Convert local and state politicians.

They are who become federal politicians.

Here's what I have so far, but I'd like to make it more pithy. I still have no idea what Image I want behind the text.

Advocacy of government action is advocacy of the taxation (robbery), kidnapping (imprisonment) and ultimately killing (murder) of those who oppose it. I resent those who wish to rob, kidnap, or murderer me and their supporters. The path to a peaceful, and prosperous society is voluntary, not coercive.

Near the end of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9Kclr98hhf8 (33 mins in) Stefan Molyneux speaks of political solutions being futile, that the answer is making it personal, pointing out the gun in the room they are pointing at you when someone advocates statism.

I think this could make a powerful facebook campaign, that could reach a lot of people, pointing out that you recognise and resent it when people support government using force against anyone they disagree with, and that those supporters are themselves responsible. I figured I'd post the idea here since I haven't yet come up with ideas for the text or image(s).

Basically the goal of the idea is making statism a publically recognised immorality in basically the same way as racism is recognised as such.

Anyone have any ideas on this or any images that you've seen spring to mind?

I am editing Taxation as theft on Wikipedia. Input welcome (and probably needed). It was a scant 2 lines before I restored some old content and edited out controversial bits that would be taken down. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_as_theft

Here is some stuff we can do

How about transcriptions? The Mises literature library has a great list of items to choose from, most of which are not in copyright. One book in particular that I'm reading is titled "Fabian Freeway". http://mises.org/document/4621 Large portions of this are readable to the human eye, but are not searchable because the file has problems. What I mean by 'problems', is that whoever owned the original book which was copied and put into PDF wrote in it; they underlined large portions of it for unknown reasons. PDF viewing software does not know how to discern between human written pen marks and the actual text of the book.

The transcription is done, the whole book should be searchable now. I have the text file uploaded within my profile so that people can access it.

Also, every transcription needs readers of all stripes, from people who will simply download the file, verify that it loads correctly and paragraphs flow correctly across various platforms - this might only take a minute of anybody's time; to people who devote large amounts of their time comparing texts to make sure that a transcript is correct.

It will be easier to outwardly educate people if information is not just available, but available with greater ease and accessibility.

Has anyone mentioned charity yet? Food drives, free clinics, free schools, etc. Dish up a sermon with that soup.

There are many useful posts in this thread, but it is now too large to be able to sift through all of them. People don't know if something they posted has already been discussed and to what extent. It would be useful to compile all these ideas into a single online pamphlet, and periodically produce new updated versions to reflect the viability of the different ideas.
