Help Elect a RPF Lobbyist to RAND2016 Campaign!

[TaftFan]

I do recall this idea coming up before the 2012 campaign. hopefully Randal's campaign is more open to suggestions and interaction from grassroots folk. Since I'm sure some of his people read rpfs on a regular basis maybe he'll hear about this. Hell, It'd be cool if Randal did an Ask Me Anything thread on rpfs some time soon; before a presidential campaign

I don't want him to do an AMA here. You just know that certain people would be extremely rude and hateful to him. Maybe he could do a private AMA, where you have to apply to participate before the event so that his opponents wouldn't be included.

Naw, I think the moderators here could handle it. In fact, I'd suggest he do an AMA and rpfs send out a notification email about it beforehand to all non-banned members. Maybe we could use it bring some of the old blood back.

He can handle it. It would be heavily monitored anyway, so that TOS would be enforced.

I only have one question to ask of him in which I'd like a public, official postion. And I ain't tellin'.

Of course, everyone probably already knows it anyhow. It's not like I haven't brought it up like a gazillion times. Heh...

 

[helmuth_hubener]

I nominate Conza!

I'd be fine with Gunny, too.

 

[Matt Collins]

Assuming I do not end up working for his campaign in North Carolina.

After publicly trashing the Brannon campaign, I would bet serious money that this will never ever happen.

This thread is silly... there will of course be volunteer coordinator(s) in place to interact with volunteers.

Low value post, just for you

Whoever it is should create a suggestion box (however they like, perhaps as an email address) and place it in their signature.

 

[jjdoyle]

I nominate Gunny, Deb, or Penny Freeman.

Gunny is in an important state, and is close enough to where the headquarters is rumored to be located to drive over in a day if needed.
Not sure where Deb is located, but I think Penny Freeman is in Texas, so that's a bit far from Kentucky and not really a potential swing state at this point.

Yes, and it is important for any volunteers from RPF who might be interfacing with the campaign, to actually be in touch with the sentiments of the rest of the RPF grassroots. Which is why we are having this discussion.

I'm on board with nominating GunnyFreedom

 

[William Tell]

Gunny is the man. I don't know how much this idea will help, though. We will probably just get more frustrated now, when the campaign does stuff the grassroots does not like.

Sure, because of course you will run to Rands people and whine about how I thought O'Neil did a terrible job, made several huge mistakes, and therefore I should not be involved. Only people who think Rothfeld and co are perfect should ever have a part of the echo-chamber.

You know, actual...smart...people prefer to surround themselves with people who disagree with them.

No, that is not the problem (although I still consider your analysis of the issue to be flawed). The problem is that you did your complaining openly and publicly.


I take issue with how things are done sometimes too, but I don't air it out in public.

It didn't matter, the campaign was over at that point.
If anything, it should be done publicly, so that we can grow the movement and potential future candidates will know of the rot associated with some political organizations.

Yes, anything to assert your demigodness. After the campaign was completely over, the general had already started, and in a post-mortem thread on RPF's I detailed what went wrong. That's how you improve your future results and get on with the business of winning. It is the membership of THIS board whom I want to have the skills to win elections, therefore I shared strategic direction with the members of THIS board as to what was done wrong, what was done right, and what could be done better.

Would you rather the Ron Paul Liberty movement remain ignorant on how to win elections?

Of course you would. Because you are not what you seem.

Last time you threatened to go whining to Rand's people how terrible I was, did you ever go through with it? Do you need me to get you Rand's phone number so you can make good on your threat to go whining to him how terrible I am?

 

[TaftFan]

I think Matt and Glen, regardless of who is right (and I tend to agree with the latter on the NC race) , present a good argument for remaining anonymous on forums.

[ClydeCoulter]

Open and public debate?

"You're not supposed to talk about religion or politics to another."

That's what keeps us separate, divided, a people without a home.

Get it out in the public for discussion, debate, knowledge, understanding....leads to wisdom.

It's not so much to get the campaign to do what the grassroots wants, it's more to make sure the campaign is aware of the sentiment and the ideas that are circulating in the grassroots, and also to generally improve the relationship between the grassroots and the campaign by demonstrating an effort. In terms of actually influencing what the campaign does, you are right it is unlikely to have much of an impact at all. Who knows. Maybe we can get Rand to scrap that blasted man over the hill singing.
