Also, if anyone is involved in law enforcement, isn't what these people are doing illegal? Their counterfeit money has some aspects very close to real currency and I believe the FBI is very strict on that.
Well, the FBI isn't involved in counterfeiting. That's the mission of the Secret Service.

Though I'd like to see them stop, I'd bet that a court would find their "queer dollars" to be protected free speech or free press.

They might be able to get them as "raised currency" since they are taking elements from a one dollar bill and putting three dollar markings on the corners. There's two problems with that. First, the aren't raising it to a valid denomination, so it might not be considered counterfeiting. Second, they could change the "ONE DOLLAR" marking at the bottom of the bill to "THREE DOLLARS" and change the picture to someone else (Bush?) and the wouldn't be counterfeiting anything.

If you want to pursue it, you could contact the United States Secret Service. They have a field office in Cleveland. The phone number is 216-706-4365. The address is 6100 Rokside Woods Blvd, Cleveland, OH 44131-2334. Good luck.
