Promote his book. 60+'ers are readers. Books are viral.

Has anyone seen the newsmax article about Ron Paul? In it they mentioned that it was Goldwater's presidential run which birthed Reagan's chance at governor 2 years later.

Great post! I needed it!

The Constitution

The Constitution has little relevance to the government, but still it's interesting to note that the crazed John McCain was born, to his state-connected parents, in the Panama Canal Zone. The Zone, the product of US imperialism under the crazed Teddy Roosevelt, was never officially US territory. That is, McCain was born in a foreign country, and therefore not eligible to be president, according to the Constitution.

Kick every sheeple in the ass until they wake up. Some will take forever to wake up. A few will never wake up. That's ok. We just need a majority.

Actually, Ron's percentages are remaining steady in states where he did NOT campaign, i.e. from about 3%-7%. In the states where he campaigned, he's running about 15% which isn't bad. Personally, I'm pleased as we're not out of this contest. If any candidate is likely to drop out of the GOP race soon, it'll likely be Romney. Currently, Ron is in 3rd place in North Dakota!

UziSprayTF- GREAT post! My dad kept reassuring me- saying how Reagan didnt get elected for a few times after running. This has changed history as we know it. Next time will be VERY different, thats what I kept telling my husband.

How can I sign up?

Just keep spreading the truth.

Whatever happens with Republican primary, there are still ten month before the real elections. Almost anyone who hears the undistorted Ron Paul message comes to our side. That makes the strategy for the victory in November, by whatever path, clear. The advancing economic collapse, as anticipated and explained by Dr. Paul, his solution and his vision for the America the way it was meant to be, will make even more ears listen to his words.

The intensity of the well orchestrated ruthless resistance from the establisment and their mass media is a clue of how much they fear the truth he speaks. They did all they could to silence us and make us go away, but we are not quitting. There were eleven, then five, then four and tomorrow there will be two or three and we will be there.

In the months ahead, as the words of Dr Paul spread, we will be getting stronger, while the establisment liars "explaining" the ongoing economic collapse and their more-of-the-same "solutions" will sound ever more ridiculous.

Time is on our side. Times are on our side.

Thank You MrAustin, you provided me with the right words of enlightenment in a moment in which my mind was allowing me to believe it was darkest.

Thank you!

Once I have found someone that I can plan with I will formally organize this. I will make sure send you a PM.

I won't forget!

It is sad the minority of america believes in the constitution and freedom, but we are that minority. 100s of thousands of people believe and we must convert more. I will not give up the fight to one day see habeus corpus restored and our civil liberties no longer under threat. Remember 2008 as the start of a rEVOLution that cannot be stopped. Ron Paul has sparked a movement with the message of our forefathers that was long forgotten. We must carry the torch he has lit into the 2008 elections and beyond.

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.

I absolutely agree! We're not done with the presidential election yet of course, but when that is finished, we need a short break, and then we need to get working on 2012. I really believe we could have one over more people had we had more time. A lot of our best ideas and programs (like the precinct leader thing) just got started.

We need to realize that we are in this for life. After this election we need to settle into whatever pace is comfortable enough for us to keep striving for the liberty movement every day from this day forth.

And as an idea for an alternative to the MSM I think as many of us as possible should start local newspapers to distribute that teach constitutional principles and report on local/state/national elections from a more balanced perspective even if it starts small and you have to print them from your inkjet printer.
