I'm working on this right now!

Which issues are most important?

What order should they go in?

How should the stance be worded in 5 words or less? (Candidate's stance will have green check if in agreement with stance wording, red X if opposed)



And remember... We want as many green checks under Dr Paul as possible, so word appropriately!

*against amnesty for illegal aliens
*will work to abolish the IRS
*will use the military to defend our borders (this is correct, right?:) )
*would let states decide on abortion
*would end the Drug War

OPPOSES PRE-EMPTIVE WAR (sorry for the caps but this is a big one)
Supports the Constitution (might be funny to give most of them a check mark for this)
Has the record to back it up (only RP gets a check here!:D )
Supports habeus corpus in ALL cases
opposes torture of enemy combatants
opposes the Patriot act

Here's what it will look like... Well, this is how far I've gotten...

Tips and suggestions welcome! :D

I'm even being crafty with subliminal messages...

Notice how "On the Record" kinda says "Ron the Record" ;) :D

Good job, but I would put Ron Paul all the way to the left, so people see him first. This would be great to pass out to people or put it in their mailboxes. Also, I would make all the other candidate's Xs and Vs in black, while Ron Paul's Vs are in green to stand out. Good job!

Excellent Idea! I need a copy of it when finished.

I think it'll look better if you just have checks w/o Xs cluttering it up. + it'll make Paul's stance stand out because he'll be the only item on that particular line

Only republican explicitly against "enhanced interrogation techniques" (i.e. torture on enemy combatants)

Habeas Corpus, as others have mentioned.

Mention reducing national budget with reducing taxes, or else people wonder where the money will be coming from

Consistently anti-war

state his position on healthcare (reduce power from HMO's, but also no national healthcare)

Return public education control to local level.

looks good so far. And the concept is awesome! We can make flyers, shirts, and post it to websites!.

My few thoughts, as to the "X" remove the box around it, that will cause it to stand out from the checks. Keep the X red and the Checks green. Hopefully some other candidates will have some green. Possibly phrase a question to have Ron Paul AGAINST it but other candidates for it. Maybe something about taking the Congressional pension.

I look forward to seeing this in a complete form!

Like this maybe?

U.S. opposition to Iraq war hits new high: poll

If you word things correctly then being against it is a good thing.

This is a great resource. I've been jotting down notes all week about points of discussion and arguments for Dr. Paul and all of the candidates. This will help immensely.

"Against federal regulation of abortion"

I'm not sure if that is worded as well as it could be.
