I was just reading in a different thread the letter from the Constitution Party:
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=118347
One paragraph stood out:
"The Ron Paul Revolution often reminds us of another revolution back in 1776. In that year, 55 men signed the Declaration of Independence. They signed this document knowing this would sever all ties with England. It was a point of no return. Not only was there no longer a safety net, each of these signers knew should they lose in their efforts, this document would turn into their death warrant. They were willing to sacrifice everything. Now it is our turn."
What about taking that concept and running with it.
Having a site that had a download-able copy of the constitution, and a way to digitally add ones signature to an ever growing list.
In 1777, 55 men signed the Declaration of Independence. They signed this document knowing this would sever all ties with England. It was a point of no return. Not only was there no longer a safety net, each of these signers knew should they lose in their efforts, this document would turn into their death warrant. They were willing to sacrifice everything. Now it is our turn.
Now, In 2008 we find ourselves once again facing an attack on our freedom by the ever encroaching threat of tyranny. ETC ETC (examples of civil liberties lost, examples of unconstitutional behavior by our gov't, etc)
---
And then let people sign.
I'm not even sure if this should be a 'Ron Paul' specific site - perhaps a 'link to learn more' AFTER you sign that takes you to Ron Paul information.
Thoughts?
