I have decided that GOPrising.com will be the site on which my viral voter registration software resides - beta here - edited to: http://goprising.com/ft/campaigns/newGOP/

Part of the content will be a Q/A or something related to:

http://www.gop.com/About/AboutRead.aspx?AboutType=3&Section=19 - Republican Principles

I'm a Republican Because...

1. I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.

2. I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.

3. I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.

4. I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.

5. I BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is that which governs least.

6. I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.

7. I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.

8. I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.

9. FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

The point being to show point-by-point quotes, positions, issues, etc that prove that Ron Paul is a Republican. And indeed adheres to the core principles more than other candidates do.

Goal for this thread: have a good discussion about this, get specific ideas/quotes/positions/etc , and produce a format for a Ron Paul Republican principles page on the site.

Your dedication to getting this going is great. I think this could really be a success. A key will be sprucing up the graphics side of things - the backend could be amazing but, as you well know im sure to joe web user it's all about the user experience.

what specifically can I do to help with your project? I'd like to help test it etc. if you need the assistance :)

Ok... maybe a dumb question but the "loot" is that how much we have donated?

Funny, I agree with all those bullet points, yet I'm being told nowadays that I'm not a real Republican... and yet Rudy Giuliani is. :rolleyes:

the "loot" thing is a beta default field from the software. Ignore it. It will be gone after I do other stuff. I won't be using this software to do anything with donations.

Final beta is up on the permanent server. Please test. Please please. I do not want to launch this blindly. Database will be purged before launch.

I will get mockup content of the 5 or 6 other site pages by tomorrow morning. It will be ugly - but I believe that with the talent here we can change that.

Here are the pages. Can someone html ize them so that it become easier to see how they look? Also, I'm hoping that you graphics/design folks can look at this and the beta software (see sig below) and come up with a look and feel. Everyone who contributes WILL be recognized and linked to on the AboutGOPrising page.

I know!!! Don't you love getting called a liberal for advocating the same foreign policy Republicans ran on 7 years ago?
