That doesn’t mean you can’t use your money to participate in one particular new demonstration, though. In fact, all you have to do is grab a pen, scribble on the cash you already carry, and spend those dollars the way you already do.
And given the general theme of this national protest, there probably isn’t any better way to get the message across.
"This is $1 more than GE, Bank of America or Exxon has paid in taxes," are the words encouraged to be signed upon your singles. You can personalize it, too, by including the favorite of all your least-favorite elected officials: "Recall [enter name here].”
Created by The Hippies Were Right group (now under Hippies United Globally), “America’s $1 Bill Protest” started this week to protest the inappropriate corporate tax policies of the U.S.

I have seen notes circulating with the simple words "Fiat Currency" written on it. I find this particularly savvy knowing that most of the public doesn't understand the implications of those two words together. What I have always wondered is how many people that come across it a curious enough persons to go and investigate what it means. Not many, I'm sure, but I still appreciate the effort.

well, it's only "defacing" if you render it unusable; just scribbling on it's a-ok - no illegalities

Free advertising for the cause is never a fail. Much better than a flyer because it will not be thrown away and guaranteed to be circulated. Protesting is good but this is not bad at all.

This is a good way to protest. It has been done, off and on, for decades.
I usually have an imprint stamp made up. Not too much text is best. Sound-byte stuff.
Another good tactic is to attach an avery-type label on each piece of your outgoing mail.
The attached image is one I made up a few weeks ago. It can be easily sized to fit avery-type 5160 and 8462 labels. I have several more.
For me, the biggest stab in the back from Obama was his not only getting us out of Iraq--I mean REALLY getting us out of Iraq, and then getting us involved in three new civil wars in the Middle East. Our children are being slaughtered on Obama's altar of avarice and greed in the Middle East. But I do labels for other issues, as well.

LOL, it has been done before. One thing they usually remind people about is that it is illegal to deface currency. As if I give a rat's ass. But thought it should be mentioned.

We usually barter, however. For someone who has a degree in growing plants, focusing on the greenhouse environment, I barter pretty good.
