I thought WE CAN DO anything??

I'm sorry, i guess i didn't notice the hundreds of thousands of people, nay even a few people that came into this thread and thought it was a good idea. Focus on the man and the message, speak it and live it, and try to understand that the good ideas get followed and lifted up immediately, while the others fall. Let it go, we have much better opportunities.

Organization of the event wouldn't take place on the forum. Getting the idea recognized, advertised, and sites made for pledgers willing to take part is the basis of my post on the topic. What's yours again? Oh yeah, MSM agenda comes last. Screw reality.

Ok, i never questioned your aims or intentions. I perfectly understand what you're trying to do here. You came at me when i expressed my coherent, even-tempered, and subjective opinion. Regardless of this, the beauty of this movement is the decentralized and market-driven forces that are acted out by all the individuals involved. This means that ideas are presented, their utility examined, and conscious choice made through action or inaction.

There are currently 285 members on the forums right now, and yet none of them are in here trumpeting this cause like all other grassroots projects that came to fruition. This is telling...

now please let this thread die...

You mean YOU don't have the time or energy? Because I could easily TAKE the time and energy with no problem.

Whoa. How many hand-written letters have you sent? How many hours have you spent talking to virtual strangers about Ron Paul? How many doors have you knocked on? How many random phone calls have you dialed? How much extra money have you earned all so that you can donate to the campaign and various chip-ins?

If you wish to hold a protest rally, go ahead. No one is stopping you from easily taking your time and energy to promote your agenda. If you are doing all you can to help Ron Paul get elected, and still have resources to spare to bring down the multi-billion dollar corporate media, then more power to you!

I was simply trying to point out that there are other alternative ways to spread the word. Hundreds and thousands of people protested the war in Iraq but they are/were marginalized and soon forgotten. The only ones who paid attention were similar-minded people.

If you do not inform people why they should listen to your message, they'll ignore you. At the FOX debate, Ron Paul was booed for suggesting that our foreign policy was one of the major causes of 9/11. The audience didn't read the 9/11 Commission Report. They didn't understand that we've been meddling in the affairs of the Middle East for decades. They had no reason to doubt the news they watch on FOX every day. No one told them that they are being repeatedly lied to and manipulated by the mainstream media. And they certainly won't take kindly to news about random people holding a protest rally for a candidate they hardly know anything about.

Is that what you got out of my post? Bringing a multi-billion dollar media down?

I'm letting it go since I don't have anything nice to say.
