"Gas Pump Stickers"

Those ads are great...even better, tho' -- sell stickers online for people to put on gas pumps for each brand of gas station, with the percentage that co. gets from terrorist countries: "56%% TERRORIST GASOLINE", or whatever it is for that co's products.

Instead of sending $$ in for TV ads you hope to see somewhere, this would be a self-supporting direct action -- you buy stickers and put them on gas pumps yourself.

It's something oil co's should be doing anyway, but since Congress and Bush havent' seen fit to identify how much $$ we send to terrorists every day, it'll have to be by direct popular action.

Let people buy millions of these stickers for their favorite gas stations at 50-cents each, and post on the self-serve pumps across America. Since business has gone self-serve, it's less easily controlled than the broadcast media.

A lot of little messages could be thought of, comparing each fill-up with the cost of box-knives, training, bombs etc.

I think we'd see it take off, and the controversy would be significant -- Congress and states would have to take notice and try to make laws banning such stickers... It would be a brew-ha-ha.

The Saudi ads on tv would increase exponentially, so the media should, in the end, love it.
