Pauloween October 30, 2007

Turn the country into a civil rights graveyard this Pauloween!

The concept here is to use the Halloween holiday to remind people of
the rights we have lost and the direction the country is going – then
point them in the direction to fix this: Putting Ron Paul in the oval
office.

The yard sign of the month is a homemade, cardboard tombstone listing
born-died dates for articles of the Constitution/BoR and other lost
freedoms along with epitaphs of what un-constitutional legislation
killed each. Ie: Patriot Act, Military commission act, executive
orders, etc. and a note like: to resurrect Google Ron Paul or just
RonPaul2008.com.

Place these in your yard, or use a loop of duct tape to adhere them to
the sides of buildings, etc.

2 variations – the first is just a sheet of cardboard, spray painted
gray with white letters. You can get day-glow/luminescent paint that
will show up better from craft stores or via the net. Use scrap
cardboard and either wood or coat hangers and duct tape to make folded
areas flat and to make them stand up. Cardboard can be gotten from
grocery/department stores, etc. Go in and ask them for boxes and to
save boxes for you. If you go into a 24 hour grocery store in the
early hours of the morning you will beat the compressor – they do
compress them to save space, but most places will save them for you if
you ask.

The second variation takes a little more work, and is slightly more
expensive – but still cheap. Get a bunch of beer or can flats and put
them together forming a closed box. Cut out your letters with an
exacto knife and then take orange tissue paper (craft store) and glue
it over the letters you cut out. Use a glue stick to insert (glue)
things like the inside of an "e" to the paper. Cover the tissue with
vinyl or plastic sheet to protect it. Now connect a few LED's to a 9v
battery to provide back lighting. Optional – line the back with
aluminum foil for better light distribution. When you are done, it
should look like a jack-o-lantern – kinda... eerie glowing letters
that fit into the holiday and will be paid attention to.

Either type can be temporarily waterproofed by spraying with armor-all
(for cars).

Make at least half a dozen and populate your yard....

OK – now I need your help! Please speak up and help compile a list
of: born-died dates for civil rights and what killed them. Other
ideas for the dead are welcome – like Liberty Ann Freedom, etc.
