We need to back our investment in money bombs with other efforts that will enable us to actually WIN state primaries. Screw the straw polls compared to WINNING state primaries.
We need EVERY RP supporter on board with the name, address and phone numbers of EVERY radio station, news paper,TV station and website where there is political discussion about the upcoming primary in that state. We need to give the impression that there are a lot of Ron Paul supporters out there because of the herd mentality. People naturally gravitate to the same path others take. Thats why advertisements say things like "7 out of 10 people prefer such and such a product" and "#1 selling brand in America".
Wanna stretch our dollars? Well then back them up with intelligent, calls into radio stations that are talking about politics. Write into the news papers. Log onto TV website discussion forums. Go into EVERY debate forum and make good arguments whether foreign policy, economic, or liberty.
We do it really well with straw polls, and now we need to do it in EVERY other forum imaginable.
Look the media hacks, pundits, and politicians regularly marginalize us, discredit us, lie about us and they have their way because we're not there to defend ourselves or set them straight. Then we encounter those who say the most ridiculous things about Ron Paul like "he's an isolationist" or "he's crazy" or "he can't win".
Those outlets I am talking about reach millions of people around the country and are used against us every day. We can raise all the money in the world but not one cent of it will go to good use if we have to undo lies and propaganda before we can make them understand our real positions first.
We also need to find ways to get people on the ground in states that have primaries coming up to canvas the streets colleges etc. Our money bomb dollars will be well spent on covering the costs of people who are willing to go out to those states and WORK on handing out slimjims, putting up signs and going door to door who otherwise couldn't do it for lack of funds.
So I suggest that we keep up with money bombs and keep working the straw polls but to enhance our efforts we really need to organize an effort to counter the power of the media and use it to our advantage. Otherwise our money will be wasted and we won't win a single primary
