Emergency Email From The Granny Warriors

[LibertyEagle]

Would some of you also cut and paste Linda's email (my 1st post) and send it to your respective Meetup groups, please? I already sent it to my Meetup Organizer in Austin.

Here's where I don't get some of you. You're all for raising money for some kind of food drive, but when one of our OWN is in trouble and NEEDS HELP, you sit here and belittle their effort and suggest that we should not help them.

That makes absolutely no sense, in my opinion. The reality is that right here, right now, they are stranded and need help. This is more important than any damn food drive!

Alright ... you've beaten me into submission 3rd contribution today

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

I'm not in support of that, either. I think we should stick to knocking on every door we can find, hand out literature.

I'm neutral on the granny warriors

Lets find her a transmission and find her a mechanic, and if we can't find that - lets find them a better RV

I totally agree...AAMCO is a ripoff. Too bad you're not closer to Ohio or i'd have a mechanic lined up to work for free no problem.

These folks have made a huge, positive impact for the cause. That RV with a massive RP picture on the side and a "honk if you speak English" message on the back draws media like a magnet. Many stories already written about the GWs and more in store I'm sure. Plus, the RV is just a great place to hang out at RP events.

The donation bit is everyone's personal decision but please don't question what these folks are doing on the ground for Ron Paul. Attend a few events in person and you will quickly understand the importance.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

English is not the official language, but it is creative

 

[LibertyEagle]

By the way, I received another email from Linda and apparently they have already checked with the junkyards in the area and none have a transmission that will work.

I consider this charity, and not a Ron Paul related contribution.

I can view this as totally separate from Ron Paul, whom I have and will continue to donate to.

-----------

char·i·ty
1. generous actions or donations to aid the poor, ill, or helpless: to devote one's life to charity.
2. something given to a person or persons in need; alms: She asked for work, not charity.
3. a charitable act or work.
4. a charitable fund, foundation, or institution: He left his estate to a charity.
5. benevolent feeling, esp. toward those in need or in disfavor: She looked so poor that we fed her out of charity.
6. leniency in judging others; forbearance: She was inclined to view our selfish behavior with charity.
7. Christian love; agape.

People that are hungry are in MUCH greater need than someone that wants to get their RV fixed so they can follow Ron Paul. 10 times out of 10 I would give to a food drive over buying a transmission.

Tazer Warning

I'm not in support of that, either. I think we should stick to knocking on every door we can find, hand out literature.

Ok,this nice hippie is broke,but i figure i can hold joseph captive with a Tazer until he donates to the GRANNYS ,JOSEPH THINK OF IT AS YOUR GRANDMA STRANDED

I wont tazer you,but i figured a threat from a peace loving hippie,who can get you killer ski/board hookups in colorado,might encourage you from being tazered and coming to colorado to ski or board,so give to the GRANNYS.

 

[LibertyEagle]

ahh, sorry VA then.... listen if you know the year, make and model of the RV, the type of transmission, etc.... I'd be happy to spend my time calling up junk yards and engine/tranny importers to see if anyone has a suitable replacement.

I have a toyota supra and I've blown the tranny on that car about 5-6 times.... I found it's a lot cheaper to just replace with a used unit then pay someone to rebuild the whole thing

Tranny shops tend to be run by very dishonest people unfortunately. They'll fix one clutch or something and charge you for a complete rebuild. I just think they would waste $2-3k by letting AAMCO fix it, also it would probably take less time to just swap trannies if there is one close by.

You can email Linda (Granny Warrior), here:

I emailed the virginia campaign hoping someone in Charlottsville has an IN with a mechanic.

 

[Santana28]

okay okay okay... somebody post the information on the transmission they need and i'll call my mechanic friend who can check around and get back to me quickly. if one is found, then all we'd need is someone to volunteer to transport it. I'm sure we can make this work... someone post the info or PM me and i'll get on the phone!

This guy has the spirit!!

Maybe they could catch a ride to the walk and then deal with the RV.?.

Ditto.. Santana28, you are great dude.. I am proud to have you as a fellow patriot!
