I would please like help for the money bomb production which will target all American's and support all independent candidates.
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?p=1674484&posted=1#post1674484

I would like to ask writers to write a letter articulating why someone should support the third party notion this November with a fund raiser slant. The purpose of the letter is it will be published on the website for people to email their friends. We can edit the details later.

Graphic Design people, please stand by until I come up with a brand image. I'll be asking for flyers, slim jims, newspaper ads and myspace type banners.

Website people, please volunteer for development (there's a couple relatively easy features I'd like on the website) and web server space maybe. I have a web server but I don't know how much load it will handle.

Anyone can submit material. just post it in this thread or email me.

Thank You

UPDATE: This is sorta where I'm at right now with branding

Yes, but socialists should be included, right? But you're a statist, so I dn't care for your opinion very much, only pointing out double standards in your emotionally driven drivel.

Thanks for the joke, Joe. The fact that Barr may very well be trying to sabotage the LP for the benefit of the status quo is mere emotional drivel while your fear of socialistic but honest candidates is quite completely rational? Allrightie then...

Well, a Bob Barr administration could well be scary, but I don't think it is a clear and present danger. And I believe I will be voting LP this year for a lack of a good alternative and because I have high hopes that the LP will be reclaimed from this infestation. And when it is reclaimed, I would like for it to have some hope of regaining its advantage in ballot access.

Meanwhile, Rhys, I will work on a sample statement tonight and should be able to post it for your consideration tomorrow.

Today we live in uncertain times. Recession looms, war rages and it feels like the very foundations of our great nation crumble. If ever there was a time to rely on experience of leadership, this would seem to be it. One must, however, stop and ask just what sort of experience our leaders have.

Of course, we know what kind of experience they have. They have experience in maintaining the status quo that feeds them well. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were created by the government to do a job that private enterprise had always done before, and after paying their shareholders millions they are now threatening to cost the taxpayers billions in bailouts. Did they ever need to succeed? Well, considering that both the Obama and McCain campaigns have at least five members of their respective inner circles (each) who were once directors, executives or lobbyists in the employ of one, the other, or both, it seems safe to say that they really didn't need to succeed, or even compete, to survive and make their executives filthy rich at our expense.

Election after election, many of us go to the polls determined to, as the traditional Americanism goes, 'throw the bums out'. Yet even when we do, how is it that we always seem to get more bums just like the last batch? Election after election, we weigh the merits of new blood against the promise that an incumbent can secure us more federal goodies and ensure that we get at least part of our tax money back in our own states. We have become beggars of scraps, praying against reasonable hope that we can get our own money back to our states and communities.

How did we get here? How can seventy percent of us call for an end to war, yet be told that the only two presidential candidates worthy of our consideration are both for more war? How can we call for an economic environment friendly to small business so that we can have a hope--a prayer--of achieving the American Dream, only to find our innovative entrepreneurs saddled with onerous regulations that only a huge corporation could ever meet? How can we work our way up from poverty to the great American middle class when the middle class is almost gone?

Do these people in Washington represent us? Really?

Nature's own remedies become illegal, and Big Pharma pays our representatives well. Manufacturing jobs go overseas in pursuit of cheap labor and propelled by tax breaks, and the multinationals pay our representatives well. Insurance rates go through the roof and become a major part of our budgets, and the insurance lobbies pay our represenatives well. Our boys and girls go overseas for reasons never exactly made clear, and the military industrial complex pays our representatives well.

Experience? What good is an experienced thief?

The politicians and the media ignore third parties as surely as Coke and Pepsi ignore Royal Crown. And why not? If you think Royal Crown went out of business during your father's childhood, you won't even wonder what it tastes like. Yet Royal Crown is a fine cola, and it could well suit your tastes better than either of the major players. So, who are you hurting by refusing to try it? Coke? Pepsi?

Only yourself.

There are other political parties in this nation besides the Demopublicans and Republicrats. So what is there to recommend them? Well, not experience. But then, since the major players are mainly experienced in taking 'contributions' (known in some countries as 'bribes') and doing the bidding of people and corporations wealthier than you where is our advantage in their experience? No, what the third parties have is a moral outrage that caused the people who make them up to volunteer their time and sweat to try to save this nation. What the third parties have is a disgust at the way money talks and those who have none to begin with are the first to be screwed. What the third parties have is a desire to represent you. Not the big money powers, but you.

You've heard that a third party vote is a wasted vote. Well, history tells a different story. History records that in the election of 1860 many people voted for an upstart party called the Republican Party, which had never, ever produced a president before. They elected that candidate despite the fact that he belonged to a young political party not known for its experience. That candidate's name was Abraham Lincoln.

What have the Democrats and Republicans done for you lately to convince you that a vote for either one of them is a useful vote? It honestly makes as much or more sense to 'waste' your vote on a third party as to waste your vote on one of the two parties that have brought us to this sorry state of affairs, doesn't it? Washington, D.C. now extends from Frederick, Maryland to Fredricksburg, Virginia. Over a third of us are now not working for companies that produce things, but for the government which does nothing but inhibit the economy and squelch enterprise and innovation. How long can we endure this? How long can we ape the old Soviet Union, where nearly everyone worked for the government, before we suffer their same fate?

They are getting rich doing the same old thing for the benefit of the same rich benefactors. If we are to have representatives in Washington who actually represent us, we have to find them and put them in power. There are some who are in the existing major party establishments, bucking the system--and they should be rewarded. But the majority of the candidates out there this year who are more interested in your needs than their graft are running on third party tickets.

It is time to take our republic back into our hands. It is time to ensure that this government of the people, by the people and for the people does not perish from the Earth. It is time to send the status quo to the showers and send in a new team. This year, for the sake of your children and grandchildren, for the cause of liberty, for hope for the future, please vote not for the experienced thieves but for the third party that best represents your views.

If only a few of us do it, we will sleep on the soft pillows of a clear conscience. If over a third of us do it, we will succeed and make history!

And now we have Barack Obama telling us that we need to bail out AIG because we can't live without it (even though it's just another insurance company) and John McCain telling us that we're bailing it out because the stockholders are regular folk who need their retirement plans (even though they devalued each share of stock by eighty percent). We need this?

"If by some act of Providence we could get rid of both parties and hire some good men, like any other good business does, that would be sitting pretty"--Will Rogers

Sound good? Would it take an act of Providence?

"Ohio claims they are due a president as they haven't had one since Taft. Look at the United States--they have not had one since Lincoln."

Lincoln was the first Republican president. What does that signify? That means that when Lincoln was elected the Republican Party was a "third party".

Now, either you believe that our election system is completely rigged or the majority of us can elect another third party president during any election. There is no third way. Either we don't have a Republic at all, or we have the power to "throw the bums out" and get some fresh blood into office. Simple, right?

What made Lincoln so good? He wasn't an experienced thief. He wasn't part of an established power structure dedicated more to its own self preservation and the ability to use power to garner perks. He was just a citizen trying to do some good for people.

Our Constitution was set up so we can have a revolution whenever we need one without spilling a drop of blood. All we have to do is turn our backs on the established power structure and hire some good people instead. Some say that a third party vote is wasted. If so, our elections are rigged and we need to fix it. Otherwise, all it takes is a simple majority of us voting for someone who wants into office for the right reasons and we've had our revolution!

There are people out there running for office for the right reasons. Some are running under the umbrella of the major parties, and many others are running as members of the 'minor parties'. They deserve our votes. As a member of the most important committee in the whole world--the United States electorate--we need to take our responsibility seriously and find these good people. Washington, D.C. now extends from Fredrick, Maryland to Fredricksburg, Virginia and the governments of this land employ over one in three of us. That's a lot of people who aren't producing anything at all, but merely clogging up the wheels of commerce with corporate-friendly and small business-unfriendly regulations on top of laws on top of statutes--and they're passing laws and tax codes that reward corporations for sending jobs overseas and, yes, even for failing. How long can our foundation of productive taxpayers bear this heavy load before the whole thing collapses under its own weight?

Don't be afraid of 'wasting your vote' on a third party. Be afraid of wasting your vote on the status quo--because the status quo is to make us all poorer and less free. Isn't this obvious by now?

Do you want empty promises, or do you want change? Because you can depend on the fact that a third party win would actually be a change. So, instead of the usual experienced thieves, how about electing some real people this year? The third party that suits you best is the best place to find one!

If ever there was a time to rely on experience of leadership, this would seem to be it. One must, however, stop and ask just what sort of experience our leaders have. They are experienced thieves. They take their salaries from our tax dollars and then supplement their incomes by selling their services to corporations.
