Daily Paul: Ron Paul Confirmed To Run In 2012? [MOD NOTE: Not yet]

So this is confirmed to be a rumor? :P

Naw, all this hubbub aside, I think Ron has to run. There are just too many reasons to do it... so I think preparing is an excellent idea. :)
 
well you better hope he doesn't pick Palin!

Actually, that would be considered 'coalition building', and probably isn't the worst idea. It might even end the MSM mistreatment of Candidate Paul--tptb will simply let him be elected as they make plans to Kennedy his ass.

This is ridiculous. It's just a rumor. People are getting fed up with things and want some positivity. He didn't announce anything. Might as well say there's a billionaire out there ready to help out too. :)

look around , Ron Paul 2012 , no need to confirm it is already on, has been for months!! I promise you;) Liberty Candidates 2010, Ron Paul 2012, the writing is on the walls;) your just not looking hard enough:) this isn't rocket science:)
 
I think we should change the "money bomb" terminology to reflect a more modern saying. How about, "Money Blast"?

I'm not saying Ron isn't running in '12, I'm 99% sure he is, but there has been no announcement and it's all just a rumor right now.

Don't Trust Her

I don't either, and I'm not advocating that anyone should. But, you know, for centuries the vice president has been the least-noticed and least important person in Washington. In fact, the first exception to that rule was Dick Cheney--and look how well that worked out. So, why not a figurehead?

Ron basically said the following at 3:05 into the above video:
"[an announcement] will not be this year.....[whether or not I'll do it] will depend on what I perceive as [the level] of support.... I need to know if the support is really out there"


AJ (or DP) was incorrect however that anyone specified January would be the announcement time. Also there is no "inside official" as AJ/DP claims either.

Get ready because once we get Rand into the Senate by a large margin, 2012 will be just around the corner!
 
Oh and what Ron just essentially said in case anyone didn't catch it is that the grassroots needs to get their act in gear before he'll announce. That means it's in our hands so get to work doing this!
 
FUNDRAISING IS KEY

Ron Paul's fundraising growth was exponential in 2007-2008. Lets start the exponential growth 10 months earlier for 2011-2012.

One of the reasons Paul got as much media attention that he got in 2007-2008 (especially later in 2007) was his ability to harness our grassroots financial support - support that is reported and is one of few things the media covering the election has to cover. Lets make Ron the frontrunner financially EARLY and he WILL NOT be ignored.


Timeline of events:

January 2011 Ron Paul forms exploratory committee

Q1 2011 starts Jan 1 - March 31 2011, and is reported on April 15.

This is analgous to Q1 2007 where Ron raised $639k:
Republicans $53,204,874
Mitt Romney $20,737,149
Rudy Giuliani $14,731,897
John McCain $12,992,655
Tom Tancredo $1,311,533
Ron Paul $639,889
Mike Huckabee $544,880
Duncan Hunter $499,874
Tommy Thompson $315,036

OUR Goal starting THE DAY HE ANNOUNCES FORMING AN EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE should be to raise at least $10 million dollars by March 2011. (Q1)


Q2 2011 - Our goal should be $20 million to keep him in frontrunner status:

Results from Q2 2007
Republicans $49,673,752
Rudy Giuliani $17,267,287
Mitt Romney $13,793,151
John McCain $11,187,821
Ron Paul $2,357,423
Tom Tancredo $1,465,776
Duncan Hunter $803,383
Mike Huckabee $763,618
Tommy Thompson $458,967

Q3 2011 - The ball shall continue to roll, and the freedom movement shall envelope this country.

Here's Q3 2007:
Republicans $47,464,436
Fred Thompso$12,717,993
Rudy Giuliani $11,253,552
Mitt Romney $9,533,269
John McCain $5,466,904
Ron Paul $5,204,218
Mike Huckabee $1,031,679
Tom Tancredo $747,539
Duncan Hunter $486,337
Tommy Thompson $195,725
Alan Keyes $21,218


Ron Paul got most of his fundraising in Q4 2007 - when it mattered the least fundraising-wise - the numbers aren't published until mid-January, when the early primaries are already over and the game is up and he's been called a "long-shot" too many times to remember. Lets change the MSM's adjective of choice from "long-shot" to "moneybags" and "wildly popular."

Most of Ron Paul's $34 million came at the end, in November and December of 2007, when it was too late to do as much good as EARLIER.

Imagine if Ron, instead of raising $25 million in November and December and January had gotten it 8-10 months earlier! We'd have at least double the support we have now, Paul would be even more of a household name - the freedom movement would have been in a stronger position - who knows what would have happened!?


The government (Federal Election Commission) dictates individuals can give a maximum of $2400 per person ($4800 per married couple).

A few suggestions:
START SAVING NOW.
1. I'm maxing out and encouraging my friends to do the same. In a fight there are times to save onto your ammo and times to fire with all you've got - Jan 2011 lets fire the shot heard around the world.

2. Join your local tea party and tell them Ron Paul started the modern tea party movement. Lets earn their hearts and minds.

3. I posit that a money bomb should be planned for some time in Jan, Feb., or March 2011 to put our campaign in a competitive position and gain financial-frontrunner status.

4. Meetup groups

http://ronpaulgraphs.com/[url]http://ronpaulgraphs.com/[/URL] - note all the major money bombs occurred 10 months before they MUST this time around. This is necessary, but not sufficient, to win.

For math geeks, lets shift the curve to the left.
