BBV Activists: Brainstorming Thread #2 (images/memes/slogans)

[nostamj]

that first thread was getting very big and had lots of graphics so, I'm gonna open another.

it's just a free-association thing to discover/develop effective themes, images, slogans, etc. for BBV. here's the original thread and there's LOTS of great ideas there already.

ORIGINAL THREAD

one of the issues I'm moving on to is how to plant the Voter Verified Paper Ballot concept.

it doesn't really roll off the tongue. so, my idea is to put VVPB out there with the tag.... "do you know what this means?"

a few ideas follow. haven't had time to work on any graphic versions yet. selling VVPB is key, after the baseline concept is understood.

Some people don’t want you to know what VVPB means....
Find out why. Here: www.blackboxvoting.com

ASK ME
WHY I
DEMAND
VVPB

GOT VVPB?
Your VOTE May Depend On It!

If you don’t know what
VVPB means...
ASK ME!

1. BIG FAVOR:

For those who e-mailed me the gray-scale graphics in TIFF files -- the ISP who shut down BlackBoxVoting.com today overstepped even more, what else is new, and shut down our email. I had not downloaded the graphics, and I need them for the book by Sunday morning.

For this weekend only (because I'll shut this down after this weekend) could you email them again, to [e-mail]?

For any who are willing to invest that extra time, I really appreciate it!

But then, maybe that's not so bad: WPB = W-Pay-Back

16. Personally, I saw this on someone's sig line today and I LOVE It!

:hi:

[nostamj]

19. this is GOOD for people who already 'get' it....

but, i think you'd agree, too vague for the 'baseline' campaign.

and I DO think there's room for effective ideas across the spectrum of potential audiences.

It's Your VOTE!
VERIFY It!

[lysergik]

20. or,

YOUR life

[BevHarris]

21. Love the accountant one! It resonates witih me

Of course, I won't even trust an accountant who tries to make the books sound compicated. Obfuscation is NOT a sign of precision.

[BattyDem]

22. That's a good one!

Everyone will understand the problem immediately. :-)

[abcdan]

23. slogan

Demand truth in the booth.

[nostamj]

24. truth, truth, in the booth!

truth, truth, in the booth!

oh dear! brought out the disco duck in me there... ;-)

[phoebe]

25. also need a HAVA message of some kind

Help America Vote Act? How About Voter Accountability?

How About Voter Accountability? Vote NO on Help America Vote Act

HAVA Vote? Not without a paper ballot

Do you HAVA? VVPB is a MUST

Do you HAVA? Vote responsibly with VVPB

HAVA Vote?

The HAVA and the have nots - ask me about VVPB

it's late folks..

[BevHarris]

34. Hah hah hah -- made me slosh my coffee

truth, truth in the booth!

Disco - disco - duck.

[kayell]

26. bump for the morning people

[girlphoenix]

27. How about just a big block of binary

And the words VERIFY THIS! underneath?

Or binary on one side, and names with yes/no beside them on the other. You could use historical names, Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington, etc...so no claims of bias. Then under the list of names 'Oh, so THAT'S who I voted for!'

the girl :hi:

[tlcandie]

28. LOL I thought of one late last night, but it promotes fear ..

Since the BBV guys will say that the voter verifies by reading the screen...


What's on the screen
Is not a ballot
And may not show who got your vote
Make sure you check a real ballot-
