Conservative / 9/12 Pledge Video: Let’s Do it in DC!

Eight Months ago, right after the insipid “Pledge Video” came out,  I tried to rally people to to make a counter pledge video. This was way before the 9/12 project got started and even the Tea Party’s.

We all got involved in the post-Santelli Rant Tea Party momentum, and the Pledge Video got somewhat lost in the mix.

Now that the “Hollywood pledge” video has resurfaced, I am renewing the call to do a counter one, but we do it in DC.

I will be going to the 9/12 March in Washington, as I am sure many people here will be. I will not be arriving in DC until 9/10, so we couldn’t shoot it until 9/11. I understand that we all will probably will want to remain solemn, but I think that 9/11 would be a perfect day to do the pledge video, using the scenery of DC – OUR CAPITOL – to do a counter one.

Now – in addition to enforcing many conservative/founding  principles – I also think it should be a little fun… one line I have in mind is:

“I pledge to help control bovine overpopulation by eating meat on a daily basis.”

If you are interested, please email me at: pledgevideo@912dcmarchsa.info 

Even if you can’t join in the video, if you just want to submit a “counter pledge”, thats good too. (Mark sure you give me your name so I can give you proper credit. Here are some of the ones I came with several months ago:

pledge I will teach a man to fish rather than give him one.

I pledge to be the voice for the 50 million unborn children murdered by abortion.

 I pledge to continue to be the American I have always been.

 I pledge to never give just a finger, but a hand to my fellow man.

 I pledge to bring awareness to mental disease, such as liberalism.

 I pledge to continue using plastic.

I pledge to laugh at celebrities who say they still go to the grocery store.

 I pledge to keep driving my SUV, because what I drive shouldn’t be determined by government.

 I pledge to keep believing God has control over this planet, not man.

 I pledge to buy enough products to use 500 trees this year to stimulate the economy

 I pledge to run a business to make more green, not to be green.

 I pledge to have my lights on as long as I want them to be, because it’s no one’s business how I run my home.

 I pledge that I will continue to drive 5 miles over the speed limit, and pay the ticket if I am pulled over.

 I pledge to make sure that real art is taught, and not art made of elephant dung.

 I pledge service to my country, and not to just one man.

 I pledge to make sure that it’s a government controlled by people, and not the other way around.

I pledge to continue to support members of the military AND the mission that they are doing. [This was noticeably absent from the liberal video]

There are several more, but these were just off the top of my head as I was watching that insipid creation those idiots made.

    I’m annoyed and angry about the video just like everyone else, but I think that some of these counter-pledges are also counter-productive. I think that some of these have factors and consequences beyond those that are listed here and we need to take those into consideration before making them public statements. It seems like some of them are retaliations out of spite instead of logic, and right now I think it’s important to pick our battles and if we want to “give a hand to our fellow man” as we say, then we need to support what’s really going to make a difference. I’m honestly not trying to pick a fight, I’d just like to know the reasoning behind them.

    For example, I don’t understand the pledge saying “I pledge to continue using plastic.” Despite the stupidity of that hollywood video, choosing something other than plastic is truly better for our health, so maybe it would be a good idea to sidestep opposing the messages that do make sense.
