Thread: Another Kentucky Fight Vid

  1. #1

    Default Another Kentucky Fight Vid

    Like other commentators here, I've been frustrated with the slow number of pledges for KentuckyFight.

    It seems to me that one of the major drivers of success for Ron Paul's moneybombs in '07 were YouTube videos. They resonate with people and "sell" them on the need to get involved in a measurable way.

    So here's another one! Enjoy:

    I went with very American and very "roots" music to emphasize Rand's commitment to the American values of limited government, individual liberty, and constitutionalism, as well as his grassroots appeal and support.

    It has a raw and real feel because Rand's campaign and his supporters are "raw and real" and not the polished Washington establishment types. The song also has "grit" and passion like the patriots who are rising up in this era of American politics.

    The lyrics say "If I had my own way I'd tear the whole building down" which is what needs to be done. The whole Washington establishment with its moneyed corporate interests- the "building" if you will- needs to be torn down.

    I don't know if that changes your opinion a little or not, but hopefully it gives you an idea of what I was thinking.

    Plus- I think it's good music

    Thanks GRASSROOTS ROCK!!!
    Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.

    What others do pales beside what YOU do.

    Press on! - The r3VOLution continues...

    "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

    Very cool.
    The more laws and order are made prominent,
    The more thieves and robbers there will be.
    ~Lao-tzu

    "Do not believe anything because it is said by an authority, or if it is said to come from angels, or from Gods, or from an inspired source. Believe it only if you have explored it in your own heart and mind and body and found it to be true."~ Buddha
