DP ACTIVISM: State Registration Slow Scroll Atop Front Page

I've been thinking about how DPers and visiting RPers can have easy access to states' republican registration deadlines to vote for Ron. I'd argue including open states, states whose party registration is indiscriminate to voting, would be a good idea.

My thought is to have a translucent graphic, say, five loosely connected squares with abbreviations inside them slowly scrolling left to right inside the DP masthead, under the masthead or near masthead to grab attention. (My preference is top or bottom left corner inside of masthead.) It would be a slow rotation, you can say. The state names displayed would be upcoming states.

The middle square would come forward a little, be enlarged and clearly visible while the two squares "touching" its sides would appear in the background, slightly smaller, a little blurred AND mostly discernable. The two outer squares, 1 and 5, wouldn't be readable, however.

CRUDE ILLUSTRATION: [indiscernable] [mostly discernable] [clear, discernable] [mostly discernable] [indiscernable]

The interval between rotation could be five seconds. Clicking any square would open the page for the deadlines but go to the state whose square the viewer clicked.

Usually I'm against motion graphics because they're geared to ephemera and flattery rather than comprehension and substance. Motion graphics are distractions, but in this case, in Ron's campaign and assuming they'd be done nicely, I think they'll help us RPers.

Maybe another graphic can be made for delegate information: how to be a delegate, what to do when you're a delegate and the significance of a delegate.

Hey,

I created videos on how to become a delegate and what websites you can go to find more information:

I am working on creating deadline videos telling people when are the due dates for registering to vote, deadline for signatures, and more. The thing is I am in twitter,facebook, dailypaul, ronpaulcountry, ronpaulsocialmedia, youtube. I can do it myself but I am spending 20 hrs a day working on these projects. No and I am not getting paid. Here is a 20 year old activist doing this just for Ron Paul and for Liberty. :D GOOOO Ron Paul.

Sounds like RonPaulCountry.com

Sounds like your talking about a website that already exists: http://ronpaulcountry.com/launch

Perhaps you could suggest that the DP embed their real time primary countdown widget.

yes but without motion graphics

Otherwise i agree that it's very important for people to know the primary rules and deadlines for their state, since a lot of potential RP supporters are registered independent or libertarian or democrat.

Also good: a way to get democrats who still love Obama to register republican and vote for Ron Paul just to throw a monkey wrench into the GOP nomination process. Let them think RP has no chance of beating Obama until it's too late [Insert evil laugh here].

Thanks, Tom

Thanks for the comment, Tom. I like your wrench idea [laugh inserted]. lol *moves hands around each other circularly* LOL!
