Some people have asked me what the art work is made of.

Most of the decorations are contact paper & 'funky foam', and held on with carpet tape, and duct tape. It DOES come off, as I've been replacing quite a bit of it. : )

Some of the paint is acrylic, and a lot of it's fabric paint. The fabric paint comes in all sorts of interesting textures and with special effects - metallic, sparkles, etc, and seems to be extremely weather proof. I used lots of glitter, also. These pics really don't do justice to how pretty it looks. I've used florescent, and glow in the dark paints, so it shows up well at night also.

Most of it has held up amazingly well with all kinds of weather conditions - blizzards, -3 degrees, gale force winds, and torrential downpours. The foam stuff doesn't seem to like heat, though, and expands and gets bubbles when it's hot. I'm currently testing something to fix that. Yes, I do have supplies of my craft stuff with me, and have occasionally had to repair or replace something.

I have been obeying ALL traffic laws, and being polite to all. I have had ALMOST no trouble whatsoever with police or anyone else. If anything, drivers behind me have been giving me more room than usual - almost no one is tailgating. When I signal to change lanes, almost everyone backs off and makes room for me to go <G>. I'll bet my risk of someone stealing my van is WAY lower than before <VBG>. I do tend to make sure I'm parked where I can keep an eye on it, though, or have someone keep an eye on it for me, just in case anyone would attempt to vandalize it. Have not had any incidents like that yet. I always try to park in the location with best visibility, and most traffic.

Have been getting LOTS of waves, smiles, victory signs, cigarettes waved at me, thumbs up, and very very rarely a 'thumb down' (but all have seemed polite). I have now lost count of the number of folks who have said, 'I love what you're doing', and 'your van is awesome'. Occasionally we are getting outright cheers and applause! This IS NOT about 'me', though. It's about FREEDOM, and losing our country! I don't think I've EVER had so much fun. I highly recommend trying this to anyone else who has a bit of an 'adventuresome' spirit, and some creative abilities.

Of course, this is now 'hand wash' only <LOL>.

NOTE: A few have asked me who is paying me to do this (ROFLOL!!!!) Answer: Absolutely NO ONE. I have been a full time homemaker for about the past 18 years. Before that, I worked as a computer programmer at IBM Corp. Last time I heard, there are NO secret ties between IBM and the tobacco industry.

I am nothing more than a PI__ED OFF (and fairly well educated) Grandma from Kentucky. It doesn't get ANY more 'grassroots' than that!

Some folks would like to know if they can help. Though I'm mainly driving this van all over the place in the course of my regular life (family & dog shows), I've also been making side trips whenever possible, and multiple extra trips, for instance the several times I've toured the Indianapolis and other State Houses). GAS expenses are incredible. At times, I've not been able to do as much as I'd like due to being short of yet more gas $. Any help - even a little would be appreciated, and it WILL ADD to the miles I can cover. If you would like to help with gas for the liberty van, my address & phone no. are above. Or, you can use PayPay www.paypal.com. Email is jlfarley@scrtc.com . Please make note on it that it's for the Liberty Van. If you would like a receipt, please include your contact info, and I'll send you one. It is NOT tax deductible, though.

Another thing I would love to find help with is legal assistance. I would like to set up some sort of tax free EDUCATIONAL foundation for AALF (An American who Loves Freedom). Then, contributions to keep the Liberty Van running might be tax deductible. I'm sure we can think of other worthy projects to educate about and promote FREEDOM as well.
