I'm nervous about the Ron Paul overnight (july 3-4)

[megan]

hi dudes.

I'm nervous about everyone posting signs on the night of july 4th.
After the Ron Paul Iowa event, it's so striking how eager the press is to misrepresent RP's supporters--and ultimately, the good doctor himself.

Please only post signs in places where it is legal.
Please make yourselves very familiar with your local posting laws. (e.g., my city code (omaha) prevents posting signs on public property, and I know the media would jump on a chance to bring down the RP supporters because of it.)
Please only post signs on the property of people who want you to post them. Remember, every sign post and window belongs to someone.

Private property is a strong Ron Paul issue, so I hope his supporters do not abuse it on July 3rd!

Make Ron Paul proud, friends.

Civil disobedience, anyone?

We have on the street mailboxes in my development, so I'll be sticking campaign flyers and little notes saying something to the affect of "It's OK to talk to your neighbors about this..." on the outside of the mailbox, between the little red flag and the body of the box.

Civil disobedience, anyone?

I don't think we should consider promotion of a political candidate to fall under the category of "civil disobedience." I hope Ron Paul supporters avoid the mistake of claming "civil disobedience" when businesses/city governments oppose the posting of signs.

Just don't ruffle so many feathers. You can meet the objective of the Ron Paul Overnight, and do it within the bounds your city's laws. It's definitely the right thing to do.

Well, if you get really worried, I'll hold you.

[Gee]

She's right. The media is obviously all over any opportunity to make fun of "fringe" candidates, so I don't see any reason to give them more opportunities to do so to Ron. I think we are beyond the "any press is good press" stage.

I would agree with you if anywhere close to 50% of voters were aware of Ron Paul.

I'm always getting nervous about the supporters... I cringe hearing 9/11. But yeah, I already got an improper parking ticket when I was hanging up my highway "Who Is Ron Paul?" banner... that was a laugh... oddest thing though, its a $75 ticket... but they took my licenses on bond and tacked on court costs already! Gah...

 

[mikelovesgod]

Why worry about bad press? People have no idea who he is. We need to get people to know who he is. There is about 50% of people who don't vote. That's our target!!! Let them find out he is a quack, I don't care, as long as they look them up.

I was told he was a quack, didn't know who he was, looked him up, and then liked him. That's the goal: EXPOSURE

I'm with Megan

I'm with Megan 100% on this one. We can get the message out, and support Ron Paul, without breaking the law or violating anyone's property. Good post Megan!

That was a joke, sweetie.

To some. It is not gentlemanly though.

I wouldn't be suprised if 25% of voters have never heard of Thompson.

Neither is calling all servicemembers murderers, rapists, or babykillers, but that didn't stop you from calling them that, did it?

Yer off again with your flailing at straw men of your own creation. I just took my first gander at your pics.. I now gather why you act they way you do. Stuff your hormones back in your pants pal. Learn to read and parse commentary coherently and trust facts. They wll help you navigate the 3D laboratory universe yer ass is stuck in

Yer Pal

[foofighter20x]

Read and parse what? The idiotic comments you made that you later went back and deleted after you stirred up a minor shitstorm?

You know, they say purposefully removing evidence of wrongdoing is the surest sign of guilt.

Megan's right!!

The July 4th headline does not need to read "Fringe candidate's supporters being cited nationwide for illegal signs/banners"

I definietly like the idea of wearing RP T-shirts and handing out RP trifolds and business cards. Or, the rally down at the beach in Ft. Lauderdale where all the Young Republicans will be.

Look, wherever your area does fireworks for the community, show up in numbers wearing your gear and passing out literature. This is legal, effective, and shows your positive and actively engaged.

Megan agrees that signs are good, but not if we're all getting cited for it!!
