No, she believes (correctly I might add) that a unified brand is more important. For those of you in the business world, the first thing that they teach you in politics is that you cant run a campaign like a business.
I sat through every moment of the training and it was good. She didn't threaten to sue, she simply asked us no to sell or give away her resource book because it is her Copyrighted intellectual property and in the past she has had to sue to keep it out of other campaigns hands. If I worked for over 30 years in politics and wrote a campaign manual, I don't think it is too much to ask that people don't spread it around. Seemed like a very minor thing to me.
She also isn't saying what people cannot do. What she focused on is that some of what we do is less effective then other things and she would rather that we focus on the techniques that work. I keep reading peoples comments about how she doesn't understand this revolution or how someones street smarts or gut is better then her ideas. Some even suggest that she doesn't know what she is doing because we are somehow different.
Get over yourselves. The 60's and 70's had grassroot campaigning that made this look like a hobby farm. There are so many of you I wish i could tell to shut the hell up. This is the only campaign many of you have worked on an somehow in a few months you have become experts. RON PAUL IS AT 3%. WE brought him this far, now we need to see how the professional win and do what they do. there is a reason the neocons win every time. They know how to win. Now we have someone willing to teach us how they do it and some people want to laugh her off and say that you can win without. Ron Paul apparently doesn't think so, otherwise he wouldn't have hired her.
Ultimately, at the training she said one important thing that I will pass on. If you want to win, then learn the proper process. If you want to do your own thing. Then go do it. Nobody will stop you but the groups here in Florida are now very dedicated to getting this winning system in place and we really hope that all the other states will join in. A trickle of water cuts a little stone over a long time. A rushing river can carve solid stone.
I would rather be a part of the river.
Lastly, remember that people like us are in the minority. Most people still aren't paying attention to the election. Most people wont until about 60 days before the primary. We are rare. We are roughly 10% of the population and the efforts that we are putting in is still geared toward that 10%. Anita is teaching us on how to go after the other 90%.
Hear her out. Its worth your time!
