List constructive criticisms for HQ here

Read the update and really liked the list, Bradley. My #1 thing I'd like to see is a someone who specializes in speech/language advising Dr. Paul. Let's hope HQ will take our advice to heart.
 
#1: On the claim in the RP forums that we are selling Rebellion:

Wrong message. We are not selling rebellion.

That is exactly the line of thinking that gets us 8% and not 60% of votes.

We are selling HOPE for a better life for the average man or woman on the street with kids to feed and mortgages to pay.

If you lose sight of that ALL your efforts will be for nothing.

#2 Ron Paul Donation Fatigue

Literally a thousand mini-industries have cropped up asking for donations for Ron Paul projects.

While I agree with Free Markets, the overall sentiment is already verging on donation fatigue.

Perhaps Dr. Paul can highlight which of the projects are the most urgent, so that the public can focus the limited resource of money (from the grassroots) on that which is needed most?

More importantly, which projects legitimately funnel money - all of it - to the official RP campaign. I have noticed quite a few 'donation sites for Ron Paul' which are likely false.
 
He needs famous people to endorse him!

I would also love to here a catchy campaign song! one that every body knows! and when they here it they think Ron Paul!

something very American! Like Johnny Cash
 
Dr. Paul's personal message to the older folk (and they are the voting majority) should be:

"I will support all those who are currently dependent on Medicare by curbing wasteful spending in the wars, revising our foreign policy and strengthening the value of the dollar."

Again, repeat after me:

Ron Paul's message is MAINSTREAM, not fringe.
Ron Paul's message is MAINSTREAM, not fringe.
Ron Paul's message is MAINSTREAM, not fringe.
 
Obviously the funny Jesus question/answer from Huckabee at the CNN/YouTube debate resulted in an increase of his supporters.

Fred Thompson tried the funny card on the SC Fox debate. Let's see how his numbers result of that. The room of 'undecided individuals' after the debate stated they liked the funniness.

Basically be funny! :p
 
Hire Michael Scheuer or other ex-cia, ex-military, or ex-intelligence people who are speaking out against the war and the foriegn policy.

So a password protected sub-forum then? By what standards shall someone be given access? Who decides who gets access? More importantly, how would the members of the sub-forum have a greater impact? What is the connection with the official structure?

That's been the question all along. There are people from the grassroots who have officially volunteered through the campaign and try to coordinate with them. Many of these people aren't involved in meet-ups or this forum, but they are all cooperating with the campaign. If these volunteers had a place to meet to discuss issues with each other, it would be easier to detect impending problems and correct them before they become crises.
 
Someone said reassure SS/medicare/foodstamp recipients of continuation of benefits... I say, go one better on this and promise cost-of-living increases more in line with real inflation.
 
Nationwide PR

Hire the agency that does the Geico ads.
"I just saved a bunch of money on my taxes by switching to Ron Paul"

HILARIOUS...!

I chuckle because many years ago I worked for a now defunct advertising agency who held the GEICO account... the ads the management pushed and forced us to produce were predictable and head numbingly dull. ( see signature quote below )

Peace and Joy,
Ramblin Randy


"The business community wants remarkable advertising, but turns a cold shoulder to the kind of people who can produce it. That is why most advertisements are so infernally dull.... our business needs massive transfusions of talent. And talent, I believe, is most likely to be found among nonconformists, dissenters, and rebels."

1. Make it clear the federal income tax is only used to pay interest to the federal reserve and is NOT re-distributed.

2. I want Ron to attack the Federal Reserve more clearly so more people will feel compelled to research it.

3. Ron should challenge the other candidates to state their position on the illegal Federal Reserve system.
 
an idea to verify votes

i put this in the 'what do we do for exit polling thread' and got some positive responses:
We set up booths or groups as close to the polls as 'they' will let you. Have petitions that only ask RP voters to sign that they voted 'today, at this polling station' that they voted for Ron Paul. Do it for as many of the polling places as possible in each primary. Then count the totals and compare to the 'official' results. Then go to town!;)
 
Hold a press conference and hold Romney's feet to the fire regarding his comments in the last debate about never having heard Dr. Paul's stance on Illegal Immigration (even though Romney heard Ron Paul speak in-depth about illegal immigration 5 days earlier in the ABC debate). This could be very effective strategy for the campaign, Address the press and directly respond to the attack, with vigor to DEMAND that Mitt Romney takes back his false statement and attack on Ron Paul. If Romney falls for it he'll respond with another counter-press release and THAT is when the controversy and media attention comes.... Just a thought. Learn from the pros, Hillary and Obama do is all the time
 
Dr. Paul has to have a strong "I will HELP create JOBS" message.

That is another one missing from the official campaign.

i.e. I know of an opportunity that can create 8,000 or more jobs in the next three years.

Get more Ron Paul supporters with job creation opportunities, get them together in a room with Dr. Paul.
Validate the "I can HELP create JOBS" message.

No RP government intervention. Just encouragement and guidance and persuasion.
