The colonists were warned about the impending Stamp Act by several influential figures including Benjamin Franklin Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams. Franklin Henry and Adams spoke out against the Stamp Act warning the colonists of the potential consequences of the Act. The colonists were warned about the Act in various ways including: Benjamin Franklin wrote an editorial in the Pennsylvania Gazette warning of the possible consequences of the Act. Patrick Henry gave a speech in the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1765 warning of the consequences of the Act. Samuel Adams wrote several letters to the other colonies warning them of the Stamp Act.These three influential figures helped to spread the word and warn the colonists of the dangers of the Stamp Act.
The group that prominently protested the Stamp Act was the Sons of Liberty, a secret organization formed in the American colonies. They organized demonstrations, boycotts, and acts of civil disobedience against the tax, which they viewed as an unjust imposition by the British government. Their efforts played a crucial role in mobilizing public opinion against the Stamp Act and ultimately led to its repeal in 1766.

The answer will depend on what country the stamp is from. If it is a US Stamp, it is probably the Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad. I haven't found a British listing, though I have seen examples of British stamps with that set of initials on it. It might be a Railroad Company as well. I found no record of the initials used in Hong Kong. Perfins were common on many British Commonwealth stamps, so could relate to any of those countries.
