot of traffic on weekends and attract a younger crowd. If a Bushite objects to my in-your-face sign he/she will have to spend 75 cents to remove it.

Anyway, that is my latest diabolical plan. I figure the world will know that USA had nothing to do with the sign, and USA Today will get an extra $.75 and possibly an extra $1.50 from each of its empty machines. Win-win, I'd say.

45. My phliosophy is similar, I do my BUSH CHEATED glueing in an
urban area and I know where my stuff will last and that is areas that already sport graffiti. I do glue using 3M Super 77 spray adhesive because it does take quite a bit of effort to remove. Compared to taggers spray painting their stupid nick names all over the city I do not feel bad about what I am doing. I don't touch newspaper racks because I work for a newspaper, but I certainly advocate others doing it.

Great ideas. We must use guerilla marketing if we want to be the media. Plus we get to piss off freeptards.
