How about a little support for Trevor

[xexkxex]

Thank you Trevor for all that you have done.

We all truly appreciate it. Thanks.

Also....Thanks to all of us for all that we have done.

Ron Paul, I'm sure, truly appreciates it.

We are all supporters and all deserve equal praise.

I don't think Trevor's perfect, or the symbol of the revolution or anything...

but he's a good guy, trying to get things done. The amount of Trevor hate on this forum needs to seriously decline. It's getting ridiculous, in a lot of threads these days.

I personally have been upset at everyone that put Trevor down over today's money bomb. Weather it was for planning it before the teaparty, or for giving the media a high figure to shoot for. I think Trevor did exactaly what the campaign asked, they wanted more money and they wanted it now. He stepped up, tried to pull support for Nov. 30th right out from his Teaparty plan. He didnt care if it meant less donation then, he wants to get Ron Paul elected and thats why he made changes. Trvor, you are a patriotic hero. Those who have doubted you, or refused to help today when needed just don't get it. At least you do.

I wish that Trevor would follow the wishes of 80% of people who want TeaParty07.com to be used for the Tea Party only.

That said, I've never attacked him personally and I don't like it when I see others do it. Like a previous poster said, use constructive criticism, but lets not personally attack each other. Contrarily, if somebody doesn't like the way Trevor (or anyone) is handling something, so they make their own website, we shouldn't attack them either.

We need to discuss things and to have constructive criticism, that way the "best" ideas come to fruition. But using harsh words or attacking a persons' character isn't good.

Is the same tactics the neo-cons use. Whenever Bush invaded a country or violated our civil liberties. The neo-cons said, how about a little support for Bush? Obviously, this is unhealthy, and we should always remain vigilant and critical of anything.


Trevor made a good idea, but thats usually what you can expect from a person. Obviously, the dangerous thing to do is to give too much control to Trevor, like they did with bush. There are many good people among us, many who might just have some good or better ideas.
booga booga

Trevor's done an outstanding job! On the personal attacks, keep in mind that they are not allowed on the forum per the guidelines- just flag them with this icon on the right:

Trevor when Ron Paul invites you to the WHITE HOUSE to visit after he is elected President of the United States of America you better be sure to tell us what it was like!

Luke- I'm going with that after Dr. Paul gets in the White House we're ALL going to get invited for one big party there-- my guess is that we'll end up trashing the lawn good!

Agreed,
But it would be nice if someone would listen to the wishes of the 80% of us who don't want to see things like this quoted

"The Internet-based grass-roots community that coalesced around Paul’s candidacy might not have as much giving power as the first money bomb suggested, or it might be losing enthusiasm or fracturing."

Also, Trevor decided to call just about every paper in the country to announce today's huge expected haul. I think those actions hurt us, so I do not support the actions.

I don't know Trevor at all, so it is hard for me to support him personally. I do know what he has written on this forum, promises he has made and broken, and the great deal of damage we will have to deal with in the next few weeks.

We went from having a partially electable candidate after Nov. 5, which by the way was a joint effort among thousands of people, to having a candidate that was not talked about at all because Ron Paul's campaign hasn't pushed for any interviews or taken advantage of endorsements, to now having a candidate that is not electable at all because his grass roots support has disappeared.

Hopefully we will be able to fix that on Dec. 16, but in between we have a lot of damage to undo.

trevor,

you have done so much for this campaign. you're the money bomb engineer. when ron wins, you'll know you had a hand in changing the world!

Trevor is just a ron paul supporter like the rest of us. It takes ALL OF US to make a difference in this campaign, and everything that anyone does for a positive impact is of value. I hope the rest of us are not just sitting back and allowing it to occur. We all need to be leaders and go out into our own communities and continue to hand out fliers, post up signs, talk to people about ron paul, etc.

Trevor helped to bring about a great thing on November 5th, and it looks like December 16th will also be great, but it takes all of us to make it work. That's basically the definition of grassroots. Many people on their own coming together for a common goal. It's a beautiful thing.

The plus side is that every bit of media exposure helps with name recognition which is still critical. So the media reports from today are good. We'll see how things shake out over the weekend but on 11/5 we had a goal of $10M and got less than half- a $500,000+ day is nothing to be too disappointed in. We'll see...

When you look at Trevor for what he has done, the only possible response for me is to be thankful for his ability to channel our collective energy and focus our ideas into action.

And if you disagree, that's fine -- but keep the love in revolution, we can disagree without attacking each other.

 

[RonPaulFTFW]

we must stay strong and UNITED.

ron paul is the reason for the seaon.

 

[tropicangela]

I thank all of you!

You know what? PROVE IT! Where's the damage? Where the MSM saying these things other than in your head?

I did a google news search on ron paul, the only story i found about todays fundraising was positive and there was no mention from the MSM sources

http://www.casinogamblingweb.com/ga...a_million_dollars_in_one_day_again_47827.html
http://www.nolanchart.com/article344.html
http://www.usadaily.com/article.cfm?articleID=182537

The only remotely negative article i found was that one piece from the politico (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1107/7119.html), which wasn't really negative. They said there were disputes among his supporters but we still raised "a one-day tally most campaigns would drool over"...that's pretty accurate, but, once again, no MSM coverage.

CNN, no mention
Fox, no mention
MSNBC, no mention

So, enough "sky is falling" bullshit.

The MSM coverage is not going to come until Monday or Tuesday when the campaign does a presser about the (sic) top tier candidates 3Q totals being exceeded.

Defeatism isn't compatible with the Revolution. Onward and upward.

big +1. The only negativity is coming from our own people

The more times Trevor gets interviewed, the more times we know we'll get a good quote in the paper. The market's picked a good fundraising spokesman, the way I see it.

 

[gmlogmd08]

Just like to echo the majority's testimony in this thread. Nov. 5 is a concerted effort and everybody that contributed to its success should be commended and thanked for. Special thanks go to Trevor and his cohorts for sharing their time and talent in organizing various online grassroots projects such as this. Though yesterday's moneybomb didn't meet its announced goals, raising $500K+ in a 24-hour period is no simple feat. The MSM can twist this however they want, but the fact is, Ron Paul's campaign is half a million richer that could be used NOW for spreading the message of truth, liberty and peace.

Trevor has done a great job! Has been a great money bomb manager. The tactical mistake (if any) was on the part of the campaign -- attempting to influence/manage the grass roots at the last minute. The campaign needs to communicate with us early and often if it wants us to deliver up cash by or before a particular date, rather than try to redirect our momentum once we have something in motion (Dec 16th). Trevor just made the best of a bad situation. The campaign said don't do that--do this, which deflated things. it almost felt like a punch in the stomach to me.
