Comments on: Let’s Do a “Taxation is Theft” Campaign [FMP Op] http://georgedonnelly.com/agorism/taxation-is-theft-campaign Supplying your Soul with Sovereignty Since '06 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:45:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Patrick http://georgedonnelly.com/agorism/taxation-is-theft-campaign/comment-page-1/#comment-9677 Patrick Sat, 02 Jan 2010 20:49:09 +0000 http://georgedonnelly.com/?p=2151#comment-9677 Ah, that's a good point. If it's very decentralized (like the Ron Paul campaign was), then people can just do as they see fit (ie. what type of image they want to use, what type of medium...sticker vs. poster for ex, etc). That sounds good to me! Ah, that’s a good point.

So that's definitely a good tactic. I like Matt’s work so far: http://freesand.com/misc/taxation_is3.jpg

Do you know what image you want to use? Also, myself, I'd prefer to put up stickers in my city, than hand out paper to people. For that, I guess we'll need a place where we can get these stickers cheaply from. I'm not sure where yet...CafePress and Zazzle seem to just sell 'bumper stickers' which are fairly expensive. OK ic.

I have to put up a website, then we can produce some paper to hand out and build on it from there. Any ideas on how to proceed? Nothing new yet.

I must say, a global campaign against taxation (and I guess by corollary the rest of the State) sounds great! So George, what’s the latest on this?

But that's much more complicated than a gun. :) I don’t know, I was wondering if there was some way to use the idea of a pickpocket or something though.

Any suggestions? Apologies for not putting up the website yet. I have no excuse. But I will do it. :) Ok but I think there needs to be some logo for the effort. Any suggestions?

I like making the moral argument and talking about the gun is certainly not new. (The first time I heard it was years ago when I read Harry Browne's book.) I prefer messages that let each individual create their own imagery that makes sense in reference to their own life. Adding imagery doesn't let one do that and you risk contaminating the message as a result. It seems to me that the three words themselves are powerful enough without adding the gun imagery.

I'll put together some high res versions of the logo in various formations and color options. If you can you send me the thesis theme files I can get started adapting it to the color scheme and logo.

Can you get me the them files and I'll work to get the basics up? I can write very well, so I'll have to leave that to other. However, I can proofread and provide input. Sounds good.

I think after the logo, and then the website is up, we need to write stuff for the site (best to keep it simple with a declaration and a blog?). Then we can look into what other media to produce? For example, paper, video, ads, etc. What do you guys think? Also, we should probably make our goal, vision, strategy and tactics explicit in there before spending much money.
