List constructive criticisms for HQ here

[noztnac]

infomercials and interns

Headquarters should get marketing, media arts, advertising, and journalism majors from Universities across America and put them to work as interns.

Get them producing ads, brainstorming strategies, writing scripts, and generally thinking outside the box.

They can work in tandem with the professionals in the campaign and can offer insight into what works, what does not work, and can offer some constructive criticism.

Many of the students at Universities are willing to work hard in order to gain experience and to make a name for themselves and many of them know their communities far better than headquarters does.

HQ also needs to produce various versions of each ad and have focus groups look at them. Then the best aspects of each ad should be consolidated into one finely honed ad.

Ron Paul should produce 15 minute infomercials on the following and post them on youtube:

Foreign Policy
Monetary Policy
The Department of Eduacation
Welfare Reform
The Plummeting Dollar / Austrian Economics Overview
Civil Liberties
Veterans
Racism in America and what to do about it
The Coming Social Security Shortfall
Foreign Aid
Foreign Policy
Finding POW's
Campaign Finance Reform
Immigration
The War on Drugs and other victimless crimes
Election Reform/ Ballot Access in America
What the founding fathers had to say about political parties
Health Care
The IRS


He can make all of these for a very limited amount of money and post them for free on youtube.
(Ron Paul needs to speak directly into the camera)
Ross Perot's infomercials were very effective and should be used as a guide.

After the videos are posted on youtube RonPaul forums members can offer constructive criticism and the videos can be finely tuned and reposted over time. The best videos or the ones most suited to specific regions of the United States should be aired on local television stations directly before primaries.

SPEND THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My advice is this: On February 6th, he better not have more than 1 million cash on hand. Seriously, what are they thinking? Paul's message has the snowball effect-- he needs to get as many people hooked on him NOW, so that they can go on to convert friends and family. SPEND THE MONEY.

 

[Thucydides]

I think it is essential to make the other candidates not only explain where they will find the money for war, but also where they will find the manpower without a draft. Coming out in favor of a military draft = political suicide. Claiming the military is large enough as it is for the engagements people like McCain are endorsing = easily refuted.

If they want war, they need money and manpower. They have neither. Make them explain where these are to be found.

A complete reset is needing at the campaign HQ.

I would recommend a meeting somewhere in TEXAS for a strategy meeting prior to FLORIDA. BRAINSTORMING, STRATEGY, FEEDBACK,ETC.

This is what i have seen several companies do in the past to turn things around. Works like gold!

I could see stuff like this coming out:

1) put down a budget on how much money do you have left--lets sit down and see the budget and general forecast plan. ie..5 million 3 states, tv ads, radio ads, news paper ads, etc. Have meetups regularly show these numbers to there teams and lead presentations on this in every region and get feedback to a focused HQ team that is the sector coordinator for that region to get info back to the campaign director for that the issues match.
2) make ads that match the issues and focus group the people to review your ads in the region to see if you are even close to hitting the mark. FLOOD THESE TV ADS, radio ads, newspaper ads INTO THESE STATES. Make sure whether people are ok with computerized call systems. Do not frustrate people with calling systems that are automated. People want human beings to talk with. When you issue a plan there is a growth model on everything. 1st you do ads, then build interest, then you overwhelm people once they support you go with bigger infomercials...this was done totally upside down and backwards in Iowa and NH. We were lucky to get what we got because of how badly this was done.
3)Start unifying the attack on the destruction of America like Glenn Beck talks on. Our lives and nation are challenged. STOP PLAYING NICE ON THEIR LIES. YOUR LEAD THE MESSAGE ON TV. USE THE WORDS OF OTHERS RIGHT NOW AGAINST THEM FROM TV CLIPS. BUILD ON ALLIES WE HAVE. BUILD THEM UP. MAKE THEM DEFEND THE IMPOSSIBLE. CONNECT THE DOTS FROM OUTSIDE US ALLIES OWN WORDS ON CFR/NAFTA/WTO plans. This is a major issue. NAFTA--to CFR connnection must be made to attach the whole stage to so many enemies!
4) Start putting TV ads out that show the full truth...only tv ads allow no response long enough for the ideas to sink in. This gives ground not doing this. It looks like we are asleep. Why this hasn't happened to date is very sad to watch for a 20 million dollar quarter. IF the other guy is busy just responding to ads he cant get his message out. Giving you all the time for publicity and getting your message out. THIS IS A MASSIVE ADVANTAGE NOT USED AT ALL.
5) Take advantage of the massive media resources that support Ron that are sitting on their thumbs for the most part trying to do things with very, very little money. Hire these guys in marketing, politics, PR, tv, graphic design, etc on parallel regional project teams and issues to reduce costs, create a razor sharp SUPER attack machine that no one can keep up with on the issues. DECENTRALIZE POWER. BUT SHARE RESOURCES AND INTEL. DO A FULL OUT ATTACK AND CREATE A MEDIA DONATION FUND FOR DIRECT MONEY TO THIS EFFORT. THIS WOULD GIVE US WHAT WE MUST DO TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY.
5) CREATE Presidential intel group create that surfs the web, news, etc arming our future president just as any president is done with morning reports. RON needs to be way ahead of all arguements, debate tricks, etc. This is Romney's advantage. Ron can be much better set up. Start dropping hints and creating your own intel possible people you agree with Buchanan, Moore, etc....show the conservatives you are one of them right now. Do the same for the 3rd rail AARP groups, and powerful support groups.
6) Consider hiring a more conservative RP team on board and split the old libertarian forces and battle plans like you are creating two companies with different customers to go after the state areas in parallel based on liberal and social conservatives in parallel. We appear to not be able to make a decision at all. Too much strategy that would work in the general race is being applied percentage wise to the wrong group in the primary. At the same time areas like Michigan where no one is voting and Florida our liberal voters could be attacking these states right now!!! Ron has two strong wings. The liberal supporters and the social conservatives. They need parallel operations to catch us all up. Ron has a strong voice for the christian base as does he for the reagan democrats. He actually won several polls(even though systems were broke on the votes for this) at value voters. We should be obliterating all sides at rapid speeds they cant keep up with. THIS MUST HAPPEN TO KILL THE UNELECTABLE TAG. THIS IS WHAT IS KILLING US!!!! IF ALL PEOPLE SEE OR KNOW IS RON PAUL THAT CHANGES. THEN YOU GO AFTER EVENTS, THEN YOU SIGN PEOPLE UP.
7) Look for niche ideas to promote the people that support paul to be people you want to align with. All papers should be flooded, human phone call groups not automated systems(we have 100,000 people we can do human phone calls this is what got ross perot his success), community out reach during poll nights like taking care of kid volunteer jumping places, giving us a bump in the eyes of the voters at churches and schools across America. Also this give us a bump at the after vote for having our people ready to go vote and parents pick up and leave with their kids, maybe some stay to support us.
8) Do Prep debates with Ron against strong conservatives in play acting. Get him prepped with his Intel to get people taken out. He needs to feel VERY strong in the debates no matter what. THE Stronger he is the more relaxed, sometimes the more humor, the more strength, the more trust is built. He needs to try a few quick wit humor ideas and put them into shock. We can turn this around its easy to do. Ron is an excellent speaker. When tough tactics are tried you can confront and say no...not going to answer or trick into this. Reagan always did well with taking over things with humor. This always work. Crossness and frustration works sometimes but has to be not all the time.
9) Create a team that deals with seeking endorsements and meetings at HQ to go through one on one meetings in states with Ron to empower these peoples questions and ideas. DO NOT IGNORE THESE PEOPLE THEN CALL THEM BEGGING FOR THEIR CALL LISTS! IT MAKES US LOOK LIKE TOTAL IDIOTS! THIS HAS HAPPENED with a very serious endorser. All they can say is i am frustrated, disappointed and start looking at other candidates to plug into.

PLEASE EDIT THIS PIECE WITH WHITE SPACE SO THAT PEOPLE WILL READ IT! There are some terrific ideas here.

You reminded me that every campaign I've ever worked with had a "Democrats for Our Candidate" division with a recognized leader who helped galvanize those voters. Do we have "Democrats for Paul?" We also need Christians for Paul, etc. We need a way for people to identify with the campaign that might otherwise fall through the cracks. These are all volunteer positions and they are headed by a person recognizable to the target market. For example, NH probably would have been the state to have Independents for Paul.

From another excellent post:

Dr. Paul must learn to say: "We need to eliminate the FEDERAL Dept of Education, SO THAT the Parents, Teachers, and Principals can control and improve their PUBLIC SCHOOLS at the STATE and LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEVEL."

He must say: "We need to reduce FEDERAL WASTE and BUREAUCRACY to work towards eliminating the BURDENSOME FEDERAL Income Tax, so we can SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE, and allow STATE and LOCAL governments to fund their roads and schools."

He need to say: "We must restore RESPECT for America around the world. We must STOP the TORTURE, CORRUPTION and CIA covert operations that make the world hate us... and refocus the CIA onto gathering SOLID INTELLIGENCE."

He must say: "We need to DEFEND AMERICA, and it is high time for Europe, Japan and Korea to PAY FOR THEIR OWN DEFENSE."

And he MUST say: "OUR TROOPS HAVE WON THE WARS in Iraq and Afghanistan. They DESERVE TO COME HOME, not to be stuck in the desert forever policing, fighting and dieing to prop up lazy & corrupt government in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan."

You've illustrated NOUN, VERB, EXCLAMATION POINT AND "What's in it for me" in action. Simplify the message so that the listener understands the BENEFITS, not the features. Dr. Paul has preached features. No one cares about features. They want benefits.

Hire some incredibly good campaign staff!! The best thing Ron can do is get the best and teh brightest campaign strategists on his payroll.

SPEECHWRITER is needed to assist & CLARIFY TALKING POINTS!

The media AND the public are not REALLY hearing what Ron Paul is saying.

When he says: "eliminate the Dept of Education"
They hear: "end public schools"

When he says: "end the income tax"
They respond: "But how will we pay for roads & schools?"

When he says: "end the CIA"
They say: "how will we stop terrorists"

When he says: "withdraw troops from everywhere"
They hear: "Isolationism! get rid of the Army, Navy, etc. -- are you crazy?"​

Seriously, this is what people are HEARING.

He must understand that he is speaking to the media and to voters. He gives them too much credit. They are effectively "morons," and he (generously) treats them like his equals. They are not. (For example the Fox debate mention of "Gulf of Tonkin" went over the heads of 95% of the audience -- needed to clarify by saying "the Gulf of Tonkin resolution that was fraudulently used by the Democratic Johnson administration to attack Vietnam in the 1960's..." because otherwise they are all going "huh? Gulf of what??").

And by "morons" I mean that he need to realize he is attempting to teach a bunch of very REMEDIAL students a LOT of stuff -- and they are "students" with short little attention spans and very limited knowledge -- and most of what they do "know" and were taught is flat-out wrong (witness the whole Lincoln/Civil War/Slave issue -- EVERY main history text for the past 50 years has emphasized "States Rights" as the cause -- but every media person out there FLUNKED history, or passed by cheating off someone else's test!)

So, he needs a REALLY GOOD speechwriter to help him both simplify and clarify his message on all of these things. (Ron is an excellent writer and even a pretty good speaker, but on the campaign trail you CANNOT do all of these things yourself! Get some competent assistants to give you assistance, please!)

Dr. Paul must learn to say: "We need to eliminate the FEDERAL Dept of Education, SO THAT the Parents, Teachers, and Principals can control and improve their PUBLIC SCHOOLS at the STATE and LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEVEL."

He must say: "We need to reduce FEDERAL WASTE and BUREAUCRACY to work towards eliminating the BURDENSOME FEDERAL Income Tax, so we can SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE, and allow STATE and LOCAL governments to fund their roads and schools."

He need to say: "We must restore RESPECT for America around the world. We must STOP the TORTURE, CORRUPTION and CIA covert operations that make the world hate us... and refocus the CIA onto gathering SOLID INTELLIGENCE."

He must say: "We need to DEFEND AMERICA, and it is high time for Europe, Japan and Korea to PAY FOR THEIR OWN DEFENSE."

And he MUST say: "OUR TROOPS HAVE WON THE WARS in Iraq and Afghanistan. They DESERVE TO COME HOME, not to be stuck in the desert forever policing, fighting and dieing to prop up lazy & corrupt government in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan."​

Now granted he in many ways he already SAYS all of these things -- just not as concisely as I have written above (and there is room for improvement in the above, I am just offering examples!) Currently, he normally takes 5 minutes to clarify and explain his positions, which is precisely 4 1/2 minutes TOO LONG; people have already "tuned him out" -- or his answers include references to things that people do NOT understand (remember, these are REMEDIAL students -- the smart ones are either already on-board or will be impressed with the clarity of the remediation being presented).

extremely good points! Dr. Paul has the exact right message, but the delivery isn't clear and concise enough for the vast majority of voters.

 

[expatinireland]

I came to the conclusion that Ron Paul's top campaign staff doesn't have a clue when I watched the town hall meeting in Manchester.

The staging was absolutely dreadful. Any college drama or radio/TV graduate could have done better. Not only was the backdrop sloppy but here was Ron Paul with grey hair in a grey suit standing before a grey background. The campaign was totally in control here and they could at least have made the setting look presidential. No excuses whatsoever for this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VQcpmfT0f4&feature=user

We are actually lucky that the town hall meeting was only seen by a few people (other than loyal followers|) connected to Manchester cable TV.

So my number one suggestion is new people at the top.

Ron needs a manager who is a proven winner at the national level. Ron might be able to trust his existing top people but trust alone will not win this campaign and I believe most supporters are not in here donating their time treasure and talent as an exercise in educating the electorate. Without a management change or evidence of progress in the polls the campaign will have difficulty building on its early funding and volunteer successes.

Number 2 is that Ron Paul could simplify (ie. don't say the word Austrian economics one more time!) his message for the man on the street but he needs help with this from competent advisers which takes me back to number one.

2) simultaneously embrace and reject obama, constantly.

Constructive criticisms - wording

The most important topic is the economy and although he correctly identifies U.S. foreign policy spending is ruining our government. He fails to iterate that private, special interest companies are behind both the Federal Reserve and also pushing for the war and for the U.S. bases in 160 countries, that accounts for the greatest amount of the spending. He needs to word the message in a way that voters will understand that the current financial system benefits only the special interests-private Federal Reserve bankers at the expense of all the rest of the taxpayers.

1. Federal Reserve. He needs to state the Fed Res is not a governmental entity, but PRIVATE bankers who decide in secret meetings what the interest rates all of the rest of us have to pay. And then explain further, "Fed Res prints U.S. currency out of thin air, "loans" it to the U.S. government who taxpayers pay back to these Federal Reserve private bankers not only the amount it received from the Fed Res and pay back extra dollars in the form of interest to these bankers. All in blatant violation of the U.S. constitutional Article __ (whatever) which clearly (1) states only the U.S. government can (whatever phrase it is in that Article 'coin') make the currency, and (2) that it must be backed by metal (I think that is in there somewhere also, not sure.) It is a special interest issue versus the taxpayers.

2. He fails to state that special interests who have governmental contracts, i.e., Halliburton, Blackwater, etc. make billions off of the Iraq war directly, and the oil companies make more money because the war forces the price of oil to go up because oil future speculators will pay more for future contracts when a war is going on and is expected to go on, than they will when there is no war.
He usually just says, if we start to pull out, the price of oil will go down immediately. He never says that the soldiers are fighting and losing their lives while rich people who own the governmental contracts involved in the war, not only don't lose their lives or limbs, but get richer from it.

In short, he needs to state the words that these special interests push spending through Congress under the guise of helping the taxpayer, but in reality charge exorbitant prices (even no-bid) to the U.S. government for products and services that the taxpayer doesn't need under the guise of helping the taxpayer. In short, foreign spending is a sham for the rich at the expense of the taxpayer.

I'm sorry but the fact is that a lot of this is just so much fluff and drama.

A lot of the suggestions I'm seeing here make me wonder: how many of you are actually volunteering?

I see a lot of people complaining about communication- I was on a conference call with state headquarters in Illinois last night. So were dozens of other people. If you are involved in a MeetUp group or Get Out the Vote then your voice is being heard. If you are not involved then how can you expect to be heard?

The other most common complaint seems to be about the ads. In order for these complaints to be noteworthy they have to go beyond just saying 1) I don't like the ads 2) make better ads. The campaign cannot and will not use the grassroots ads. There are so many reasons for this that it is not even worth getting into. It will not happen. It cannot happen. FEC, accountability, demographics, the list goes on.

I am not saying, "Do not criticize." Far from it! I am always looking for feedback regarding my website and my MeetUp efforts and I think that constructive criticism of the campaign is vital.

Offering constructive criticism, though, means being responsible and being realistic.

Get out and volunteer. Become a Precinct Leader and make some phone calls. If we fail to Get Out the Vote from our neighbors who already support Ron Paul then all of the communication and all of the television ads in the world will not mean anything.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you want action to be taken based on your opinion then you have to earn it through merit.

New York

This morning I received an email from Jim Ostrowski. Jim is the volunteer who appointed by the campaign to be in charge of delegate selection for New York state. An election attorney he was instrumental in getting Ron on the ballot in New York. He is also a regular contributer to Lew Rockwell.com His email said:

The campaign needs to hire a state coordinator and start spending money. If they don't, we're all wasting our time. This should have been done months ago.

[wowabunga]

(ie. don't say the word Austrian economics one more time!) his message for the man on the street

I read the newspapers EVERY day and have NO CLUE what Austrian economics means...!

Give the Ron Paul economic plan a nick name, Newt Gingrich had this "Contract with America" thing going, a phrase I have burned into my memory... no clue what he had in there but he "looked and acted" like he was work'n on something there. How about Ross Perot and how he kept telling us we need to "check under the hood".

So about that nick name deal for Austrian economics and our economic peril... have a grass roots competition for the nick name... winner gets lunch with Dr Paul. Start using the buzz word/phrase SOON. Sorry to disappoint but when I hear the word "Austrian" my mind only sees the Swedish Bikini Team (ah the effect of a good buzz phrase).

I believe you know mine!

Please post them here or send me a specific PM for me to incorporate.

While I suspect I know yours, and those of many others who have PM, emailed, called me, etc., in private because we didn't want to air the campaign's dirty laundry publicly, NOW is the time and this is the place if we want changes.

Insanity: doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

Wait, is that supposed to be a bad thing?

 

[rockwell]

What, exactly, is the point in this exercise in futility? I don't mean that in an unneccessarily mean way, but from what I've seen, since Ron Paul first announced, not a single piece of advice from the grassroots has been heeded. If you can squander resources like Donna D'Erico and Liv by not using them to reach the young male segment- something so in your face obvious, then nothing subtle is going to be listened to.

And whoever said "Austrian economics" was spot on. I have a 145 IQ and it took me until my 40's to even stumble across it, never mind the time it took to come to a fundamental understanding of it. And I was interested, how many average Americans do you think that's going to resonate with? Come on.

BRING THE TROOPS HOME.

END THE IRS.

STOP SPYING ON US.

IT'S THE ECONOMY, KNUCKLEHEAD.

What more does this guy have to do? Virtually nothing, but he needs to get some help and pronto or this is all over. I don't watch tv, but I do listen to radio and I have never heard a RP commercial, not once.

Hello?

Is this thing on?

 

[t3rmin]

He keeps missing a great opportunity on the "Should we be helping Israel?" question. Every time this subject comes up I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for him to drive it home with this easy slam-dunk. Something like this:

"Israel doesn't need us because she's PROVEN able to take care of herself. Ever heard of the Yom Kippur War? Even when vastly outnumbered and taken by surprise on a Jewish holy day Israel kicked ass all the way back to Cairo! (*HUGE AUDIENCE APPLAUSE*) The Six-Day War is similar. Against tremendous odds and a coalition of enemy nations, Israel triumphed. Israel is determined, tough, well-prepared and we are ONLY HURTING THEM WITH OUR INVOLVEMENT."

Make sure to throw in the part about 3-times the aid to Arab nations, how Israel has nukes and Arabs don't, and the rest. But we've got to emphasise that Israel is NOT HELPLESS without us.

 

[stevedasbach]

Sheez, Steve, talk about resume dropping.

Seriously, I think the other Steve (can't we get a quota or something ) is referring to those from Dr. Paul's 1988 race in addition to Seehusen.

Point being -- if they had been actively involved in the LP during the past 28 years, chances are I would recognize their name.

Dr. Paul ran his 1988 campaign with his own people -- people he'd worked with prior to joining the LP. In other words, their involvement with Dr. Paul preceeded their involvement with the LP.

My point is that the notion that the problem with the national management of Dr. Paul's campaign is that it is being run by a bunch of Libertarian Party folks simply isn't accurate.

To the extent that LP folks are involved in the campaign, it is generally at the grassroots level and/or state level staff.

 

[Henry]

Here is what I wrote Bradley.

"Dear Bradley,

For months I tried as hard as I could to temper my dissatisfaction with the campaign staff, but I reached a point where this self-imposed suppression reached a breaking point. My problem with the campaign staff is not as a result of what took place in Iowa yesterday. It really began back in July and August earlier this year.

As the Marketing Director in the Jacksonville Meetup group I made many attempts to contact Jesse Benton to help in setting up interviews with local talk show hosts, Newspaper interviews, etc. etc. The results of these efforts netted nothing and I do mean nothing. Not once did I receive the courtesy of a single response from him. Even if he did respond with an answer denying a request, that I would have accepted.

I took a hiatus from my work to give my full effort in enhancing name recognition for Dr. Paul. Needless to say that time away from work reeked havoc on my family and me. Despite that I maintained a positive attitude and pushed on.

In October of this year I learned that a Florida Campaign Coordinator was named, his name was Mark Cross. I was elated that finally I might be able to coordinate efforts with someone local. Well I emailed, and phoned and you guessed it “No Response”. Here is a copy of one email.


“Hello Mark,
My name is Henry Eideh and I'm the Marketing Director for the RP Jacksonville group. http://ronpaul.meetup.com/166/
Pursuant to the email I received (below) David Allen of the David Allen Show will be calling to see if you would be willing to be on his show. David has been a big supporter of our group here in Jacksonville, which as you know the media has been a tough nut to crack. Here is David's Website http://www.thedavidallenshow.com/website/home.html.
I would like to know if you would be willing to do other interviews here in Jacksonville? Please let me know.
Henry”


What’s ironic and in my frustration to get someone from the campaign to cooperate I tried to think of some nationally prominent person that would be willing to support Dr. Paul. Immediately Judge Napolitano's name came to mind, so I decided to contact him.


Now here is the ironic part. Within ten minutes of contacting the judge, he responded with “Yes I’ll be happy to do an interview”. Here is a person that’s not directly connected to the campaign answering promptly, yet our own campaign staff never showed the decency or professionalism to respond once! BTW I posted the interview with the Judge on the forum and many people listened to it.


I conclusion, I didn’t want to post my disillusionment of the campaign staff on the forum for fear of adding fuel to the fire, however I wanted you to know, and selfishly get it off my chest! The time I dedicated to this campaign has caused irreparable damage, and I stopped doing any marketing on behalf of our group.


I have all the faith in the world in Dr. Paul, I will support him to individuals, and I will vote for him, but in so far as the campaign staff they can go to hell.

Respectfully,

Henry"
