anyone want to be ballsy and post their RP speech?

[PledgeForPaul]

any ron paul precinct captains want to record your practice speech and post it for constructive criticism? I work until 5pm and can't.

I posted this elsewhere, but I would be interested in hearing any comments:

Given that the people we are trying to reach in the caucuses are Republicans (else they wouldn't be going to the caucus) but undecided (because we might be able to convince them to vote for Ron Paul, I decided to tailor the speech I'm going to give at the caucuses to that group:

"I grew up in a Republican household. Both my mother and father were and are registered Republicans, and what they told me growing up was that Republicans were the good guys, because unlike the Democrats, they understood the idea of America and why people chose to immigrate here. The Republicans understood that America was the nation of limited government and that people came here because they could keep what they earned and live their lives however they wanted. Republicans understood that America was the land of the free where citizens were supposed to be treated as adults capable of making their own decisions.

What I've seen since I've been an adult, however, is a very different Republican party. This is a party that hasn't kept the government small, that is daily intruding into my life, and is running up debts that all of us will spend the rest of our lives paying off. I, and a lot of other people turned away from the Republicans because they appear to have forgotten that American is the land of limited government, the land where the highest goal government can achieve is to guarantee its peoples' freedom.

Tonight we have a rare opportunity to reclaim the mantle of freedom for the Republican party because for the first time in more than 40 years we have a candidate running who is honestly, truly committed to making freedom the highest priority of our government. The man I am speaking about is Dr. Ron Paul.

In our volunteer group for Dr. Paul we have a doctor who immigrated to Iowa from India and just received his citizenship in October. He was extremely excited about the opportunity to participate in the Iowa caucuses because it was his first election as an American. So, he carefully researched all the candidates in both parties, and after studying them carefully, he said the only one who really understood what America was all about was Ron Paul. It was only Ron Paul who understood that America is supposed to have a limited government, that it is supposed to collect taxes only for the limited purpose of funding those few activities that we the citizens have given the government to do, that it is supposed to allow its citizens to live their lives as they see fit, that the government's chief purpose is to keep us free.

Republicans have a bad reputation right now precisely because they have become the party of intrusive and expensive government. This election tonight is a rare opportunity that most people in other parts of the country never have, to restore the Republican party as the party of limited government, low taxes, no deficits, and freedom, and that is why so many of us are so deeply committed to Dr. Paul and are voting for him tonight."

That is poetry dude, pure poetry.

Awesome dude, I love it! Congratulations, I'm sure you'll convert at least a couple people with that.

here is what i am going with, i stole a lot of it from people on these forums (sorry if i didn't give credit :o ). i feel comfortable with this. i have it on my mp3 player so i can keep memorizing it.

I would like to say a few words on behalf of Dr. Ron Paul.
Ron Paul is a Christian. He’s a veteran. He’s a pro-life doctor who has delivered over 4,000 babies. In 10 terms as a U.S. Congressman, he’s never voted for a tax increase or an unbalanced budget or anything Unconstitutional. He has actively worked to eliminate the I.R.S. and put an end the personal income tax.

Our national debt is now over $9 trillion and as our government keeps borrowing and printing more money, the value of our dollar keeps going down, making everything more expensive. Dr. Paul will save us trillions of dollars by bringing our troops stationed all over the world, home to defend our southern border.
Everyone likes to say “I support the troops”. But who do the troops support? According to our government, the most donations from active members of the armed forces are going to…Ron Paul – and by a huge margin, nearly 50%.

Sometimes people come in to the Caucus and they think “I’m going to vote for this guy because I don’t want that guy to win”. But this isn’t a horse race. There’s no prize for you if we vote for the one who ends up winning tonight. In fact, our first-in-the-nation role here in Iowa isn’t to select the ultimate winner. Our role is to narrow the field, and tell the rest of the nation what Values we think they should be paying attention to.

We have a unique opportunity here tonight to tell the rest of America that we no longer want Big-government Republicans; instead we want to return to the era of true conservative values like Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and Ron Paul.

Some people think Ron Paul may be too conservative to win in America, remember this. Ronald Reagan won in two landslides, but never hid from his conservatism.
Please join me in honoring our Troops wishes and voting for Dr. Ron Paul.

Great.. i hope all the speeches around IOWA are able to capture last minute voters... no reason anyone should be undecided.. this is the last chance to get voters and you need to make sure to give many reasons to vote for paul.. mention that ALL THE OTHER candidates have major flaws... gun control, abortion, taxes.. the message of ron paul has no flaws...

use up the entire allowed time.. dress well and speak clearly.... mention that alot of other candidates talk about change and hope... but ron paul is the only candidate that is not part of the status quo that mccain, romney, hillary, obama.. try to hide from

that sounds fantastic jeremycobert!

 

[RoyalShock]

I appreciate anyone who would be willing to offer their speeches.

I have a feeling I may end up delivering an RP speech in a Kansas caucus and would love to see how many of you approached yours.

 

[RoyalTenenbaum]

Two great speeches! I think one of the most effective facts to bring up is Paul's support from servicemen and women. It undercuts the major GOP problem with him. Opposing Paul because you support the troops seems silly if the troops support Paul.

Thanks for all of your efforts!

Here's my Ron Paul victory speech, "I told you so."

 

[maeqFREEDOMfree]

great work guys! speak it from the heart like i'm sure we all do.. people can spot a fake and that's why RP support grows

 

[LFOD]

Great stuff. I wish I could be there to see this all happen. This caucus stuff makes primary voting seem so impersonal.
