A Better Web Address for The Twelve Points

From when I first posted the Twelve Points on this blog, last June (when I had only nearly finished writing them), it has bothered me that I could only direct people to the text of the Twelve Points by sending them a long web address (initially, http://guidebookonconservatism.blogspot.com/2009/06/twelve-points.html, but later http://the12points.com/2009/06/twelve-points.html, which was a bit of an improvement).  I have finally found a way to point http://the12points.com/ directly to the text of the Twelve Points without abandoning this blog, so don't be surprised when the change takes place.

Once I make that change, the rest of the pages on this blog site will have a "blog." subdomain added into their web addresses.  For example, the main page of this blog is now simply http://www.the12points.com,/ but it now can also be reached at http://blog.the12points.com/.

This will allow us to more easily show the Twelve Points to others by simply directing them to http://www.the12points.com./

Hey, now that I've brought it up, why don't you go ahead and send http://www.the12points.com/ to people who you think would like the Twelve Points?  I intend to return to the speaking circuit to promote the Twelve Points, this month, so this would be a great time to generate the momentum that the conservative movement will need the Twelve Points to have.

In other words, as I have often written here before, "If you like the Twelve Points, then Spread the Word!"

The Twelve Points are a statement of conservative principles, objectives, philosophy, and additional guiding considerations, composed by Karl Born, a young Indianapolis writer and attorney, beginning in early 2008, completed on July 2, 2009.

The purpose of the Twelve Points is to serve as a delivery mechanism for distilled, concentrated conservative thinking, with the goal of returning clarity and completeness to popular conservatism, and spreading knowledge of the true principles of conservatism throughout the conservative community.

The idea for the Twelve Points, along with much of the content of the document itself, came from the "Seven Points," which was created by a group of conservative college students in 2003 at Indiana University: Grand Old Cause.

Even in light of the 2010 election results, the conservative movement has become confused and aimless. Certain essential conservative principles and considerations have faded from memory and lost their influence. The Twelve Points will help to solve this problem by reminding us of conservative thinking that we may not have considered recently, and by making that thinking available to new, developing conservatives.
