I am asking each of you - please run for office. (Local, State, Federal)

[MrAustin]

If not us, then who?

Prepare yourselves.
Situate yourself financially.
Study history.
Study the constitution.
Learn the political process.
Learn how to lead people.
Learn how to talk with people.
Learn to speak in front of a crowd.
Learn to raise money.

I recognize and respect this is a very personal decision. I'm asking each of you to personally consider it, as am I.

 

[bluesc]

Yes!

At the very least, get involved in your local GOP. Attend meetings. Speak out (in Republican language). Local and state GOP chairmen have a lot of power too.

Find competitive seats, get a good amount of $$ pledged, build name ID for up to a year before, meet the editorial board of local newspapers a few times, and then announce.

I definitely will in ~10 years. I plan to take the Justin Amash route:

University of Michigan undergrad => University of Michigan Law School => Michigan state house => U.S Congress by the time I'm 31.

If he can do it, why can't I?

 

[hueylong]

Happy to help anyone who is thinking of running for office.

 

[Javu]

The seeds have been planted. The revolution will occur 20 years from now when the old wither and the youth become the new old.

-I've been getting pushed a bit locally to step up to the plate for anything. I'm almost convinced i need to.

 

[Paulistinian]

I want to in Santa Rosa, California but I'm not quite sure how to get started...

 

[PineGroveDave]

I have been attending and speaking out at the local Board of Supervisors meetings. A local organization is suggesting I run for a seat and may be willing to fund me.

Outstanding! I'm in AZ, but moving to idaho in a few years. That's where I'm going to start my 'political career' if my wife and I decide it's the right thing for us.

Get involved with the most powerful political party in the area. The party doesn't matter just don't let them know your a Ron Paul guy. and donate time to the party. Then when they bring up elections in a meeting say you would like to run for said position. If (unlike me) you have not had any political outbursts in the party they may back you and you could win. Once in you work your way up and run on your record.

 

[JWRIDDLER]

I'm 25 right now and trying to get into medical school. I plan on serving in the Navy or Airforce as a Orthopedic Surgeon then someday running for Congress...In 10-15 years there will be an enormous wave of mini-Ron Pauls running for public office on all levels...

 

[TheOnlyJustCause4505]

IVe thought about it, but I have a dui. Also, Im in Missouri -- the miac report and all.

 

[Kandilynn]

I would like to run at sometime in the future. Also, my husband may run for office at some point after we get ourselves financially situated and finish school. For now, I'm going to be very careful in my selections for state and local government and support those that I believe will help to promote the cause of liberty.

 

[Luieburger]

I totally agree! I'm planning on running for state office this year. Might win, might not. Who knows.
