I think might be covered in the overall list above, but Christmas decorating weekend is around the corner, does anyone know if someone is selling Holiday-themed yard signs?

This is an excellent thread. To expand a little on one of the suggestions...

Check your local library(ies) for your favorite Ron Paul book(s). If it isn't part of the collection already, I'm sure they'd appreciate a donation.
