Someone earlier posted a similar idea, that had more detail. I figured I would post it here. If you endorse this plan, then bump copy and paste in other threads. People need to consider the macro scale instead of the micro (moneybombs/strawpolls/youtube videos). I am not saying that the short term is not important, just that I see too many people wasting time with posting useless information instead of signing up as a precinct leader or sign waving. We need to focus on the next 4 years just as much as the next 4 months.
- Determine a list of other Congressmen to support and donate to (there is more than one way to take over a country)
- Create a national fund starting now. 50,000 people donating just $20 per month for the next 40 months with a 5% APR compounded, would generate $126 million for Ron or whoever he endorses for the next election. Let's see the media try to silence him then.
- Parlay this support into a larger grass roots effort. We weren't able to get precinct leaders in every precinct in the country, but what could we do in 4 years?
- Begin informing the general public. Bring these issues to the people nationally even if we have to talk to millions of people individually over the next 4 years. 50,000 people talking to just 2 different people per day for 1200 days would reach 120 million people (and maybe more as some of those people would then talk to others). We are talking about a third of the country. We aren't going to convert everybody and that's ok. But I think most of us feel that there is a lot more support for this movement out there, if people were informed and even knew that Ron Paul existed and what he stood for. There are still tons of people who say "Ron Paul who?" or if they have heard of him, there is no way they could tell you what he stands for. We need to circumvent the media. That is hard to do in a couple months but in 4 years, it is VERY possible. Plus, as our economy gets even worse and inflation continues to skyrocket, I think people are going to be really interested in WHY this has happened. Most don't know how the FED works or how our overspending has destroyed our economy.
