Got Milkweed?

Today We started our Got Milkweed campaign in our area. We live in a rural area and we have been driving up and down roads looking for Milkweed and hanging our little notes on them.
They are 2x4" notes inside tiny ziplock bags with fishing line tied in a loop to quickly hook around a milkweed plant growing near the road.
Just a little something to get more people thinking and maybe get a farmer to go around milkweed when he is mowing.
The Note Says:
