My Take on BLACK THIS OUT

[justinpagewood]

As we build momentum for this movement, it's important to understand what we're doing.

Here's my take:

"Ron Paul supporters are the only group of people in this country that have enough drive, enough vision, enough intelligence, and enough purpose to truly change the course of history, and start a cultural revolution – not just a political revolution."

I really like that statement. +Rep

An excellent read Justin. I'd like to find someway to fit this in somehow as I think you really capture the essence of what this moneybomb will become in the coming weeks. We all have an opportunity here to change the entire dynamic. We need inspiration. We need that spark of creativity and innovation that invigorates our cause into a realm of something like the Renaissance.

My favorite from this is this:

"With this, each of us should become an artist of their own accord."

Indeed, my friend. Inspiring.

Awesome Justin!

This is a very good and well thought out article Justin. And I agree that inorder to win this election, we need a cultural shift and the easiest way to do this is by artistic expression in the form of T-Shirts, Posters, etc. As an example, look at the Obama "Yes We Can" T-Shirts with his face in that multi-colored image. It was HUGE for his campaign. The image you use at the top of this article could make an outstanding Poster and T-Shirt. It has a VERY strong message to it and can easily be turned into a simplistic, yet powerful, image for Ron Pauls campaign!

Easy to make shirt

white t-shirt + black duct tape + silver marker = BLACK THIS OUT

or

black t-shirt + white duct tape + black marker = BLACK THIS OUT

Exactly. That's what's so great about this concept, is that it's so easy to interpret and make new ideas. Definitely!

I'm the guy who put together the video from Ron's first Webster Hall visit titled 'How To Energize Your Republican Base' as well as helped film the latest slew of official campaign ads (the first being the 'He Served' ad -- new ones coming soon) and all I have to say is wait till the next one (Liberty HQ non-official campaign video) comes out (hopefully next week). I don't know if you read but we had another party for Ron up here in NYC (I was also in NJ earlier in the day filming his endorsement press conference and entrance to the Daily Show). It will definitely be tied to this tipping point theme and black out meme.

Pleased with your efforts and hard work Justin, my former student lol :p

Maybe we should have a separate facebook event for the cultural revolution aspect of it and for people who want to participate in the black bar instead of just the moneybomb. Cause lets face it, some people are just poor too young, or not from the US but they are likeminded.

Awesome. I have a suggestion, you folks should make a video for the grassroots to encourage us to learn how to more effectively campaign... by attending training session by YAL, Leadership Institute, American Majority, etc. There needs to be more encouragement for learning how to win elections, not just be the most principled.

We couldn't agree more. Winning (Republican) elections also entails looking the part, i.e. getting haircuts, dressing nice, etc.
