I think Papabear and M109guy are right. Why would you want to associate the hobby with one side of the political debate? No one is going to see your bumper sticker and say "wow! I was wrong! I am definitely voting for that other dude!"

Plus.............

One day, somebody is going to be sitting in some local politician's office, asking for assistance with some legal issue (like the Wisconsin issue going on now) and as soon as that MV owner leaves the politician's office, the first thing s/he's going to say to the staff is "Find out who these (MV collectors) are-do they have money, clout, etc."

And a few days later, that aide is gonna' tell the politician "I wouldn't spend a DIME of political capital helping these people."

Because depending upon which party the politician is, the aide is either going to say "We've got his vote locked up, he's a true believer" or "Nothing we could ever do would get this guy to vote for us, so why expend any effort helping him."
