Remember to get your Stop My Benefits form for upcoming Teabag rallies this week
Edited on Mon Apr-12-10 09:52 PM by zulchzulu
I plan on handing out forms for people to end their benefits and will have video and photos at the upcoming teabag event.

www.stopmybenefits.com

Make sure to at least print out some forms to leave for people to react to. This is going to be very, very funny.

2. Yeah, no hypocrites get to take advantage
of government services. They can go around shooting themselves in the feet instead.

Thanks, zulch, for creating this.

4. Thursday is going to be interesting...
I have a friend who told me he will dress up as Uncle Sam and hand out the form within the crowds at the teabag event in Madison. I will do my best to videotape the idiots. It should be very funny stuff.

Hopefully, there are people willing to hand out this form to at least some interesting stories at events nationally.

6. Most excellent! I think Nance's open letter to the teabaggers
should be handed out as well.

I'm sure they'd take umbrage at both.

27. You should seriously find a way to put a hidden camera
somewhere on your friend. The Youtube footage would be a hoot to watch.

3. A shame they'll cost more to print in color, but how else are you going to attract them?
Very nicely done.

5. They print alright in B&W
There's a PDF with two forms on a page that can be cut pretty easily on the site. Color is optimal for full effect, but gayscale at least gets people to look at the form and react... make sure you have some way of recording the event for comic fodder.

7. It needs a spot for a signature
as well as a printed name. It's more official if it's signed and dated, don'tcha know.

Funny thing is, if you google "social security opt out," you get a lot of info on folks interested in opting out of making payments. Getting benefits? Not so much.

14. How about refusing to drive on government-built/maintained roads, eat government-inspected food
and breathe government-tested air?

And they call us degenerates.

19. maybe you could add public libraries and fire departments
they will happily pay for a private fire department to put out their fire if they are not busy?

22. There really should be other tax subsidized benefits included
Such as (rural area) phone service, agricultural products, and others.

20. As noted above, it needs a signature line, but it should have an official form number
Maybe something like HCR 220-215. :shrug:

That being said, I love it. :thumbsup:

26. Where's the "Interstate Freeway" box? The "Municipal Water Treatment" box? Epic fail on this post.
There should be about 40 more boxes to check off.
