(Image: Motleynews.net) Having been raised near Athens, Georgia, much of my childhood weekends consisted of cheering on my favorite grid iron teams; most notably the University of Georgia and in the NFL, the Atlanta Falcons.

“It’s Only $1.50″

Born out of the enthusiasm espoused by the 2008 Ron Paul campaign for president, its influence in American politics cannot be overstated.
