[RFI] BPL

[Jim Miller]

What permits would a person have to get to be able to hand out flyers
similar to what is done at a polling place on election day.  These flyers
showing information and URLs for the demonstration of interference as well
as the arguments here about the competition and possible financial failure
of investments.

Just my 2 cents,
73, de Jim KG0KP
