My daughter just called:

She always passes along really good ideas . . .
Today she told me about this (developing?) movement. We do not go out to dinner often, so we can easily afford to join in on the fun. Oh, I should add, this would be given in addition to our normal tipping routine.
We will mockup a dollar bill sized note with the message and post that here.

Cool idea
Gonna do some of that.

Excellent idea!

Wish I could go out more to do this. When I do, I will definitely remember this great idea.
I love this
Wish this was thought of and caught on sooner.
Might have gotten something Sanders related mentioned in the news for longer than 10 seconds.
I just spent a LOT of time on that link your daughter sent.
http://usuncut.com has sharp topics and honed explanations of the politics in play on issues. No fluff. Facts plainly stated and easy to check, for those who doubt. (No flaws there, either.)
But the real fun is in the comments. That's where the punditry takes place and the stories embellished. The comments are transparent and sincere and are sometimes longer than most essays posted here. There's debate among participants of every generation. Some stories, like "Top Democrats Just Joined Big Pharma to Derail Obama’s Drug Pricing Plan," had a few comments that I actually saved. Other pieces, like "Top NY Election Official Ousted for Purging Over 125,000 Brooklyn Voters," was delivering news that I somehow missed, and a few of the comments were unusually informative and investigative.
I made "US Uncut" a regular stop on my daily news train.
Meanwhile, my approach to news is more cultural than political, so ymmv.
Thanks for posting this.

IMAGINE if you woke up the day after a US Presidential Election and headlines around the the world blared, "The Majority of Americans Refused to Vote in US Presidential Election! What Does this Mean?"
Morning PriceRip, that is a very cool idea. Congrats to your
daughter.
