Is it time to DROP the "Revolution" banners?

[mjp1025]

Don't forget that those "old" people were Woodstock children ripe for Revolution!

Love in the banner just screams hippy=/. Sorry. I say put love of life liberty and america or something below it.

 

[liberty_Forever]

Yes, I think more banners to target older demographic is good idea. We can use both types though.

I like "A Doctor for President"

also, perhaps...

"Vote for Liberty"
"Support the US Constitution"
etc

 

[hawks4ronpaul]

"Champion of the Constitution" is more issue-specific than "Hope for America."

Someone liked my "Securing our future." "Securing America" is even shorter.

PS: All the hard workers who already made signs, you are appreciated and should keep using those signs but consider some targeted issue slogans for any additional signs.

Thank you.

Hey bud! I've contributed to social security for 45 years. How much have you put in?

Want to reach the old folks? Here's what I posted in another thread:

I'm sorry to say, the only way to reach the old folks is to scare them. Why do you think they support McCain? Because he told them the boogey man was coming to this country to kill them.

So, what's the one thing they are more afraid of then that? Their financial security! Their life's savings is wrapped up in stocks, cd's and government bonds. They LIVE off of their savings. They don't realise the threat that exists to their financial security. When they do, they will listen. You have no idea how frightening the loss of their nest egg is to them. It's huge. Their biggest fear is that they will outlive their savings. So go for it. Put some fear in them. Just don't preach to them. Talk with them, not to them.

This could be a good approach, but needs to be explained carefully. Maybe we need a "Scary" Slim Jim. or DVD.

Only about 10-20% of the population have a higher than average IQ and thus a sense of curiosity. Those are us. The ones that got into this from the beginning.

So yes, it is the opinion of many that the "Ron Paul Revolution" should be use less and use more of the regular mainstream presidential slogans.

You might want to check-in to a basic statics class. EXACTLY 50% of the population have an IQ higher than average. (median to be more exact)

Oh, not to try to scare you, but did you know that 50% of doctors graduated below average?

Here's what I've collected so far:

"An Honest President: Vote Ron Paul !",
"A Doctor for President, Ron Paul !",
"50 years of marriage, Ron Paul"
"Never voted for an earmark, Ron Paul !"
"Never lied, never will, Ron Paul"
"No Amnesty: Vote Ron Paul !"
"Stop Government Theft, Ron Paul !"
"Save Social Security, Ron Paul !"
"Securing our future, Ron Paul !"
"Ron Paul - Saving America"
"Ron Paul - Rock Steady"
"Dr. Paul - Protecting Freedom"
"Vote for Liberty, Vote Ron Paul"
"Support the US Constitution, Ron Paul"
"Champion of the Constitution, Ron Paul"


Please discuss them at your meetups and add more if you can. I'll set up a poll.

I thought the rEVOLution theme was a mistake from the beginning. So, yes, please lose it.

I'm adding "Defend Our Constitution" to the top of my yard sign.

I think it needs an issue added so it will spark someone's interest in RP.

 

[ronpaulfan]

I think you're being far too dismissive of the effect this slogan may be having on the older demographic.

+1

Keep it for YouTube but don't wave it in front of granny

The revolution banners work, it is silly to drop them.

We do need more effort being put forth towards getting the older generation's vote. Because most voters (at least over 50%) are retired people.

a Save Social Security message could swing that vote if the message can get out there.

Unfortunately retired people aren't getting information online but from the MSM. So traditional campaigning is the only way to reach them.

 

[jabrownie]

"Save Social Security, Vote Ron Paul !"

Like this one the best for targeting the older voters.

Agree that it would be helpful to use more slogan signs like some of the ones listed above, rather than the basic name/revolution ones used thus far. They were great and helpful for getting things started in Phase I, but now it's time to move to Phase II and expand our demographic support.

The revolution banners are good, just some of the fringer's and truther's don't understand that it is a reform revolution... I call them the tinfoil helmet brigades.

 

[AisA1787]

I've never liked the revolution logo. I think it's a distraction from the message because once people see "Revolution" they ask themselves what kind of revolution it is... and then when you say "limited government, lower taxes, less wasteful spending" it doesn't really seem like a revolution, it just seems like more politics and lies...

I vote for an "Honest Ron" logo

The revolution banners work, it is silly to drop them.

I hate to sound overly critical, but how in the world could you know that "the revolution banners work"?

NO !!

It will stay as long as this runs. *
It may get more added, but nothing subtracted.
*It has survived Hurricanes and UP winters.

We need soliders, not old people.

Another little piece of me died when I read this.
