Quote by: Osborn F Enready "If you can read this, thank a Teacher, but if you can speak freely about it, thank a Libertarian." "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. It's a lifestyle, not a slogan." "Respect, you have to give it, if you hope to have it." "If you want a nanny-state, please visit your local prison, and check in until the condition passes." "157 years of Bi-Partisan Scham is enough, vote third party, rediscover your conscience." "If you expect your opinion to matter, you had better help me ensure that mine does too." The ones above are mine. The ones below are quotes I feel deserve a Bumper Sticker, and ones I would buy. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” -John F. Kennedy, 1962 “America is at that awkward stage; it's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.” -Claire Wolfe, 1995-Nov “A ship in a harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” -William Shedd “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” -Thomas Jefferson “Reason obeys itself; and ignorance does whatever is dictated to it.” -Thomas Paine, Rights of Man ("Conclusion") “If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom, and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.” -W. Somerset Maugham “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” -Ben Franklin “To say that any people are not fit for freedom, is to make poverty their choice, and to say they had rather be loaded with taxes than not.” -Thomas Paine, 1792 “To ignore the evidence, and hope that it cannot be true, is more an evidence of mental illness.” -William Blase “Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men.” -Thomas Henry Huxley (1825 - 1895)

Those are worth nominating for the Oscar of bumper stickers. We need to get those 3rd parties involved in prime time debates and they should get more attention from TV and radio talk shows (where non-funny Q and A is conducted). And they should get more active on internet activities for communication.

A while back the Green Party got on the ballet but at the last moment their larger number of supporters voted Democratic because the two party system conducted an ad "a vote for the Greens is a vote for Bush". They feared that Bush would win if they did not give their Green vote to the Democrats, but as it turned out Bush won anyway with the rigging of the voting system. So the first project is to get people to overcome that fear that a 3rd party vote will support the canadate who is the worse of two evils. Had they voted green last time others would have become aware of that party and that it does in fact exsist, and more would join perhaps once they know that they are in fact, in the running and have an outside chance of winning. Each election they would get more supporters and more votes, it takes time, indurence and patience. This is true of any other 3rd party that can get on the ballet. People should vote for canadates with ideas they like, rather then just voting to get rid of canadates they hate. Otherwise the current trends will continue and we will miss out on all those bright ideas that the alternatives have to offer. Inform people that they have been phycholically brainwashed by the powers of suggestion which the two party system is advertising. A vote for a 3rd party is not wasted, it matters, it puts the concept of a multi-political system on the map.
