Here are my ideas:

An ocean of tea can set us free!
The dumping of tea that set us free!
Tea Time ending Tyranny!

The POLL here, grabbed from Dailypaul.com

http://www.pollburner.com/takePoll.php?id=6faf203295a8


What would the media say about the two frontrunners in this poll?

- The two front runners:

No taxation for global occupation!
= What the hell, global occupation?

No taxation without representation!
= No representation? - CONGRESS is not representing the people of America? 70% want out of Iraq? - And they keep funding it? Thats bullshit! Yea no taxation without representation!

Please go vote. Cheers. Edit: Not my poll or anything, I just don't want that global occupation one to win. They all need work imo.

We can't expect the same 38,000 people to keep donating we need more support. Hit the pavement with your Slim Jims and hand them out to everyone that will take one. They only cost $5 for 100. Focus on older people they vote at a higher percentage than any other group.

Can I just add...I think this is really stupid actually. It's not a bar mitzvah or wedding or some big party somewhere. Catchy or not, it is not fitting. I personally think some sort of slogan is unnecessary and can be dealt with once we get the site up and running, but nevertheless if we have some sort of slogan it should not evoke, whether intentional or not, an image of partying.

Huh? I was not even thinking of "partying" when I read the quote. I was thinking more in line as a group- beginning to celebrate our victory over the establishement.

Bar Mitzvah, wedding, some big party, partying?- WHAT?! Where on earth did you come up with that?

I was thinking of party as in political party. It's actually a pretty clever play on words.

People here may not go that route, but I guarantee you the average person will definitely see that phrase and think exactly what I thought. You even say why what I am saying will happen. You said you were thinking more in line with "beginning to celebrate." A celebration is exactly what a party is. So you provide your own answer actually. Anyway, I am telling you. This slogan will be very confusing. And it sounds to joyful, which is not what we want. We want something sincere and arousing.

I disagree with your notion.

I think the slogan is just that- sincere and arousing.

Moreover, people will see that this comemorates the Boston Tea Party. I doubt they are that stupid.

You are right in one respect, people will interpret it the way they want to. We have a diverse country. I seriously doubt it will have this negative effect like "partying". :rolleyes:


FYI, a celebration is not necessarily a party. And are party is not necessarily a celebration.

"the party has just begun" -I think it works at all levels because it can be interpreted on so many different ways.

I like Give me liberty or give me death the best. Its a classic, why not go with it?

And I see what you're saying about the other idea, and you're probably right.:( So I say we use "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" the most. It will also strengthen the BTP theme a lot, which will make it more similar to Nov.5th since it had a very strong theme, in fact almost too strong lol.

I think it should be a tax thing. I'll go with the "no taxation for global occupation". It actually makes you stop and think. The "party has just begun" sounds like you're promoting something else, I'm not sure what. But definitely not a liberty and freedom revolution.

Adam0980
11-07-2007, 11:22 AM
Couple of quick things...

I am not making a judgment about people's intelligence. It is about connections. The average person will most likely see something that says the party is just beginning as a kickoff to some celebration. That has nothing to do with intelligence. It's just custom. Most people will initially think of a gathering and not some organization (meaning a political party). And I wasn't suggesting whether it will have positive or negative effect. I am only saying it simply doesn't work because of the easy possibility of most people initially thinking of a big party.

As for Patrick Henry's saying, I think that may just not connect well with the BTP. It was more about taxation wasn't it. The sentiment of liberty or death wasn't really paramount at the BTP. In fact, I agree with what someone said above about this phrase being too powerful. That's why it might not be good. We don't want to diminish the actual sentiment of the BTP. However, I agree it's probably something to at least consider.

I personally fell something about taxation will connect better with everyone. However, no Taxation for global occupation to me doesn't ring as well as it's inspiration. I feel this is on the right track but maybe we can do better.

I like that.

I have the PERFECT song to accompany that slogan. It's Freestyle's "The Party Has Just Begun"... you can hear it by going to this website:

http://www.knoxvillepartybus.com - the mp3 loads with the home page.

---and, yes, it's one of the sites that I designed but I'm not trying to push that, just the song. The song streams from the home page but, if you don't want to visit the site, you can hear the song here:

"no taxation for global occupation"

This is a major platform position of Dr. Paul. It goes beyond Iraq and Afghanistan to encompass all 130 world wide bases.

What about making the pledge amount $130.00 to tie things in nicely? Based on Nov. 5th people will donate as much as they can anyway and 130 might give the media a point to ponder.

I agree with JenHarris. I think that type of phrasing isn't good. It doesn't work well. I really like the way micahnelson is heading. The one I like the best is "Something is brewing in America." It alludes to the event. It's not overly ambitious. It will get your attention. And it's smart with the play on words.

However, on the other hand, it kinda doesn't work within the context. The Boston Tea Party...nothing was brewing. We we're getting rid of the tea, not brewing it. How about "Nothing is brewing in America anymore." No just kidding.

its just a pun.

You know how the news introduces stories... like, lets say a dog interrupted a political rally... "Coming up next, one constituent is barking up the wrong tree"

or if there is some sort of eastern european reunion in your town they would say "Well it looks like the Chechen's have come home to roost" ....

i hate those things, and i hate that i can think of them, lol.

Eyewitness account of the Boston Tea Party:

To the first application of this committee, the Governor told them he would give them a definite answer by five o'clock in the afternoon. At the hour appointed, the committee again repaired to the Governor's house, and on inquiry found he had gone to his country seat at Milton, a distance of about six miles. When the committee returned and informed the meeting of the absence of the Governor, there was a confused murmur among the members, and the meeting was immediately dissolved, many of them crying out, "Let every man do his duty, and be true to his country"; and there was a general huzza for Griffin's wharf.
http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/revolution/teaparty.htm


The original American patriots were those individuals brave enough to resist with force the oppressive power of King George. I accept the definition of patriotism as that effort to resist oppressive state power. The true patriot is motivated by a sense of responsibility, and out of self interest -- for himself, his family, and the future of his country -- to resist government abuse of power. He rejects the notion that patriotism means obedience to the state.
-Ron Paul

The historical context of the actual slogan would be really powerful, and would get some play in the media, I suspect. Plus: its just awesome.
