Emergency Email From The Granny Warriors

[OptionsTrader]

Donated earlier, but did so again to get the chipin ball rolling with 100 bucks.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Its a visibility thing.

I wish i could do more but im tapped out.

It was nice of you. Thanks.

So you are comparing a $1 bumper sticker with $3,000 transmission.


BTW, if you buy a bumper sticker from Dr Paul, that will show up as a campaign contribution. His Q3 numbers will benefit.

If this was truly a good idea (and it isn't), Ron Paul should be operating the RV, and we could donate to him to keep it running. The Granny Warrior could still be involved manning the RV. That way the cost of running the RV would be included in Q3 numbers.

If this was a good idea, The granny Warriors would of already been approached by HQ.


Sorry to keep bringin this up. You got the guy from Hawaii to thank as well. I let this die for hours and ignored quite a few posts in that time frame.

Ok, I've had it. Shut the hell up! You have made it more than apparent that you don't want to help these two elderly women get out of this fix. That's fine. Your choice. But, why in hell do you feel the need to stay on this thread disparaging anyone else who has helped or wants to? Quite frankly, it's none of your damn business if we want to help them. What we do with our money is OUR business and NONE OF YOURS!

So please take your sanctimonious, pompous attitude somewhere else. I am sick and tired of your naysaying and condemnation of the efforts of the Granny Warriors.

You must not be a "TrueConservative" The Granny warriors are doing this on there own, they are not directed by campaign, not paid by campaign, not working for the campaign. As most all of us its a Grassroots effort. Ron Paul could use his money to get a big bus or RV like other Candidates, but he wont. its a expense that the campaign does not need. WE are the people who make the grassroots efforts work. Also I am sure they are having no "Vacation" I myself am learning quickly how much work some of these things can be. I will be biking across the country to spread the word, thats not relaxing or easy. The planning and getting help is not easy. By no means is it a vacation. Its work that the campaign can never afford.

I left this thread die until some idiot decided to question the length of my lunch break.

I consider this a waste of money. I have a right to an opinion. And let me say, my inbox is full of people that agree quite strongly with me. Only 1 person has spent the time to pm me and call me names however.

Is there a feature where you can block peoples post,i will not mention names but i was curious .maybe away in the forum you can block a users post?

ARC - You took this *wayyy* too far.

Oh, I see. This must be the "might makes right theory". You MUST be a troll, because I cannot imagine anyone who believes in our Republic would dare use the argument that his "inbox is full of people that agree quite strongly with me", as a valid argument for his point.

Note: No need for the secrecy. I sent you a PM and asked you again to stop this horseshit. You refused. I called you a jackass and I stand by it.

Yes, view user profile and select "Add <name> to Your Ignore List"

I put in $40 before the chip-in started. Looks like we're helping a bit...



Let's please end the arguments (both sides ) and negativity here. Not everyone agrees so don't donate then- but it's not like it needs a new tranny every month. If the campaign paid for this then people might feel bitter and not want to donate to the campaign.

BTW- as someone who shadowed the RV for about a week in Iowa and back down to several events in Texas- the thing is a total magnet on the road, at gas stations and more. People just come up and start reading...


For anyone who hasn't seen it, watch the video that I was able to do on them:

Who are the Granny Warriors? Why do they support Ron Paul?

After Iowa I decided I'd donate sometime to them every month. Maybe we need a "Friends of the Granny Warriors" group.

I meet the Grannywarrior in Ft Lauderdale at the Values Debate.

I sat in here RV and chatted with her for an hour. During that hour 20 people stopped by and took pictures. She gave away bumper stickers and sold t-shirts and updated the visitors on the latest details of the events planned for the afternoon and evening. Her RV is an on-site communications center for those of us who attend the RP events. If you have not attended an event, they always seem to be a bit of a moving target logistically. The police, organizers, the RP campaign and event holders all find a way to change locations and times.

Her camper is a a moving billboard and a magnet to all.

She has news paper clippings from newspapers everywhere she has traveled. She had a front page above the fold 6" photos and accompanying article from the Naples, Florida newspaper from the previous day. The PR she is receiving can not be purchased.

Look at her demographics...Granmothers. Just about every person over 65 I have spoken with has an issue with the leap of faith which is required by RP's health care plan. RP's plan removes the certainly, if only in perception, which the other bloated and wasteful plans the others are promising. Her peers see her and maybe give RP another look.

Grannywarrior is an integral and important part of RP's campaign. For those of you who think other wise are mistaken. If you can not see that at this time please reserve your comments and move out of the way so others can assist in getting the RP billboard and communications center back in action.

Well put Scott.

www.RonPaulstickers.com and www.RonPaulyardsigns.com both support the Granny Warriors, as should everyone because of all the reasons Scott cited and more.

Enough of the negativity!!!

Granny Warriors, do your thing!!!

I would really like to know what you have against the grannywarriors. They have brought a lot of awareness to the Ron Paul events. I have personally witnessed it. If they bring 50 to 100 people a day to the cause( at the events they go to) then it is worth it. If I want to support a person(like the grannywarriors) or the people at my meetups groups, then I will and I would encourage others to do so as well because we are fighting the same cause. I don't know why your efforts to gather support for Ron Paul are any better than theres. I mean, how do you know that what they do is not effective?

Oh, and by the way, these people have donated their money to his campaign, probably more than a bumber sticker costs. Besides, not all the bumper stickers out there go directly to his campaign.

You are like the drunk guy who kept picking on Ron Paul at one of my meetup events and refused to back down even when he realized that the guy he was trying win an argument with(being against Ron paul) was Ron Paul's son Robert Paul.


It is like you refuse to back down purely on the principle that you have to be the last one to speak on the subject. It's kind of funny.

I will talk to Robert Paul tonight and see how he feels about the grannywarriors. I have seen the pictures of Ron Paul with the grannywarriors so I know that he approves of the support. If they are helping spread support, while Ron Paul doesn't have the money other candidates do who have multiple buses then why not let them support him in the way they believe is best and most effective.

I am personally going ot give them money and support them because I have seen what their support and dedication has done for these events.(the Texas Straw Poll, and fundraising event the night before.) Besides from the meetup events that I have been to when they are there, members love it because the grannywarriors have supplies at their disposal when group members run out(I have persoanlly seen them work with meetup organizers and help when the chips were low.)

I am not going ot talk about this anymore because it takes away from the issue that the grannywarriors need our help and the people that want to help them will help them and the people who don't won't.

I have already personally donated to Dr. pauls campaign as well in regards to : BTW, if you buy a bumper sticker from Dr Paul, that will show up as a campaign contribution. His Q3 numbers will benefit.

Why don't you call the grannywarriors and tell them that what they are doing is hurting the campaign and then tell the supporters and organizers that root for them the same. I bet you will get a firey response like the ones that have been given on this topic post.

 

[DXDoug]

was at downtown ft. worth when saw em its worth donating trust me

 

[JackLaw]

Why do you feel compelled to influence the private, personal decisions of others?

For a moment, consider what a political campaign is, and what it is meant to achieve.

Maybe then you'll see how absurd this statement is.

 

[allyinoh]

I'm sure the Grannies are doing a fantastic job and I hope people who want to help them do.

I give the Grannies kudos, but my money is going directly to the campaign.

 

[JackLaw]

The elderly women are stranded hundreds of miles from home! They are not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination!

Did that RV buy itself? Or paint itself all over?

Why are people coming down on the grannies? you guys really have your priorities upside down.

If they weren't elderly women, would you feel so strongly about helping them? What if a group of young men were asking for your money, to fix a broken transmission? Would their request evoke these same passions?

Respect your elders. And if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Didn't your mother ever teach you that?

I'm afraid my mother never addressed this particular situation. I can only imagine how it would've gone though...

"Son, you'd better respect your elders, even if they're complete strangers. And by that I do mean send them money to repair their personal property."

By the way, stop challenging the Grannies and we will stop responding to YOU.

That's right.

He's not rationally arguing, in an open forum, against donating to political activists, or suggesting there are better uses for the money.

He's challenging the activists... perhaps even attacking their character? I don't want to put words in your mouth, of course.

 

[thuja]

Come on everyone lets get the ladies on the road! Please help out!

right! they are us. no better cause than real people telling real people about Ron Paul. the rv is very noticeable and it draws in lots of interested new voters. lets all help.besides, how would any of us like being stuck at some transmission shop?
if the work is no good, we will hound that shop till it gives up and does it right.

 

[EvilTwinkie]

Man whats with the hostilities on this thread? If you dont want to donate to the Grannies, dont!

No one is forcing anyone to do anything here. Thats the Feds job

 

[JackLaw]

The only people who could hurt this movement are people who discourage others from doing something for a good cause.

What if there's a better cause? That is, a better use of the money?

Unless you've maxed your contributions under the law, I don't see how you could justify donations to any cause other than the campaign itself.

Grannywarrior is an integral and important part of RP's campaign... If you can not see that at this time please reserve your comments and move out of the way so others can assist in getting the RP billboard and communications center back in action.

That's funny. I thought the RP billboard and communications center was up and running just fine. Yeah... I think it's right here.

Ok, I've had it. Shut the hell up!

...

So please take your sanctimonious, pompous attitude somewhere else. I am sick and tired of your naysaying and condemnation of the efforts of the Granny Warriors.

Don't taser him, bro.

 

[thuja]

I'm serious though.

$1,000 will pay for enough TV time to reach over 50,000 people in my area.

I saw the Granny Warriors at the Iowa Straw Poll. The monkey in the window is cute and all, but the money can certainly be better spent.

this constant call for more and more donations has been going on for some time and Paul supporters can get far more bang for their buck then continually paying for gas and repairs for an RV to travel across country.

If supporters wish to continue to fund a persons vacation, it's almost a free country and I won't stop them - only question the merits.

how boring, glad you are not my travel partner, i would leave you in the last town.
help the granny warriors. it is what we are all about.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Wow, Jacklaw, 7 whole posts. You sure are starting out here on a nice foot.
