I was thinking about this when someone mentioned putting "States' Rights" on the newspaper ad
Does anyone else wonder if the term "States' Rights" might automatically turn some people off?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big supporter of States' Rights, and it's certainly part of his platform. However, I've begun to wonder if the average person thinks of African-Americans getting knocked down by hoses when they hear "States' Rights"
Was the slogan tainted by the racial problems of the 1960's? Does it automatically turn off most liberals and some moderates? I think it is worth considering
I'm not sure what could be used to replace the slogan with. Shouting "Decentralization!" doesnt really resonate with anyone LOL. Maybe "Ron Paul wants Local People making Local Decisions"
