I have an idea.

I got me an idea: (I think this could be good :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-KxLtol9yc&feature=channel

I'm talking this for our libertarian movement:
http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u63/lilpiggy2007/?action=...

Why?

1. It ties into the r3VOLution perfectly.. without being the r3VOLution. Those who have looked into our movement have, and those who haven't by now, aren't going to. We need to separate ourselves from the republicans and now is the time.

2. It can be a powerful message to raise up a "libertarian" party, a true anti-war party and can pull numbers from both sides of the isle.

2. It is obviously about asking questions and waking up.

4. This is the perfect response to the racist slurs thrown at our movement. We are fighting each other instead of the real problems.

5. It draws people in as opposed to scaring them away (the obama/joker picture is viewed by many as offensive so they write us off instead of looking into things).

6. It is attractive to the youth and attractive to the opposition.

7. Let people discover on their own what it means exactly. They will, and we will help educate and answer their questions.

Maybe we get a web-site that just list the questions we want people to ask, this encourages them to seek out answers.

Where is the love?

...it is smart, engaging, and just different enough to be widely accepted!

quiltingsando is an excellent artisan and you have done very well, lynnopoly, to bring together these two forward thinking ideas!

all of lynopoly's 7 items mentioned above.

By tying Ron Paul to the national anthem, and also associating Ron Paul to an obscure symbol (courtesy of quiltingsando), we can mesmerize the populace.

This is only my opinion, I am sure we got talented people here who could refine the image and the publicity.

This message can't lose in my opinion.

Let's gear up for the next battle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at some of the related videos..
johnny rotten of the Sex pistols (the other guest) had obvious admiration for the man. they shook hands at the end of the show..and Johnny pointed to Ron during his performance, calling him Mr. president or something like that.

explanation. The song is widely recognized, and to boot, my guess is that the Black Eyed Peas are from a democratic slant.. this could actually help our numbers and gain us the Ross Perot's and the Ralph Nader's those that would gladly join our libertarian powerhouse provided they actually learned where we are coming from. Now I also think the best way to teach is to lead others to find the truth themselves... this is the power behind the symbol..

You're right, while we question authority, we're the only ones with any solid answers.
Lynopoly, it's not new, but how about a big question mark shape with text inside, such as 'Question Authority" or another fitting short motto.
Another I like is: Whatever the question, Freedom is the answer.

Love it, but I don't think we need to push people into any party, let them decide on their own, but let them know there are some people out there who, 1) care, 2) Who are smart 3) will stand together, 4) will stand up to power, 5) who will welcome EVERYONE, especially those who are asleep

I think a lot of what keeps me from having people come to the DP is the nasty tone from most people when you disagree. Maybe a website with no user comments.

I have a website with a kicka$$ domain name that we can use if you would like, just contact me, it is not being used right now.

I can walk around NYC and do this, I think it's a great idea.

I like it! Agreed 110%

You have brought up a VERY IMPORTANT issue that needs to be discussed. Bravo!

Dear lynnopoly,

Submitted by SirFelix on Mon, 09/21/2009 - 16:24.

I love your idea, but the video and the song, and the question mark doesn't feel right to me. Items 1 through 7 are definitely what we need.

But to deliver on items 1 through 7, I think we need a different symbol or song.

I can't say what symbol or song would be appropriate, but with the way the country is going, I am feeling outrage, anger, frustration, determination, love of true patriots, love of country, respect for the Constitution, disdain for those who betray the Constitution.

Can we think of another symbol/song.

THIS COULD BE A REALLY GREAT THING !

To me, belief in the Left/Right Paradigm is what has crippled this nation by corruption.

second verse

Everytime I read the news
I'm always more confused
They're tellin' me to choose
But there's only lies to choose from
And how many died today
How many lost thier homes or shot a gun
Or a loved one
What happened to our sons

But I know, I know, I know I'm not alone
And I know, I know, I know I'm not alone

How old are you?

Submitted by SirFelix on Mon, 09/21/2009 - 18:04.

The reason why I ask, is that there is a video on YouTube called "The Government Can", hilarious because it is so true. But if you look at the stats, mostly older people aged 35-45 like this video.

We need to invigorate the young people of this nation.

I am 45, probably living in a cave, because I never heard of the song you posted.

But, I found it to be Great!

Is this what the younger generation likes?

If we can ignite the young to action, to fight beside us, we can't lose.

thanks

Submitted by ch4d on Mon, 09/21/2009 - 18:30.

There isn't a genre for the entire young generation. I'm 21 and I can't stand black eyed peas, just not my style. Much better choices to ignite the young around me but it's not going to be just one song..Beside the black eyed peas did a video for Obama if you forgot...

A lot of more popular underground (non-mainstream/lobbied) artists have a much more clear message that doesn't sing about 20" chrome rims and money.

Just one example...

Lies will spawn, hey, are you conscious what side you're on?
Is the total story told or is it they hide you from?
Why are we, on the brink of murderin' more innocent?
Now we slide, we're patriotic and so militant

Get ya ride on, rise on, take a look
They done even takin' righteous laws, rewrote the books
To benefit the prize they got they eyes on
Minds run rampant, to be revealed when the proper time comes
Brain washers

Tryin' man, I'm tryin', lies and lies ain't buyin'
Where do I go, where do I go?
Tryin' yes, I'm strivin', lies and lies ain't buyin'
How does it go?

Brain washers, it's when you think how they wanna think
Speak, how they wanna speak, livin' in defeat
When you don't wanna question what they teach, as the truth
With no proof, with the fear of burnin' in eternal heat

When your programmed not to be your own man, but a sheep
Bein' heard as they word it, so you think it ain't free
When you sleep in a deep sleep, standin' on your feet
When your beat makin' ends meat, raw, thin and they see

Now your labeled obsolete, workin' for relief [Incomprehensible]
In the heat on bare feet, smile, showin' off your teeth
Good grief, it's a [Incomprehensible] how they work it
And they jerk it, while they surf, plus the surf keeps
The [Incomprehensible] underneath the brain washers

I never got on the "government can" train because it just sounded, well I don't know, too showtuney for me.

Glad you enjoyed that one, he's a great artist and made a fantastic movie with the same name as that song, and he travelled to the middle east and met with locals and soldiers.

he does have have some songs that are in question, but for the most part he is a human, and wants us all to "stay human"

The younger generation seems to really like the original poster's song / band, unfortunately they aren't making music like that anymore and we need someone to carry the torch, they make party music now, lacking any meaning or substance.

There are a lot of bands out there, but we need something non-threatening but still geared towards the youth, when I find it I will share. As for now, Franti will do

It meant a lot to me, because, I was young,
