Another source has come out saying Ron Paul tinkering with 3rd party run.

[sailingaway]

I've been listening to the call. Everything seems legit to me and I like the guy. Some people are jumping the gun and calling him a Johnson supporter trying to get Paul as the VP. This doesn't seem to be true to me based on what I've heard so far. He's stated that he's not an expert on how the Libertarian Party would handle the transition, whether both people would have to step down or only one. He said the best thing to do is lobby Ron Paul's office and the Libertarian Party to show them support for this potential ticket and that if anything comes out of it, they could sort out the details themselves.

I think WE need to show we aren't indifferent to the order, that Ron in the presidential debates is the POINT of the exercise.

Paul/Johnson if this happens we can have Black THIS Out Part 2 October 19th, the one year anniversary right before the election. Have Ron make a 15 minute live speech on major networks like Ross Perot. I can speculate and dream some more.

I believe October 19th would be too late to be effective. As much as I'd love to do Black This Out 2.0, I believe it needs to be done by the end of September in order to make the biggest impact. I've emailed several of the money bomb organizers that worked with me during the primary season to discuss this, but haven't received a response yet from anyone. Orenbus, you were one of those that I emailed. Did you receive it?

Vice President Paul? It's not worthy of him, yet we need him. I'm feeling very ambivalent at the moment.

Can someone post the link to the petition? Is there a website that has all the important links and info, I don't see it on the Alaskans for Ron Paul page.

Evan said he would post it on the event page after the call.

edit: there will be another conference call on thurs.

A small step down for Gary Johnson, a giant leap for the Libertarian Party.

We can still call it Black THIS Out 2.0. The theme is still oh so relevant nearly a year later. End of September.

I think THEY would sort it out with GJ as Pres or that being the offer and Ron not accepting and I think WE need to show we aren't indifferent to the order, that Ron in the presidential debates is the POINT of the exercise.

Yes, if Ron isn't in the debates, there is no point to this in my opinion.

We will soon have a Ruling that may offer a Re-vote with all delegates voting their conscience. That would be devastating to Romney

@tweetAmiracle Dr Paul knows he has a standing VP offer from GJ

One small step for Gary Johnson, one giant leap for liberty!

I think we are all in agreement on this.

I kind of agree with what SA is saying for me to make it worth doing certain things like volunteering would almost require that RP be top of the ticket. For me the main goal (although of course winning would be nice) would be to get him in the presidential debate so that he can have an impact on millions like he did on me back in 2007 in the SC Fox debate when he gave me that aha! moment with Rudy Guilliani that made me decide right there I was a Ron Paul supporter.

It only makes sense if Ron Paul is Pres and Gary VP. That would also give some cover for R candidates that support Paul since Ron will talk sense in the midst of nonsense in the debates.

Would definitely add some viability and major funding to the party. Not to mention the added side benefit of watching the neocons squirm.

Sure, I just meant that we couldn't do it on Oct 19th. I am ready for Black This Out 2 and think it was our most exciting theme of the campaign. See my avatar!

Good possibility GJ could embarrass the movement in a debate, huh?

but we don't want VP, that wouldn't be worth it. I can see what GJ would get out of it, but Ron wouldn't get anything out of it, nor would we, that I can see. Whereas the other way GJ would get higher name recognition with a run on a higher level of fundraising, though as VP might get in VP debates where as he otherwise WON'T realistically get in ANY etc. Ron being on as Pres raises GJ too, and he is young enough to run another time.

Yea I wanted to wait to hear this conference call tonight before responding.
