Where is Truckin' Mike?

Sorry Atlanta, But YOu have NOW made TruckinMikes Wall O' Shame! In fact the entire I-85 corridor through Georgia and South Carolina have made the wall.

I have NOT seen one RP SIGN since I drove through Seguin, Tx on Hwy 46 on my way to Florida!

Tomorrow I'll be going through Charlotte, NC and then up I-77.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But Boy did the BIG sign make a difference. People talk when you shove the sign in their faces!!! EVERYBODY---- Get great BIG signs and mount them on the roof of your cars!!! IT works... The little signs did not seem to garner any interest... I almost got into a fight with an entire truck stop in South Carolina!!!! They were hannity trained. bush bots. --- But on the good side I gave a RP sign to another Brother Trucker, and met a LIBERAL democrat--- big union guy--- turned Ron Paul Supporter!! I haven't had this much fun in a while!!! I need more signs, flags etc... I may just make a difference.

Note: I not kidding... if you do not have a ridiculously large sign on your car ...get ONE! It works!!!!

Atlanta

We had the entire city plastered in banners on Paint the Town Ron the last weekend in September, and all of them have been taken down by now. So, your timing stinks. :p

Seriously, any suggestions where we can put them that 1) you will see them and 2) won't get removed by the local busybodies?

And, where do you get those ridiculously large signs?

Post signs where its a real pain in the rear to remove... That means get a ladder. Also place signs on abandoned signs and billboards like i did for the folks in Panama City, Florida --- on one of my shaming missions!

And like I said on another post --- thats been begging for money$$$...
Post some signs along major interstates!!!!!

On my quest of over 13,000 miles to spot RP signs, I've encountered only 6 signs outside the state of Texas! THIS is ridiculous!!! I spotted six alone in San antonio. Meetup sign parties are great! So why not actually post the signs that you've mADE! We need permenent signs posted on telephone poles, abandoned/unused billboards, trees along the highway(hang them with rope, no nails), farmers barns, on junk cars, tied to barbed wire fences, anywhere and everywhere.

NOTE: even small 18x24 signs work when placed close to the road--- like hanging from a tree. Especially if you put two or three in a row. They do not have to be in the city!!! In fact don'tput them in the city----Thousands upon thousands of bored drivers are just looking for something to read along the UN-Cluttered expanses of our major interstates--- outside of town.. There is NO sign competition there... They will READ the sign!!!!!! SO Please, buy/make at least TEN coroplast signs and post them up!!!!! that'll give Ron Paul $1000 dollars worth of advertising for only $20!!! Use your heads people!

Seriously, any suggestions where we can put them that 1) you will see them and 2) won't get removed by the local busybodies?
That is easy! Hang them from TREES! let the sign blow in the wind underneath a horizontal branch thats 10+ above the ground. -- the detractors can't reach them without getting a ladder and like I said in the above quote... put them just outside of town or in an area less cluttered... but even if they do take them down... they are cheap... so be vigilant and put them back up!!!

Note: If you look, you will be shocked at how many unused billboards and signs there are. In fact... this is the best place for 4x8's in the city... I guarantee that you will find more than enough if you look.

PLEASE get them UP!!

Where to buy signs??? contact Don or Pam with the Austin Meetup group, thats where I bought these. OR Design your own and get them printed in volume. Really a sign would be better if it had a message on it like "Champion of the Constituion" along with President '08.. my 2 cents

I can give you Don's phone # if you need it just PM me.
 
I'm giving away the rest of my signs... if anybody wants them ... but thats doubtful. You wouldn't put them up if you had them.

I have (3) 4x8's, (2) 2x4's and a bunch of small coroplast signs.

I'm done.

another quitter :)
I am going to work tomorrow

We know you won't quit Mike, don't get down. The sign police are really killing the sign effort, signs are still needed, but we need to be getting more personal contact! That is where you get votes

Come on over to Iowa with those - we'll take anything you have and we'll throw them up.

Come on man, you're our folk-hero, keep on truckin!
 
You can't give up man, you're like a god damn super hero! I put up three signs last week on overpasses in Northern Maryland, a week later only one of them is still up. There are just a ton of haters out there that tear these signs down as soon as they lay their eyes on one.

We need you to keep spreading the word, don't give up. Keep fighting the good fight!
 
Truckin Mike, we will not allow you to give up, and we know you always put the hammer down. Back to work!
 
Truckin Mike is like the Johnny Appleseed of Liberty

Johnny Appleseed is like the Truckin Mike of, Apples. I guess.
 
I, as a poor college kid, have no money, but I see some spots around me that could use some signs. I live in bloomsburg, right off of I-80... I could use those extra signs if you are driving through anytime soon.

are you in any of the nepa meetups? Hazleton/schuylkill/luzerne will be having another sign making party in the next week and doing a huge banner blitz. And the stroudsburg group just did one and has another planned.

Truckinmike will be coming through on i80 on monday i believe. We're ready for him in the hazleton area.

did they send the FDOT and FHP right after you to clean up too?

If took us Friday, Saturday and Sunday to get the banners up. Jacksonville is a huge city, I think we had 7 cars out for the first two nights and 5 on Sunday. I could have sworn that we were being followed.

We put up so MANY banners though that I think that the last one came down after about 10 days.
 
OK ... OK ... ok.. at least I know ya love me:D

So I thought to myself... frozen bloodied feet?? Hhmm? Not yet. Its not even cold outside. the least that I could do was hang more signs... yes hang signs from TREES out in the middle of nowhere... with no other sign in sight... and what do you get... A message relayed! ---- "Ron Paul is running for President '08".... everyone that comes around that corner will read that sign!!!! Yahoo... thats the spirit... And thats how you do it!

Now get'em up there!

I'm jealous of WV's trees! Our foliage is disappointing this year. Mostly dull green and brown. Some red here and there, and a bit of yellow mixed with brown. But very dull in comparison to other years.

Parker sure looks like he was having a good time. :D


I haven't been able to get out to check on our signs, but we should still have a bunch up on 80.. probably more on 80W than 80E. We covered the area between White Haven (near Hazleton) and Bloomsburg last week. I hope you see a bunch!
 
Yes... the trees really are beautiful this time of year.:)

And if folks would get out of the HOUSE and put some signs up... they could then enjoy some of the wonders that this world gives us.
