    Default Spreading the word one coin at a time

    Today I was off work, so first thing I got a package from the postman, I gave him a Ron Paul copper coin, he remarked he was thinking of voting for him. Next I went and got a haircut, only customer, I tipped my barber and then gave him and the other barber each a Ron Paul copper, they both thanked me a lot. Next I was in the new KFC they built after they tore down the old ratty one, I haven't had KFC for about 5 years or so, I went in, only customer. I asked the young man at the register how I could get two breasts.... He paused and said, hey, after I punch out meet me out back and I'll take you to the strip club... I started laughing the cute girl behind him had a big smile, I said, hey, I should have said chicken breasts. Anyway, I gave him and the girl each a Ron Paul copper, they both thanked me very much.

    Long story short, I am spreading the word one coin at a time.....

    Where'd you get the coins?

    I got my RP coppers at Provident. I handed out most of mine before the IL and WI primaries, don't know how much of an impact it had, but it made me feel good! Most responded very positively to the coins. A few asked what the value of the coin was and I responded that that one coin is worth more than the actual value of all the paper fiat money you have in your wallet!

    Provident sells them and they typically have them at shows. I've given a couple of these away myself:

    The ones I gave today I got on fleabay. I have already given out about 60 of the Provident ones, got these because I like the "keep the change" remark and the obvious date.

    I wear my "Federal Reserve: Stealing From You Since 1913" shirt occasionally and a surprising number of strangers come up to me with positive comments.

    LOl, damn.

    Maybe people hate government so much they won't even bother voting to get rid of it. Perhaps Paul should greatly shorten his policy views to "government sucks."
