There is a new grassroots movement growing across America involving sticky notes. That’s right conservatives and members of the TEA party have launched a grassroots campaign across the country leaving sticky notes on gas pumps, food shelves, vending machines, and other commonly visited locations Raising awareness about this country’s issues and targeting President Obama’s re-election. Commonly the notes say “How’s that hope and change working for you? Nobama 2012” although photos of various sticky notes have shown they target specifics like gas prices.
Now in Northeast Ohio these sticky notes are popping up in similar locations around the city and its suburbs. It appears that the grassroots campaign gained momentum from a Facebook events page “The Hope and Change Sticky Note campaign” which is scheduled to continue until January 20, 2013.
“Purchase a pad of large sticky notes. Write on each one, "How's that Hope & Change working out for you?" Every time you stop to fill your vehicle with gas, place your sticky note somewhere on the pump before you drive away. DO NOT be destructive in ANY way! Place your sticky note somewhere, so as not to impede the next customer's ability to read the pump's digital readout. “The Facebook page states in its description of the event. “After placing your sticky note, please consider taking a digital picture, then uploading it to our wall. Please tell us in which city and state the picture was taken. This is meant to be a "quiet" protest by our silent majority of Americans, to be served upon this administration!! Thank you all for your support!”
Those participating are encouraged to take photos of their note and post it on Facebook. Users quickly took the campaign one step further from the gas pumps and began placing the notes on just about everything. Facebook users from all over the United States have been posting their photos as well as sharing their ideas for what they put on the sticky notes. The common theme is focusing on the economy and what the current administration has or hasn’t done to help fix the problem.
So far other than maybe upsetting an Obama supporter those participating in the grassroots campaign has done nothing to damage or interfere with businesses or the people in general. In most cases no one knows who has placed the Nobama 2012 Hope and change sticky note, but you can bet our bottom dollar it was a conservative fed up with the direction the country is going.
