Still wondering about mountvernonstatement.com

I still want to know why http://mountvernonstatement.com/ leads to a white screen with (what appears to be) a joke in red text.  No one has responded to my e-mail.  It's all still a mystery.

Fewer than 24 hours remain before the Mount Vernon Statement will be released.  People are starting to talk about it, now, and many of them are skeptical.  Where I had the opportunity to do so, I explained (as always) why I believe we do need a statement of conservative principles, but since I have not seen the text (and considering that Richard Viguerie was not impressed), yet, I can't speak in favor of the Mount Vernon Statement itself.  If the Mount Vernon Statement were to turn out to be too vague and toothless, the Twelve Points will be ready for use as a definitive statement of conservative principles.

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.
