I'm definitely not afraid of Ron Paul or his supporters, if they want to stand around on street corners and scream his name like fools, who am I to stop them. Besides, I am easily amused and in the big picture, they are irrelevant in this election.

However, a pet peeve of mine is someone marking on currency and there are Ron Paul supporters in our area (San Antonio) that are using red ink stamps to put his website address on currency. That is against the law and comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service and they are certainly not afraid of Ron Paul or his supporters. I would suggest that it would not be wise to continue the practice, so if you are a part of the campaign, you might want to mention that to them. Thank you and have a nice day. Civil enough?

Just an FYI, here is where the dollar stamps are coming from.

Also, just to let you know, campaign staffers who are mods on that forum have officially said the campaign does not like the idea of stamping bills.

civil enough. :)

However, I'm not sure what they are doing is illegal: http://www.bep.treas.gov/document.cfm/18/104

I am not a part of this and I doubt the central HQ, who really have very little control over the movement are involved.

And as far as being irrelevant, I think little by little they are adding support:

As far as I know, “defacement” of currency is only illegal if the action makes the denomination or serial numbers illegible.

“if they want to stand around on street corners and scream his name like fools, who am I to stop them.”

That’s funny, because no other candidates were doing sign waves this year until the Ron Paul people did it. Now the Fred Thompson people have taken to coming to Ron Paul sign waves here in NH and trying to crash our party.
