New site! RonPaulStances.com

www.ronpaulstances.com

Just finished up making my new website for Ron Paul. It has a collection of the videos on youtube for his stances along with the stances themselves.

Please let me know what you think of the site!

Also, if you want to promote it, "Where do YOU stand?" is what I was thinking when I came up with the idea.

Great job; and very practical.

[drexhex]

Thanks! Everyone I've given it to likes it, so I figured I'd put it on here =)

lovely. nice job!

[drexhex]

Awesome, glad you guys like it. I need some help, though, finding his view on certain things (and adding more!)

I'm looking for the following:
Animal Rights
Capitalism
Child Labor
Consumer Culture
Homelessness (what he wants to do about it)
Literacy and Language Issues (English as official language?)
Media
Welfare

Also, if you find any videos that are better than the ones I have on there, please let me know. This was a one-man job so far, so give it time to improve =)

Thanks,
Eric (DrexHex)

This is awesome, exactly what I was looking for! Having video clips of Ron Paul speaking on the issues is MUCH MORE powerful than seeing it in writing.

Just a note. The movie you have under abortion also explains stem cell research.

Homeschooling

Perhaps you could also include links to his writings at http://www.ronpaullibrary.org

What a terrific site! I'll be adding it to my forum signature.

I have Homeschooling under Educational Reform. I'll make it Homeschooling/Educational Reform.

Thanks for the stem cell research thing too.

Excellent idea, I'll get started on that once I update the database as I said in the above post.

hey drexhex, I really like your site!

I have one suggestion and that would be to add links to newsletters and speeches to congress gives by RP at www.ronpaullibrary.org underneath your videos to more indepth information on his stances. That site is truly amazing and his speeches and newsletters are greate for the average citizen.

Well done!

Thanks, and someone already suggested that above (and I answered too=P)

I'll get around to it on Sunday (show tonight - Stephen Lynch, going home tomorrow and then coming back on Sunday).

Great job and it's a good start.

For the videos, I would try out autoplaying the videos and see how that goes. You can do that by adding this:

&autoplay=1

at the end of the youtube link. Example:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wIivoqLbeeg&autoplay=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wIivoqLbeeg&autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

Testing now.

EDIT:
It works. Thanks!

loved the site. i love how ron paul can explain every issue so well, and never dodges the questions like the other candidates.

if you're looking for suggestions, i have a few:

what's great about the site is that it's so simple, so i like how there's just 1 video to watch. but maybe you could have a button underneath that said "more videos", which opens up a page that's identical except has a long list of youtube videos about the topic. because with this, most people's biggest issue is the iraq war, and they'll want to hear him speak on that, and will only hear a short clip, whereas other topics have longer videos on issues that are more likely to divide.

and the other suggestion is that the list of stances starts at abortion. i would say that i always considered myself pro-choice... but after hearing ron paul explain the issue, i accept his position that state's should decide, certainly shouldn't fund abortion, and that 3rd trimester abortions should be a crime (except if necessary for health concerns for the mother of course)... but again, states making the decisions is best for everyone.

but with this issue, aborition, people feel very strongly one way or the other. most people will never change that opinion. even if most people listen to what ron paul thinks, they will probably never change their mind, since everyone thinks you must either be one or the other... left or right... pro-life or pro-choice etc. so i don't think it's good to have the first topic as abortion, since it's such a split issue, where it will alienate the pro-choice people.

since i believe his campaign is centered on his position on the immediate withdrawal from iraq, would you be able to make that the default selected choice when you visit the website, then when you click the list of issues, they are still presented in alphabetical order, and you can scroll up to get to the other issues.

but ya, i love the site. it's a great idea.

I'm not sure if I like your idea or not. I see what you mean, but speaking on a purely user interface perspective, I think scrolling down through items and starting in the "A's" is the most user-friendly. Other than that, I would.

Thanks for your opinion and advice, though. It is greatly appreciated.

Bump for great justice

Awesome work out the site OP. Easy to use feature allowing you to hear Ron's policies from the man himself.
