Not trying to rain on the idea - just throwing thoughts out there.
That's a very good point - there is a market for this message, and different people have different motivations. You covered every one I can think of. Maybe one slogan wrt the act of slowing down, and a generic web destination covering each of the different angles. Or separate slogans?

My leaning is towards one good slogan at a time. Or a variation on a theme?

E.g. Go(ing?) Slow For...
-the environment
-your children
-your pocketbook
-national security
-self reliance
-for safety

etc.

By selling stickers near cost, you'd get an idea of which themes resonate well with people.
