In order to win the Information war, we need to get the word out on several issues. One new way to do this is by utilizing our vehicles, and turning them into moving advertisements. With a programmable LED sign displayed in our back window of our vehicles, we can display our message to all the traffic around us. One could display what ever message their heart desired. So why doesn't the Truth Movement all buy such signs and program them to display messages such as "Don't blame me, I voted for Ron Paul" (or what ever you feel is appropriate)

You can currently buy smaller electronic LED signs on Ebay for about $50 bucks. You can also buy the larger ones for about $600 dollars.

We've all wanted to say something to that other driver....
What will you say?

For all intents and purposes, this is a SAFETY Feature. Better informed drivers make for safer drivers. This would be its primary purpose.

"Baby on board"
"Icy roads ahead"
"School zone ahead: Reduce Speed: Speed trap"
"Thanks for letting me in"
"Sorry for cutting you off"
"Please pass me"
"Construction zone ahead"
"Accident ahead"
"Speed trap ahead"
"Interstate backed up ahead"
"Dial 911"
"Broke down. Someone help please"


It's secondary purpose, (for those who chose to inform the world, and exercise their freedom of speech) could serve as a message board. (It is basically just a glorified alternating bumper sticker, if you think about it)

Some examples could be:

"Vote Ron Paul to restore America to health"
"9/11 was an inside job"
"Who controls the media?"
"Don't eat genetically modified foods"
"End the war in Iraq"
"End Illegal Immigration"
"Obama was born in Kenya Africa"
"Why did Building 7 fall?"
"Collecting Income Tax is Illegal"
"Our Western traditions are under attack"
"Remember the USS Liberty"
"Get America out of the U.N."
"I have just been outsourced"
"Why do I have to pay for the Kosher Food Tax?"
"No more Electronic voting machines"
"Let's all drive Tesla Roadsters!"
"Keep jobs in America. Stop the outsourcing!"
"Long live Freedom of Speech, which includes ALL speech"
"Let's stop the attack upon Christmas"
"Stop the FED now!"


The possibilities are endless, and so is the potential if enough of us participate in this idea.

I commute 1.5 hours to work, I could play Ron Paul speeches the whole way!!! or anything else. I know I wouldn't mind having something to read on the way to work, others might like it. :D

This is actually a great idea...come next election. You should submit this idea to C4L as a call to action.

Well I just bought one for under $60 bucks total. (hopefully it arrives soon) We should really try our best to make this idea catch on.

Love it. I guess these are legal and not considered distracting?

I think ads on trucks, and signs on cars are distracting. Not really, but putting a sign or bobble head or anything else on a car isn't illegal...only if obstructing the view based on DMV rules in your state.
