I'm Taking Charge. Ideas for the New Site

A quick update on the project.

--------------------------------------------

I am planning on using the domain name: thepeopleunite.com

Here is a few rough variations of the logo:

peopleunitelogo2.jpg


peopleunitelogo3.jpg




I will showcase the design for the layout of the website soon. Expect revisions in the logo as colors will most likely be changing among other things as I finish designing the site.

I'm tired and I'm going to get some sleep, feel free to comment on it.
 
Get rid of the "Black Power" fist or you'll lose a ton of over-40 people. That emblem has a lot of negative connotations.

I love the third one...and dude, you have some skillz!
 
I would like our Revolution to become similar to the Dean PAC. I think we can do it without having an "office" or a headquarters, but rather use the existing infrastructure of the GOP. Try to raise funds without the overhead and be able to move quickly. Mirror or shadow the GOP structure and move in quietly. All the while building our War Chest.


I’ve been working on that very thing for a few weeks now. I already started a PAC, registered the domain names, and got hosting for the website, which will be up later this week, next week at the latest. If some of you want to get involved in this project I’m open to exchanging ideas and accepting help. You can contact me at [email protected].
 
Lose the fist!

Agree, lose the fist graphic! It smacks of every far-left socialist Marxist revolutionary movement of the last century.

Yes, we're prosecuting a revolution, but a peaceful one, within the system, and the total antithesis of the collectivist Marxist concept.

Lose the fist, please.

For Liberty!

Mike D.

Edit: The only fist you should use will be holding an upraised torch of Liberty!
 
Agree: Lose the Fist

Lose the Fist

It has negative elements associated with it in the minds of some americans. Either use just the flame and stars or chose something that doesn't have the negative connections. Perhaps something that is linked to the ideas of liberty in the minds of americans. Lighter colors (subconsciously make people happy), bald eagle, american flag, stars, red, white, blue, etc. etc. etc.
 
I have many years doing web development. C# mainly. I've been on a Sharepoint 2007 project for the past year.

Sharepoint 2007 is a platform that allows you to setup content authors to allow them to post articles and such. We can setup a home page and us "Targeted Audience" features to show relevant article and content for the signed in user.

It's expensive though.

I had some similiar thoughts about what to do in the future. We will need a Liberty minded congress as well as a president, so we definately need a broader platform to accomplish that goal. This would mean an organized way to spread information about Liberty candidates as well as a platform for fundraising.

Some ideas...

--I like the map of the US and your ideas for that. If it is possible maybe have each state reflect the actual Counties and Precincts after you click on that state. So I would join and register my address and it puts me on the map in my precinct. I would also state if I am a GOP member. That info would be only visible according to what membership. (see below). If this can be done the site can mirror the actual republican party and also carry on the Precinct Captain idea. Each state could elect a chairman to act as Lieutenants to the national General which we would also elect through the site. A treasurer would also be needed for the War Chest (see below). To accomplish our goals we will have to "infiltrate" the GOP, this could show our progress. A real organizational structure is needed, but a very streamlined one.

--Have a tiered membership, meaning it is free to join and look around, read posts, post ideas etc... Tier 2, for maybe a $25 membership would allow you to see others in your state who are members and vote on ideas posted. You would also get a "Liberty Tree" pin to wear to your local GOP meetings, that way we can ID each other without broadcasting it. Tier 3 would be a big jump to $250 and that would allow you to see the whole map and some extra tools and maybe you get a real gold "Liberty Tree" pin, cheesy but kinda cool. These are just rough ideas about what tier would allow what please brainstorm.

--The membership fee would be for the site upkeep but mainly for creating a War Chest for our Liberty candidates. This would probably require a PAC, i'm not sure how deep you wanted to go with this. If not that far the membership fee I guess could be scrapped. The accounting for the site would need to have a lot of "Sunlight".

--My vision is for a site is to allow the serious grassroots people to really organize and be able to help get Reps elected all over the country. It does not matter anymore about what state they come from we just need a majority in the House to be able to block bogus bills. And then later the Senate to help pass Liberty legislation. The tiered membership would help weed out trolls, only paying members could "rate" an idea. I really would like to have a voting system that did not have to exclude anyone based on money, again just rough ideas here...
The voting system would need to be very secure, we want real votes for the ideas.

--Scenario: At my local GOP meeting I find out there is a Liberty minded person who wants to run for Congress. I get them hooked in with the site and into our system. The members of the site in that district would talk to the cadidate and see if they like them, if so we start organizing and kicking around ideas on the site. The members vote or rate ideas and off we go. The elected national General and state Lieutenants along with input from Precinct captains decide on campaign strategy and fundraising etc...

--If we could get thelibertytree.com that would be great.

Sorry for the long post, more ideas will come.

I am a Precinct Captain by the way!

I like the idea, but this would be almost a party, or a party within a party.

Would it be possible to create the Constitutionalist party of the the Republican Party?
 
lol, that makes you the 7th person i've found to be doing a similar project... Thats why i'm trying to get everyone together as much as possable...

Yeah I was hesitant to bring this up while everyone is focusing on Ron Paul but you started this thread and got the response you did so I jumped in. My idea is more of keeping the movement going regardless of what happens in the Presidential election.

I guess you could say it would be a party within a party, but I don't think forming a "formal" name or party wing would help. It would provide a front for the neo-cons to attack. We need to just integrate and then emerge.

In my post I mentioned about getting a Liberty Tree pin when you joined. This could be worn anytime you are in a social setting and look nice, like a wedding or a GOP meeting, or office banquet. Bear with me, but that would be our symbol or name, Liberty minded individuals, and we "wear it on our sleeve". So a shadow
party yes, but out in the open for those who know where to look.

Another thought about a membership fee if we go for that: Different metals for the pin to signify your donation. Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum. Have them engraved with the members initials and a serial #. This could be a marketing tool to promote donations as well as a sense of belonging.

So when you go to your GOP meetings you don't feel so alone, and eventually we become the majority. Sorry to go on about the pin, that is not my focus, but it would be pretty neat way to say I am part of the Revolution without acting a fool and alienating those existing party members who we need to reprogram, err.. convert.

We do need to move beyond this election and we need to start now, not giving up on Ron, but advancing the movement he has started. We can't be waiving signs at the polls and expect people to vote for our guy. It is a process and it cannot be done in the eleventh hour. It's January and their are house seats available in November, and again in two years, when are senate elections? 4 years from now the Presidency, it never stops and that is not a lot of time, let us begin.
