10 Reasons to remain optimistic!

[MrAustin]

1. There are 1000's of people all over the country who are rising up and fighting for their liberty and their rights. 1000's of people are "awake" now (me being one of them).

2. We are motivated by PRINCIPLE - not outcome. (In contrast to the "he's not electable" mentality.)

3. The momentum will not stop and that number of Paulites WILL keep growing.

4. We (the people) control the new media (for the time being...), and the old media is dying.

5. Factal events are constantly vindicating Ron Paul's platform. (i.e. the stock market's "minor" setbacks.) This should be very encouraging in a way.

6. The majority of "sheeple" are future Ron Paul Revolutionaries. They just don't know it yet. Look at the voter trunout and the congressional and presidential approval ratings! They just need someone to give them the proper diagnosis of the problem.

7. We invented the money bomb, launched the first presidential blimp, SHATTERED fundraising records, outlasted 7 other candidates so far, and we are THE largest grassroots campaign EVER. (And all of this despite the uphill battle against the establishmet.)

8. All we have to do is EDUCATE the United States. Sounds huge, but it is definitely easier than DECEIVING the United States.

9. Muscles grow from resistance - so does the Ron Paul Revolution!

10. I am living proof that the "sheeple" can be reached.

I am not giving up. If Ron Paul can fight for 30 + years so can I. So can all of us.

YOU WOKE ME UP AND I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THAT!!!!! PLEASE PEOPLE KEEP GOING! LET THE PRINCIPLE OF FREEDOM MOTIVATE YOU AND KEEP YOU MOTIVATED. DON'T LET RESULTS EFFECT YOUR ACTIONS ONE BIT!

Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPlPT4bncq8 and remember what's important! The principle!

Nice post MrAustin.

That Ron Paul video you included at the end of your post was terrific.

Long Live The Revolution!

We need to brainstorm new ways to get the message out.
We've used up the net, the old media is trash.. what else can we do?
We are the brightest of the bright.

I can feel a new broadcasting method brewing....

 

[Tidald]

Absolutely excellent post~

 

[kirkblitz]

if we are taking delegates but not winning the presidential poll in the caucases then that can be 11.

 

[Bladestunner316]

Amen!!!!

I think the campaign needs to reform itself in order to put out a 3rd party run. We need to hammer people everywhere with slim jims.

We need those who endorse Ron Paul to publicly speek for him at events.

We need to organize those Ron Paul republicans who are running for office to hold rallys/speeking event son the constitution and freedom.

Ron Paul needs to publicly challenge to debate the so called "front runners" of the dem on foreign policy and on the rep side economics. More than likely this will be Hillary-Mccain.

The campaign needs to keep pushing the precint leader program.

Have those who endorse Ron Paul to publicly support a money bomb.

Also buy some ad time for his new book release to spread the word!!

Plan a massive rally to attract media attention!!! (like packing out safeco-my dream)

Just some of my thoughts!!

 

[molly_pitcher]

I found three new supporters this week. We don't start getting busy here until March. It doesn't stop, no matter what the results!!!!!!

 

[Bladestunner316]

Also I want to add a Press Conference on why Hillary care will not work and also on Foreign policy and why Mccains 100 year war will kill this nation.

Also pick a well known VP!!

If Ron Paul doesn't win the republican nomination, and doesn't run third party then this country is doomed. Its time to think about going to school in Britain...

WE MUST DO SOMETHING. WE MUST HELP DR PAUL WIN!

 

[ralucelom]

bravo, pauls message is quite the eye opener and many others may follow in stride.

We should not overlook the local news, radio and small town newspapers.

We need to focus on 2010 and even more so 2012.

We need to organize precinct leaders for 2012 NOW. Every precinct will be hit ON DAY 1! That way, when the media has its first set of polls they will say,

"oh look who is leading! It's [insert liberty candidate here]! The little known [insert political position here]! The GOP sure is changing!"

We will need literally thousands of ORGANIZERS.

We need a voluntary pyramid of command for communication.

We need to have the contact information of the local newspapers ready.

We need to have very very well designed Slim Jims and TV Commercials.

We need to have tons of money saved up.

Each member must have $2300 saved for the first quarter. The media will not be able to ignore a $20 Million dollar first quarter. You want to talk money bombs? imagine a 15 Million dollar money bomb ON THE FIRST WEEK of the liberty candidate running!

Once we have precinct leaders for 99% of the country, by the end of the first month we need to have every single American talked to. Not just the one that answers the door, ask to speak to the husband and the nanny and the chef and the college student.

Lists of favourable responses should be made. Writing down the address of each person that says that they are interested. After contacting them later (give it a week) ask for a monetary donation of $50 dollars from each one, either in the local paper or to the national campaign. If you're in a small town do the former, if you're in a urban area do the latter. For the ones that give a VERY favourable response ask for help canvasing.

Other very, very important things:
- Premade lists of minorities. Muslims, Jewish people, Mormons, Gays, Anti-Abortionists, Anti-Warists, etc...
- Premade documents to target these groups.

If you're in a church start to build a relationship with the pastor/reverend/priest/rabbi/etc NOW. By the time 2011 comes along you should drop by and talk to him. Though church leaders shouldn't endorse from the pulpit they do (and should) talk to deacons and other church elders. All this trickles down to their wives, etc... VERY important.

The MSM have won this battle, maybe even this campaign, but they will not win the war. Live free, live peacefully, and don't give up. We are just getting started. It has been a long fight since the worst president ever (FDR) and we must slowly but surely flip the country to the opposite side. Peace, liberty and independence.

We must start stacking republican organizations to stop the fraud. If it is not Ron Paul next round it will be someone he endorses. We must be ready.

To the ones of you that have been fighting since the beginning. THANK YOU. You are to thank. To have 1 in 20 republicans vote for Ron Paul is no small task. Thank you. You are like the 300 Spartans that held off the Persians. Next time we will all be behind you from the beginning.
