[DinahWest]

My fav. Michelle Branch song:

 

[J_White]

helped her out by some FB comments !

Nice!!! I just liked Kelly's facebook page, followed her and Branch, and tweeted Kelly. Let's hope this onslaught dies down soon and we kind people can get her ear!

Yes, thats a good idea since I'm sure after the hell they caught they are having second thoughts about voicing support for Ron Paul. The next two days we all need to give them reassurance so they know people are supporting them. Be extra nice.

the smears are our greatest gift. Just think of that lone trooper giving speeches to an empty congress years ago, and now knowing that after Iowa he will be able to bring his real views to literally hundreds of millions of people in defense of his humble character. the country is in for a real wake up call once he is put on the spot on the debate stage...60 seconds of pure bad ass unfiltered truth. I hope he calls out Obama on the War on Drugs, would be a monster sound bite, questioning the prez and the racist policies he is standing by...winning is the only goal, but knowing RP is going to be standing on a soapbox bigger than even he ever dreamed of with the chance to put out his views on racism is amazing. bring it on, i can't wait.

I like this idea.

I also like the idea of her and Michelle Branch having a concert at an Iowa college the night before the caucus!!! I really wish the campaign or RevPac would be in contact with them!!!!!!!!

Anything like this. The night before. House of Bricks is lined up later today thurs 5-9. With bands.

5 venues in Des Moines Iowa, roughly from smallest to largest that might be available. College - not in session.

House of Bricks (Ron Paul concert there later today)
Vaudeville Mews
Peoples
Val Air Ballroom
Wells Fargo Arena

They could be paid a personal appearance fee, just to have them around Iowa. We have video of John Popper making a Ron Paul Phone Call from New Hampshire.

We could just pay Kelly Clarkson (and/or Michelle Branch, in all cases) to do stuff like that. Kelly Clarkson could go door to door. We video that and hit the youtube with that video. Wow, say some people, that is great, Kelly Clarkson is walking around Iowa doing a lit drop. Maybe offering someone a ride to the polls. That might create a level of interest in Iowa at exactly the right moment.

What can we do to support Kelly? Can we push any of her albums or songs by buying the shit out of them? She deserves it.

1) hold on to your money
2) try to see if we can collectively come up with enough money to get Kelly and/or Michelle to do something we want.

Absolutely be nice to them, no matter how this works out. Other people (agents, managers, lawyers, executives) will have a lot of say in what happens next.

Oh yea, Michelle Branch netted about 150 followers in the last hour or so. Not bad, tomorrow ill see if there is a song by her that i like, and i will pay for a download. I like a different type of music but i sure she has some decent acoustic stuff. Either way, She seems pretty hot.

Maybe a "chip in" for Clarkson, Branch. To do something tbd

 

[parocks]

She'll be on the first SNL of 2012 on January 7th, days before the New Hampshire primary. The campaign should definitely reach out to try to get her to wear something or share kind words to a large audience.

"My Life Would Suck Without You" would be a fitting song when dissenting Republicans are brought back into the fold after Paul wins the nomination.

Wow, really, SNL? That's a big find there. We should be coming up with money right now.

 

[parocks]

Yes! We just locked down the teenybopper vote!

If they have big hits from a few years ago, and young teenagers liked them then, they're 18 now.

Guys Clarkson has a large following aging in their 20's through 40's. This could bring in real voters(mothers, career women, etc. She is not big in teeny bopper circle as some have speculated.

As one person pointed out, theres some gays that follow these singers aswell. So, their fans aren't just teens.

 

[TheeJoeGlass]

People are wasting money by supporting Kelly Clarkson simply for liking Ron Paul. Give that money to the campaign. Kelly Clarkson is likely to change her mind once the right pressure is applied.

 

[parocks]

Yep. It's a powerful word. And nobody ever called Ron Paul a racist outright in the press... they simply insinuated, and now he's suddenly become the Grand Wizard of the GOP.

But you know none of his accusers actually care if he's racist or not. They don't like his political positions, so they try to smear his reputation and character instead of deal with the issues.

Instead of assuming that the racist smears have hurt Ron Paul, you might want to notice our Iowa Poll Numbers, which are good. This is a 4 year old story. Nothing new at all. And people get that. So, the backlash is instantaneous. No reason to assume that our numbers would be higher without this. More people than not see this as the msm they hate unfairly attacking someone.

I'm betting there is some sort of retraction in the near future. The amount of pressure put on her will be immense.

Hope she is strong enough to see through the BS.

Their fans are unlikely to be teens. Since U Been Gone is likely Kelly's biggest hit.



Michelle Branch Game of Love w/ Santana. Won a Grammy in 2002. So, Michelle Branchs fans are likely eligible to vote.

Kelly Clarkson Since U Been Gone from the album Breakaway which was 6x Platinum. This song won a Grammy in 2005.

Oh, I don't think so. She probably can look at the numbers and see that she's getting more fans rather than losing them. The numbers and the passion are with us.

Agreed. But by neocons I hope you mean social cons who have been blinded by the neocon agenda.

real "neocons" are rare. Republicans who accept the neocon foreign policy are less rare. But if the next Republican President, whoever it is, just said after being elected "I'm a realist", there wouldn't be much of a Republican revolt. People won't be complaining if drones aren't bombing countries they can't find on a map for reasons they can't fully explain.

I agree. The pressure will be Game 7 like, but Kelly has a bit of a reputation for giving the finger to the establishment. If she can make it past this initial wave, I think we've got a real supporter!
