Confirming Call to Action: This is Not a Drill

[cujothekitten]

Posting this one more time...

Here's my take on this regardless of my "mod" status. I’m not speaking for the forum owners and I’m not representing the forum in any way with this post.

With that said, I'm perfectly ok with starting a total 100% boycott of FOX news and any other media outlet we may be angry with. This is regardless of what happens with Ron Paul speaking at this forum. The media has gone far enough and it's time to move on to new media outlets.

We have a louder voice than anyone knows and following these steps can bring about a successful boycott as long as we keep it non-political. The goal is to bring, as many people in on the boycott so don't mention Ron Paul, just simply state information about this boycott.

Treat this as if it were a money bomb. We have the numbers to make it popular and that's what we need to do. Just do what we do and it will take off.

1. Create youtube videos etc promoting the boycott
2. E-Mail all meetups about the boycott
3. Bloggers write about the boycott
4. Create a simple website stating info about the boycott and allow users to sign up for updates... just like any money bomb website.

The grassroots will start it and others will join in because they hate fox.

Isn't it kind of sick that this country would pay hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of tax payer money to hit a restraunt in BAGHDAD with missles to try to take out their former ally dictator???

What a threat to our LIBERTY huh?? But U.S. "news" networks get to unilaterally mold the fragile egg-like minds of the masses!!!

Time to PULL THE PLUG. Lay out the real THREAT to our future security and liberty as the DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE states.

I have a dream...500,000 people gather outside of Fox News HQ in New York on Jan 5th to hold a Ron Paul rally. Faux ignores us, but when CNN, MSNBC and the networks show up, we chant, "BIAS! BIAS! BIAS!" and they consider the images too rich to not give full prime time coverage...

Sorry, that may not be the best solution, but MAN would I love to do that!

Thank you cujothekitten for that post, it was well worded and we should all take heed. Please be vigilant, peaceful, lawful, and fervent everyone. This outrage is like the temperature being raised while we begin to boil in the pot; we must not let the media take our voices from us.

This does remind me of the accounts of the "SONS OF LIBERTY"...they were more than a little pissed about the British attempt to "SQUASH" American freedoms with the tea situation and removing the tax for the East India Company

"Bostonians suspected the removal of the Tea Tax was simply another attempt by the British parliament to squash American freedom. Samuel Adams, wealthy smugglers, and others who had profited from the smuggled tea called for agents and consignees of the East India Company tea to abandon their positions; consignees who hesitated were terrorized through attacks on their warehouses and even their homes"

I got to hand it to our forefathers, they really did know how to throw a revolution and didn't take any sh*t from WRONG DOING!!!

That was when men were men.

For anyone else interested in a boycott understand that this is how the free market is supposed to work. Fox news puts out a product and we are no longer happy with their product. We simply need sufficient numbers to effect change.

If you feel this is to daunting a task then you may need to rethink your support for the free market. If we can make Ron Paul popular in the face of so much negativity then taking down FOX should be a piece of cake.

Stop watching them
Tell other people to stop watching them
Stick to your convictions

We can do this

I think we should try to use this anger in people to fuel and organize a bigger 31st march.

DO NOT CONTACT THE NH GOP. They are reportedly trying to help us out on this, but our calls have already taken their phones offline so they can't do anything. THIS IS NOT USEFUL. Fox is the current problem, not the NH GOP.

More details coming as they are released to us...

The NH GOP is certainly the problem. It is either the Republican party, or the Fox News Channel Party. I'd like to know who is controlling the party for real.

Can a boycott work in such a short time period? I mean if the point is to get Ron Paul into this forum it needs to have effect in essentially 1 week.

Also of added importance to this issue I feel is the selected format of the event. A round table forum sounds like it will give opportunity for back and forth discussion of issues. I for one definately will watch, and I think many others will. This could be a really important event upon which the performance of the participants will be used to decide the minds of many voters. Perhaps more so than the classic debate format used to this point.

 

[polomertz]

Sponsors too. List?

Can a boycott work in such a short time period?

No, you can't take down a mega media outlet in a week, which is why we should still have the protest or whatever everyone decides to do in the coming week. This is a permanent solution for a problem that will continue to be ongoing. The debate isn't going to make him get fair press from any outlet so start a boycott now or this will continue forever.

I mean if the point is to get Ron Paul into this forum it needs to have effect in essentially 1 week.

The best way to get him into the forum is to call the outlets and demand his attendance. We do what we did in Iowa but harder... though more polite.

 

[jillian]

do you all know about www.ronpaulmarch.com ? scheduled for new year's eve. i think we should channel this event to correspond with the exclusion.

Screw that. WE should be urging the campaign staff to make arrangements for Ron Paul to be on CNN ot MSNBC for a live interview with Ron Paul during the debate.

Who do you think would get the higher ratings? Hurt Fox. Bonus to Ron Paul.

Let's put capitalism to work for us. He'd get more air time speaking like this than he would in the debate. (two crap questions total).

If this could be done, then when Fox comes calling to invite RP, the campaign can tell them that Dr Paul has prior arrangements that are more important. SORRY.

If there is an alternate event it needs to be there and it needs to be big. Make your plans now, sell your dog if you have to...

 

[jillian]

Why? Who?

Is someone going to suggest Ron Paul is not invited due to a miracle theory?

Our response should be viral, costly to FOX, and peacefully out of control!

i agree. it just seems like we are panicking. everyone wants to do something. we just need some ideas and leadership. march at the studios peacefully out of control. the march has been getting little attention from supporters. maybe now more will get involved.

We do what we did in Iowa but harder... though more polite.

BTW that is exactly what i mean by "how we got here"


And as if we needed more inspiration

Why does Fox run the Republican party?

I'm not disagreeing with Jeremy but can't the party tell fox to go jump in a lake? Someone else will pick it up. Why is corporate sponsorship happening here? If this is a Republican party debate then they can invite whoever they want.?

Look. Fox News is doing a new year's eve live broadcast in NYC. I wonder what it would look like if 2000 ron paul supporters showed up with Ron Paul signs, quietly enjoying the festivities.

 

[free.alive]

Airplanes with Ron Paul banners fly above, circling the venue holding the debate. Ron Paul supporters surround the arena holding a continuous banner that reads, "Ron Paul R3voLution." Proof that chants took down the walls of Jericho is provided when the walls of the auditorium start to shake to the percussive, thumping demands coming from outside: "Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold!..."

Many of the people who want others to cool down are the ones that have been here from the start. Everyone is entitled to what they think is the correct approach. It's not about being afraid of action. It's just wanting to do what's best for the campaign.

There IS something to be said for being level headed and methodical when doing something and not acting on pure emotion. This stinks of a setup and I think some of us (including myself) think we should be very careful not to shoot ourselves in the foot. As of now FOX is getting what they want IMO....us distracted.

Sending out emails, phoning, etc are fine; however, to me protesting at local Fox stations is a little overboard. "In Real Life" time could be better spent knocking on doors, etc. This should be addressed for sure, but we SHOULD NOT go all in on this. That's what Fox wants.

2nd!!!

i personally thought we need the info confirmed...now that it is 100%...it's time to do what we do best....in masses!! e/m bombs...fax bombs...whatever u want to call it!!!!!!!!

the sad thing is --it divides the energy--that in itself is a huge tactic if ya think about it! ;(
