Want the World to know about Atlas Shrugged? Wish you could spray paint “Who is John Galt?” everywhere but you're unsure about the prospect of going to jail for vandalism?

No problem.

Help us achieve our goal of plastering the country with 1,000,000 Who is John Galt? post-it notes before September 2nd.

That's right... ONE MILLION.

While we're at it, one lucky post-it graffiti artist is going to win big. Post-it, snap it, share it, and you might just find yourself at the ASP3 World Premiere.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Order your free pack of 150 “Who is John Galt?” Post-it notes (just pay shipping) from: http://store.atlasshruggedmovie.com/atla...

2. Post your new WIJG post-its in public places like...
- Gas Station Pumps
- Restaurants
- Public Restrooms
- Grocery Stores
- Movie Theaters
- Coffee Shops
- Hotels
- … and anywhere else someone might see it later.

3. Snap a picture of your new graffiti (make sure to be far enough away from the post-it that we see can the public environment).

4. Once you’ve covered your corner of the world, it’s time to show off your handiwork. Share the picture on your Facebook wall, Twitter feed, or in Galt’s Gulch using the hashtag #JohnGalt2014.

    I have ordered my pack, and will share it with 5 AS fans in the northern half of Los Angeles County. If we have fun posting those, more packs will probably be ordered and similarly distributed. Like Neal, I am not going to be in the photo contest...this just sounds like the sort of fun thing 'that I have always wanted to do'.

    Neal - you are not being fair to the old flip phones. When I first got one, it was like having a communicator from Star Trek. (Never got the Enterprise to answer, though.)

    What do you mean "make you pay money to post things on this marketing site"? No one is forced to pay money to contribute to the Gulch. In fact, we don't force anyone to do anything. This is a value for value proposition. If you don't want to participate (you don't see the value in it) then that's okay.

    In addition, I don't consider the Gulch a marketing site. It's a place for like minded individuals to get together and discuss stuff. A huge portion of the items posted on this site have nothing to do with the movie or marketing for the movie.

    However, we do have Galt's Gulch Producers who pay $3.95 a month for this status. We appreciate their money and use it to maintain this site and other Atlas properties. In return, we try to provide them value in the form of exclusive media (like special video clips and behind-the-scenes photos), contests, and opportunities. Again, no one is forced to do this. It's a value for value thing. If a Producer doesn't see the value he or she is free to change their account status at any time.

    I am in but I understand it is more free advertising for a movie. This site is also publicity for the movies and they try to use guilt to make you pay money to post things on this marketing site. Who is the moocher, again?

    I ordered mine and I hope they are 3M branded Post It's. It helps fund and insure my retirement. I was a little surprised there was a limit of only 1 pack. Heck I live in Washington State (the western part), I could probably do that many in a day without going out of my way. I will not be doing the photos however, I just want to help get the word out. Beside I dropped my cellphone and broke it back in 2001 when I retired. It didn't have a camera anyway, it was flip phone. Anyone remember those, they came out shortly after the brick..

    Printed 5,000 post-its a couple of years ago. Been putting 'em up anywhere and everywhere. Just happen to have a few left. Just doing my part.

    That would be helpful but as long as it is somewhere in the post we'll find it!

    I've already ordered the Post Its and am looking forward to helping get the word out. I do have a suggestion concerning the Submission terms, specifically the "Winner is responsible for all travel costs (airfare, hotel, food, etc.)" part. I suggest that you rethink that, and instead of burdening the winner with those expenses, that you take care of all of those expenses for the winner of the 2 tickets. On the one hand, the label of "mooch" and/or "moocher" has been used to intimidate Ayn Rand enthusiasts into becoming a regular "donor" . On the other hand, wanting to benefit from all of us placing the Post Its all over America without at least taking care of all of those expenses for the winner of the 2 tickets comes across as a huge mooch and incongruity. Those of us who are long time Atlas Shrugged fans are happy to help out with getting the pre-release interest built up, but at the least, the winner should have those expenses taken care of instead of being burdened with them. Burdening the "winner" with those expenses seems to make such a "winner" a loser in reality. Kinda reminds me of the essence of what it means to be a "winner" in the Bobby Bare song that you can hear at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JrlbzXK... . Taking care of all of those expenses for the winner of the two tickets would seem to be but a drop in the bucket compared to the promotional value that you'll be gaining from all of us seeding the Post Its across America.
    Please reconsider.
    Thanks

    If we submit in the Gulch, do we just use the #JohnGalt2014 as the post title?
