Political Activism in Fort Collins, Part 1A

Who writes letters these days? I actually get hand-written notes infrequently from people I know and funny postcards come in the mail once in a while, but it is rare these days. Who has time to get out a pen and paper to write? Electronic mail works just great, it's here to stay! Save a tree, why don't 'cha?

<Andy Rooney>Then there's those idiots who place leaflets on your car windshield for one reason or the other. 99% of the time they are useless (one time I was invited to a focus group to talk about the car I drive; I got $100 cash for one hour talking about VW's!) "Don't you just hate those jerks?"</Andy Rooney>

And, speaking of cars; You park your car someplace and do whatever it is you planned on doing... some shopping, get some lunch, whatever. You get to your car and on your windshield is a hand-written note! A HAND-WRITTEN NOTE!! Holy Cow! Somebody dinged my car!!!!

But no! Not this time. Someone took the time to sum-up the political ideology of the owners of our car based on (as far as I can tell) :

1) Is the car you drive a hybrid vehicle of foreign manufacture?

2) Do you have at least one bumper sticker promoting a political candidate?

If you answered yes to both of these questions, then it is important that you be properly informed in some way or the other. I'm sure you have access to the internet and you know what a Google Video is, because, I mean, who doesn't these days?

But, I don't know your email; but hot-damn THIS IS IMPORTANT! I gotta rip out a piece of paper right this minute and write you this message now before it's too late!

Anyhoo, here's the note:


The Hand Written Note

Somehow I believe for sure that Mulder and Scully have the answer and it may be possible that even this guy (or gal?) knows the THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.
