Take a look at our new "I Pledge" video! It was inspired by the nauseating "I Pledge to be a servant to our President" video by Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher that came out around Obama's Inauguration last year. What happened to all the change?
Spread the message, share the video with your friends, and help it go viral!
What is your pledge in 2010?
Update: The video was posted by Mish Shedlock on Mish's Global Economic Trends Analysis! It's certainly making its way around the internet. Keep reposting!
Only one part I don't like: "I will refuse to take public funds for research." Lobbying for more "public spending"=bad but as RP says, if the $ is going to be spend better with people than the government.
Apart from my one whiny complaint tho, this is the coolest thing ever. Wow.
By public funds they meant tax money.
As opposed to "the publics funds"
This was an awesome video; One pledge seemed a bit lengthy, though. I forgot which one. Awesome all the same! :)
"I pledge to buy gold and silver" lol
I pledge to help out any indiviual who wishes to throw off the chains of oppression and kick down any school administration that thinks a free speech zone is good for discussing any vital issue of our day. If anybody wants my help, I will give to any chapter and hope YAL national knows I don't wish to steal their thunder, but I want to get speech zones off of college greens and into people's hearts.
Fantastic!
I pledge to defend our individual liberties, our constitutional republic, and our American values in the voting booth this year and in 2012. Buh-bye BO.
Fantastic video everyone!
A bit more nationalism than I would have expected...
Great video! Is there a transcript we can download?
There should definitely be a downloadable version of this somewhere, that way we can upload to our Facebook and tag our friends in it. This will make it appear on the top of their News Feeds, it will go viral that way!
An oath (from Anglo-Saxon āð, also called plight) is either a promise or a statement of fact calling upon something or someone that the oath maker considers sacred, usually God, as a witness to the binding nature of the promise or the truth of the statement of fact. To swear is to take an oath, to make a solemn vow.
The essence of a divine oath is an invocation of divine agency to be a guarantor of the oath taker's own honesty and integrity in the matter under question. By implication, this invokes divine displeasure if the oath taker fails in their sworn duties. It therefore implies greater care than usual in the act of the performance of one's duty, such as in testimony to the facts of the matter in a court of law.
A person taking an oath indicates this in a number of ways. The most usual is the explicit "I swear," but any statement or promise that includes "with * as my witness" or "so help me *," with '*' being something or someone the oath-taker holds sacred, is an oath. Many people take an oath by holding in their hand or placing over their head a book of scripture or a sacred object, isc cissp, thus indicating the sacred witness through their action: such an oath is called corporal. However, the chief purpose of such an act is for ceremony or solemnity, and the act does not of itself make an oath.
