From the site: "You would have been hard-pressed to have missed the 
group's handwork over the past year. They've held signs at the 
intersection of College Road and Oleander Avenue, passed out anti-income 
tax leaflets on April 15, and even broadcast a continuous loop of an 
interview with Paul on a low-power radio station beaming on 1610 AM."
