This is all IMO;

While your link is good, it's simply too overwhelming for the average person. If we want to fight TPP, you need to break these key points down into simple, almost meme like, posts that can be easily cross-shared on social media (I'd make some, but I suck at this stuff).

Example: If I link your above URL via facebook, maybe 10 people will click on it. Of those, maybe 1(?) will read it all. The rest will simply "Nope" out of the site. The result is sad -- people won't read enough. In turn, they won't get angry enough and thus they won't fight TPP.

Therefore, maybe making a meme (or 2 or 3..) for Each section?

Another example: The gamers section. Make a meme saying something like: "Do this? (show someone modding a game) Go to Jail. Thanks, TPP."

Or, show some ppl working on their cars, modifying them. Then show them in jail saying, "Thanks, TPP."

Show someone getting an award for creating strong encryption. Then show them in jail. Again, "Thanks, TPP."

Each meme can still link back to your site.

TL:DR - Your facts are awesome. Yet, you need to break this down into simple easy to share memes, comics, ... something...

The existing format will only overwhelm most people.

Honestly, considering the many examples of how broadly written TPP is and thus the (potentially severe) repercussions TPP would force on the individual?

If I had any tallet making memes, I would and I would spam the hell out of social media with them.

Memes offer a unique way to fight things like TPP. Your meme can target smaller subsets and show them how things they take for granted now, will get them in trouble if TPP is allowed to go into law.

I love modifying cars and motorcycles. A meme that shows our "engine management" (Cobb, Power Commander, etc.) is enough to land you in Jail?

I don't think people understand how a simple speeding ticket can become a jail sentence for modifying your vehicle's software.

This is just One example. :(

And to those that think this is such a severe example and nobody would ever actually abuse TPP like that? I'm sorry, but LOL.

Do I really need to remind you of how corrupt our elected officials are, let alone how many issues have come to light within law enforcement?

When are you guys coming back to Luke AFB?

I missed your squad's display years ago and I've been kicking myself since!

Yes, but we have LOTS and LOTS of rattlers that are all over the place. The only Silo I know of requires you to enter through the escape hatch. Once inside, you typically find 20+ snakes just chilling, but ready to bite.

I too, would love to follow in your footsteps. I have no idea where to begin looking for property. Any pointers? How did you find it, etc?
