Leave the Party Now!!!

[Ozwest]

In 1968 I was 10 years old living in Chicago.

Regardless of affiliation, that convention will be forever etched on my mind.

Is it possible that some of you will make similar political statements?

 

[Ozwest]

I donated 8000 of my hard-earned towards Ron Paul prior to the New Hampshire Primary through various relatives in the states.

Waiting for a result. Live free or die!

We got whooped.

Shattered.

 

[Ozwest]

I'm more pragmatic now.

 

[Ozwest]

Sorry,

I'm dribbling.

Been partying.

 

[Ozwest]

It's 3:50 am where I live.

And what work is that?

Mindless commitment?

Liberty is telling people what they do not want to hear.

Work means something that sucks to do and you don't want to do it but you have to in order to have gains. In this case, fight for your right to be heard in your party. Run for a party office or a local office. Be the party. Don't commit to their terrible agenda. Make them commit to our awesome agenda.

I think that it might not be a bad move for Dr. Paul, now that the convention is over, to either take over the Constitution Party with a deal that he gets to write a new party platform, or start his own party.

Out supporters would be very excited I believe and the mission would become very clear: Grow the Party..By now many people have heard of Ron Paul and I believe it is mostly in a positive light.

The Libertarian Party is messed up and has a real bad stigma among the masses as a bunch of wimpy pot smokers. The name "Libertarian" just sounds wimpy phonetically.

It might actually be easier to pick up defectors from other parties than to try to break the corrupt stranglehold on the major two parties.

No one expected the GOP to roll over and let us have our way but the lengths they have gone to, to violate, rob, steal, misrepresent, will NOT CHANGE. They control the room, the rules, and every avenue of recourse.
I will not stop trying to change the party however we don't have much time left.
Without something drastic happening within the party, we will be facing this same bulls--t again in 2012.
Our own four delegates from NV who were RP supporters(the only ELECTED DELEGATES) seemed to have "rolled" over on us, while a whole group of us stayed at home here pursuing and continuing our legal fight.
Reality seems to be that it will take decades to take the party over to the point where we can control it and I don't think we have that much time.

I believe that through the tools provided by the Campaign 4 Liberty, we can build up an adgenda of strict construction from the grassroots. I also believe that the level of disgruntled in our communities will, with effort, fetch us 90% of the seats in the GOP and to really begin building up a prominent presence of Strict Constructionists within Congress over the next 6 years.

It's time to vote out the liars within the GOP.

If your experience was like mine, then with another 50 delegates you could swing your counties, and with another 2 or 3 delegates, you could swing your district. With another 280 we would have held our whole state.

In 2009 we will vote for the official GOP Chairpersons throughout the nation, and 2010 we will vote for Congress and Senate. A large number of local offices will be open, like maybe in your State Assembly (Sally?)

We need to build parallel structures between GOP orgs and C4L offices held. Monthly events at precinct and county levels to pull in the grassroots and mingle with your voice on the hill. Events hosted by the C4L on behalf of the GOP to introduce strict construction and for the electorate at large to discuss issues with the potential candidates for the next office within their communities.

This structure will allow the C4L to actively engage the communities and moderate candidates for the cause of Liberty and Construction under the proper auspices of the GOP official organizational cooperation.

Thus building up a vital grassroots Constructionist movement, we push into Chairs and Offices nationwide.

It will not take a major shift to swing the electorate. With one delegate from every precinct in America, we could own 70% of the entire GOP and 25% of the entirety of federal and state government within 6 years. With three delegates from every precinct in America we would have a 98% share of GOP decisionmaking and maybe as high as a 2/3 majority in most offices.

Strict Constructionism from the ground up, and the first numbers game is easy. Our next big numbers game is in February 2010.

I want to try to reach one delegate from every precinct by Feb 2009, and three delegates from every precinct by Feb 2010. Make it an even 5 delegates by Feb 2011, and we will have taken posession of 99% of the GOP. If we can hit seven delegates from every precinct by Feb 2012, then we will win the oval office hands down, purely imho, as well has holding a super-majority of Congreses and the Senate.

The first, and most crucial task is to contact Ron Paul supporters and reconnect with our 1.2 Million strong base. My dream is to hit 1 Million C4L list-members by Nov 5th 2008, but my goal is to hit 1 Million C4L list-members by February '09.

I wished I could agree.

But...

Since I left the States, you have become creatures of comfort apathetic, and worst... Manipulated.

Get your shit together!

I don't know any C4L member that is apathetic or manipulated... besides can you elaborate on what we are apathetic to and manipulated to?

I plan on running for office years from now when I'm old enough to. I don't call that apathetic. I write my congress people about how their votes help or destroy liberties and freedom, I don't call that manipulated. I don't follow the mainstream very closely because its always propaganda, promoting what that company sees fit (Fox explicitly). I tell my friends about the Globalists and Neo Cons plans. I do my share of work and every other supporter out there does that same work times 10.

We aren't gun ho about killing government officials as some may want us. There is possibility for peaceful means to save this country and some would have us rather resort to violence?
But it's not getting done fast enough!

I'll be damned if I let you call supporters apathetic and manipulated. That is disgusting! I like how some people just attack others and it isn't constructive at all!

"you have become creatures of comfort apathetic, and worst... Manipulated"
Constructive? No

Ozwest, they let ME in but they've got a picture of my iris and my finger prints.

After watching the antics of the GOP for the past year, I'm wondering if we might have a better chance in the Democratic Party- I don't see how they could possibly be any less fair than the Nazis who run the GOP...
