Holy $h!t, this is awesome.... I just saw this video, alright so its 17 years old, but it has inspired me..

Apparently in 1991, a group of activists were so fed up with Jesse Helms continuing to block every single piece of legislation to fund HIV/AIDS research and/or treatment that they put an enormous condom on his house that said...

"A condom to stop unsafe politics.
Helms is deadlier than a virus."

If only we had one of these groups for every senator that voted for FISA.

Seriously, you have to check this out. This group called TAG (Treatment Activist Guerrillas)pulled this off, somehow, without getting arrested even though the cops came.

In case the embed is screwed here is the youtube link

This apparently is resurfacing since Elizabeth Dole has made a motion to put Helm's name posthumously on an HIV/AIDS relief bill.....I can bet he is turning in his grave as we speak.

Only problem is that now if someone were to do something like this they would be tased into submission, and locked up as a enemy combatant or something. At the very least you would be on the terrorist watch list until you die.
