LPAC 2012 Just Announced!

[HOLLYWOOD]

NICE... but they probably 'doubled-down' on all your contact info... sold it to marketers, head hunters, pollsters, blah blah...

These criminal orgs never take anyone off 'THIER LISTS"

 

[Paulistinian]

I always give the GOP telemarketers a piece of my mind... Essentially the same thing OP said. +rep.

 

[AJ Antimony]

It would probably more productive if instead you tell them under what circumstances you would donate to them and how much that would be.

By just saying "Stop calling, I'm voting 3rd party" they're going to think you're a 3rd party/fringe person anyway. It's not going to register to them that you actually WANT to help the GOP/RNC under the right circumstances.

I'd say something like:

"Oh hi. I was hoping to donate $2000 to the RNC this year because I really want to see Obama lose. However, after studying the record of nominee Mitt Romney, and after seeing how the RNC treated the grassroots and Ron Paul supporters at the national convention, I can't possibly donate to the RNC in 2012. The RNC needs to drastically change its policies and behavior in order to earn money from me. They have to fully embrace Ron Paul Republicans, Tea Party GOP activists, as well as the grassroots in general. They need to stop supporting big-government Republicans and have to instead support small-government Republicans in line with the actual platform. When the RNC makes these changes, then I'd be more than happy to donate."

My understanding is that you can tell telemarketers to take you off their list but political groups have no restrictions. So they still may take you off their list but you can't go after them as it is not a crime.

There's no "scoop" at that link.

Not political calls.


As for the OP, as somebody else said I think it's better to say under what circumstances you'll vote and/or donate to the Mitt. Point out a couple of things that Mitt and BHO are the same and say you'll need more time to think about you who are voting for. That way somebody else from Mitt's campaign will call again and you drop other little knowledge bombs on that caller. This way you waste their time and give them something to think and talk about.

Here's the "scoop" without clicking.

Join Senators Jim DeMint (SC) and Mike Lee (UT) — two liberty-loving and Constitution-defending Senators — for a one-hour briefing at LPAC. Space is limited to only 20 participants so sign up for your spot now. This is a unique opportunity to sit down with two U.S. Senators and hear their perspective on legislation and what lies ahead.

3-day pass $120
1-day training $50

It's in Chantilly, VA, so be prepared to get yourself there as well.

I don't see any reason to go, personally, so I won't be. It seems like quite a lot of money to spend to go "train" and miss work :>

I also received a call from the Republican Party. Right after I had watched the CSPAN video of RNC Chairman Reince Priebus at the Ohio Delegate Breakfast where he made a joke of his, "The ayes have it!" sham of the previous day....

http://www.c-span.org/RNC/Events/Ohio-Delegate-Breakfast/A307849-1/

The jerk is introduced at about 22:58 and he starts off with that line. As a joke, I guess, but he was almost the only one who laughed. The audience clearly didn't laugh (except a couple people, perhaps).​

Anyway, so the Republican Party called me. I answered and said hello. A guy comes on the line. I said, "The ayes have it!" and then just like a good little Republican, I hung up on him before he could have his say.

FUNNY!!!

If you really want to make a difference on the ground and impact elections in the liberty movement, these conventions are an outstanding resource. I attended the YAL convention and the training we received there was nothing short of spectacular. The LPAC convention's training features many of the same political experts who came to YAL, so I can tell you first hand that this WILL improve your capacity to make a difference and I'd certainly recommend LPAC.

It's like this guy -

 

[Paulistinian]

I always tell them I'm not giving money because of their treatment of Ron Paul and his supporters and that I will not give money until those things change. I tell them I am donating directly to candidas that I agree with.

 

[CPUd]

Tell them if they're really hard up to go ask Sheldon Adelson. The only reason they're wanting money from the peasants is so they can say the peasants gave them money.

 

[hrdman2luv]

I had a good mind to tell the lady to have the RNC and/or Romney send me money. If they send me enough, I might consider voting for Romney.......

I'm not sure if any of you remember the Fred Samford episode, when the guy wanted to buy the table lamp. Fred told the guy "$5, but that's without the lightbulb".
The guy asked "Would you consider throwing in the light bulb?"

Fred said "Sure, I'll consider it..................................... Well, I've considered it. And the answer is "NO"........
