This is political and not about Ron Paul but you can make it about him by winning and giving the $1k prize money to the campaign:

The contest is for the best video comparing Nixon and Cheney, and making the case for impeachment. The winner will be determined by a popular vote.

To enter, simply join the Dump Dick Day YouTube group at http://www.youtube.com/group/dumpdick and add your video. Be creative. Be funny. Tell everybody you know to vote for your video. It can be as simple as talking into your webcam for two minutes or it can be a major Hollywood production if you've got the budget. But hurry--the deadline for submissions is high noon on Dump Dick Day.

To vote, watch any or all of the videos at http://www.youtube.com/group/dumpdick and give them a rating of one to five stars. Voting will remain open until noon on August 11. If there's a tie, we'll put up a poll online where you can vote for the finalists.

August 9th (aka Dump Dick Day) is the 33rd anniversary of Richard Nixon’s resignation in the face of impeachment. Of course, Tricky Dick was a rank amateur compared to Darth Cheney and The Decider. They’ve not just repeated his crimes—they’ve redefined the phrase “abuse of power.”

Spineless Democrats try to justify their own inaction by saying that impeachment would divide the nation, take too much time, and ruin their plans to win the 2008 election. Well, the Nixon case disproves that bloviating nonsense. The proper use of impeachment didn’t traumatize our nation, but healed it. When Congress finally stood up to Nixon, he was gone in 3 months. And the Democrats won the biggest victories in recent memory in the elections that followed their decision to uphold the Constitution.
