Anyone who is involved in a political campaign — whether it be on a local, state, or national level – knows the importance of name recognition. Many people in the voting public will often vote for the name that seems most familiar to them because, lets face it, they are not very informed on the candidates’ positions on various issues. This is where grassroots campaigning comes in handy.

Much of the familiarity that a specific candidate will garner comes from the visibility that they have in the general public and the best way to gain this visibility is through printed material. This is where websites like PSPrint Online Printing become valuable.

PSPrint offers professional printing of high quality signs, posters, custom bumper stickers, flyers, vinyl stickers and more. These items are vital tools that any candidate would need to help get their name out there, and the best part is that the internet has made them cheaper by eliminating the middle man.

These tools are also great for supporters of a candidate who want to create their own unique bumper stickers or signs that will benefit the candidacy. They even work for grassroots organizations who want to embed a specific message into the psyche of the general public.

The evolution of the internet has allowed for companies like PSPrint to make these products available to the general public at a relatively low cost. So go out there and make some signs supporting Ron Paul or the general ideas of liberty. Let your message be heard!

In light of the recent photograph that showed Michael Phelps hitting an olympic sized bong Kellogg’s has decided to drop him from their sponsorship.  Proper response?  A boycott.

And, its gaining momentum:

You can call Kellogg’s hotline at 800-962-1413 to share your concerns and let them know why you won’t be purchasing their products. They’re getting so many calls about this that you actually get a message saying “If you would like to share comments regarding our relationship with Michael Phelps, please press 1…If you are calling about the recent peanut butter recall, please press 2.” Amazingly, Kellogg’s customers are more concerned about their treatment of Michael Phelps than about the salmonella outbreak.

So, if you dislike how Kelloggs handled this situation do the right thing and refrain from buying their products.  If you want to take it a little bit farther give ‘em a call and clog up those phone lines by letting them know how you feel.

Seasteading is the concept of building large platforms, floating cities if you will, out on the sea in order to create civilizations that are out of the purview of the current governments of the world.  Think Waterworld, but to a less intense degree.  

Patri Friedman, co-founder of the Seasteading Institute, was recently interviewed by the guys over at Free Talk Live to talk about the concept and how far off in the future some of these floating cities might come to fruition. What he has to say might surprise you. Listen to the interview here:

Well, amusing in a sad, sad kind of way. Via disinter, a guy allegedly argues with Verizon over his phone bill:

It is time, once again, that all of the respectable citizens are required to fill out and file their tax forms with Mother America.  And, to give all of you loyal readers the proper motivation, I would like to point you in the direction of my article on indentured servitude.  It becomes more relevant every year.
