Olympics: 'One World, One Dream' slogan for China's 2008 Olympics BEIJING : China announced "One World, One Dream" as the official slogan for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, local media reported. Li Changchun, a ranking member of the Communist Party, made the announcement at an elaborate show in Beijing on Sunday, according to the sina.com website. China has spent six months searching for a slogan that would suit the world's most important sports event. In late December the Beijing Organizing Committee (BOCOG) kicked off the search for the slogan, urging people to think up a catchy phrase that would...

RICHMOND, Va. – The inscription "In God We Trust" on the facade of a government building in North Carolina does not violate the U.S. Constitution's guidelines on the separation of church and state, a federal appeals court ruled Friday. A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld a lower judge's dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the slogan written on the Davidson County Government Center in Lexington, N.C. The inscription, in 18-inch block letters, was paid for with donations from individuals and churches in 2002. Lawyers Charles F. Lambeth Jr. and Michael D. Lea, who regularly...

The United States is currently embroiled in a national debate over the Social Security program of the nation. This national debate is being initiated and fueled by President George W. Bush because he aptly thinks that something needs to be changed. President Bush correctly stresses that the Democrat Party has been successful in growing the system into an American version of socialism. Like all prior socialistic programs in the past, it is too top heavy and will soon collapse under its own financial weight. He is traveling all around the nations speaking to anyone that will listen to him that...

T-shirts proclaiming the message "I cant ... I'm Mormon" are apparently too hot for Brigham Young University, as the college newspaper has yanked all advertisements. According to the Deseret Morning News, the paper halted the ad campaign after complaints from students, professors and administrators who felt the slogan implied a desire to engage in "objectionable" behavior. Many thought wearers of the clothing wished they could drink, smoke or have casual sex – but were prevented solely because of their membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Dear xxxxxx, I've tried to stay passive in this campaign, but someone noticed the sign on my door and office - that is about to appear on shirts and bumper stickers (my daughter is making them) - and suggested that I do the following, which my son sent out this morning in my behalf (I'm buried!). The sign? ANYONE BUT KERRY I truly believe it will help the fence-sitters, who without doubt will decide this election. My idea permits them to take a position that is today not really on the table. Those who are uncomfortable with the war or...

You all have to check these out *****Warning****** some are not rated G!! Great slogans to use against Kerry!!!!

GREENSBURG, Pa. (Reuters) - Democratic White House challenger John Kerry mocked President Bush's new "turning the corner" campaign slogan on Saturday and said he offered voters more than "little itsy bitsy" sound bites. On the second day of a 22-state, 43-city tour that will take him and running mate John Edwards from coast to coast by bus, train and boat over the next two weeks, Kerry disputed Bush's contention that "we are turning the corner and we're not turning back" on the U.S. economy. "I think the American people are a heck of a lot smarter than some of these...

We are in the process of planning a new church plant in the eastern Tennesse/western North Carolina area in the near future.Our target group will be young families with children and youth (i.e., teens), as well as the 18 - 35 age group, known as the "emerging church."If you are already familiar with the emerging church generation, then you know that they are basically resistant to the status quo of what has wrongly been called "church" (i.e., heirarchial structure organizations, non-relational, etc.) and instead are looking for real, authentic truth and relationships.What I am asking of you are ideas for...

These are tough times for President Bush and his administration. Reports and pictures of American soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners dominate the news. Worse images are still to come. The fighting in Iraq during recent weeks has been the deadliest so far for U.S. forces. In the minds of many people around the world, both friend and foe, the United States has forfeited the moral high ground. In his Saturday radio address, Bush declared the abuse of prisoners "a stain on our country's honor and reputation." Although the president maintains the atrocities were the work of a few, commanders in the...

PORTLAND - It worked for Nike. The advertising company that invented the phrase ``Just Do It'' for the shoe giant has coined a new tagline to sell Oregon's tourist and business potential in other parts of the country. On Monday Gov. Ted Kulongoski unveiled the new slogan: ``Oregon. We Love Dreamers.'' The slogan - which replaces the old ``things look different here'' catch phrase - was devised by Wieden+Kennedy, the Portland advertising firm that created Nike's most famous slogan. The ``dreamers'' slogan and a series of sample ads, presented at an Oregon business summit Monday in Portland, are designed for...

NEW YORK - Quick: which company has the slogan "The power of dreams?" If you don't know, you're not alone. A survey released this week found that most Americans can't match even the most prominent advertising slogans with their corporate owners. On a list of tag lines for 22 of the nation's most heavily marketed brands, only six were recognized by more than 10 percent of those surveyed, while another six were identified by 1 percent or less, according to the survey by Emergence Inc., a brand consultancy based in Richmond, Va. The relatively new slogans for Circuit City Stores...

What should a political party do to minimize debate on the part of their constituents over real issues and simply pre-program voters to think and act a certain way? Well, first thing, control education at the national level where you can teach kids WHAT to think instead of HOW to think. Secondarily, feed your constituents a series of one-line bumper sticker slogans which sound great but have about as much real meat as your average soy-burger. Can there be any doubt that liberals are the masters of this art? Personally, I have, for a long time now, been very wary...

Put this new slogan in your Rock-The-Vote bowl and smoke it.

I am tired of hearing people say things like "we will never forget" and "let the healing begin", when it comes to 9/11. I propose us Freepers come up with a more significant slogan. My friend suggested "Keep the Anger Alive". I like it.
