Time for tough love.
I'm sending the following message to you all not as a staffer for B.J. (and I do NOT speak for the campaign when I say this), but as someone who has paid a tremendous cost over the last year- financial, physical, and personal- in the campaign for liberty.
My thanks to everyone who has donated today and who has worked so hard for this. You all have been tremendous and so gracious, and we can't express enough just how much you all mean to us.
To the rest of you in the Ron Paul community, I'm SORELY disappointed in you. We've got a TREMENDOUS Ron Paul Republican candidate running. It's not even close. Just seeing our
website or watching his
YouTube videos makes it READILY apparent that he's far and away the best candidate and has the best and most professional campaign. The fact that we have actually DESTROYED OUR OPPONENT in an election should confirm this for you.
We've got 40 student interns- libertarians, Republicans, and Democrats all- who are working their butts off for this campaign without pay simply because they love the message and the candidate. You think Steven Vasquez or Peter James have this? You think Murray Sabrin had this? No way in hell. We have volunteers from around the country who have worked- also without pay- very hard to pressure major blogs to make postings and to work social networks to spread the word. And this is how you repay them for their efforts? This is how you pay tribute to how great of a job B.J. has done in bringing the message of liberty to this district and inspiring people to join the campaign? You might as well have spit in all of their faces with your actions- or should I say, inactions?- today.
I've increasing come to the conclusion that most of you aren't seriously interested in reclaiming liberty. Some of this group are just a social club who would prefer to just sit around and whine and bitch about how the world is collapsing or about how the evil puppetmasters at the CFR and Trilateral Commission are trying to turn us into human sacrifices at their Bohemian Grove rituals (or whatever else crazy batshit insane ideas that you guys have) instead of actually DOING something about what's wrong with the world. Others of you are just a bunch of sick personality cult adherents, and in this respect, you're no better than Obama supporters.
Want to prove me wrong? Then start donating some freaking money to the campaign, pass the word around online about the candidate and the situation, and help us get $70,000 by midnight Monday night. If everyone on the Campaign for Liberty mailing list donated ONE DOLLAR, with some donating a little more, we could hit this mark. If everyone who regularly comes her donated $100, we'd blow it away. This is really such a steep price to pay to send a true shockwave across the political system? This is what would happen if B.J. was to beat David Price, a long-term Democratic incumbent in a Democratic year, in this election. We're getting lots of Democrats saying that they will support us over Price. But we need a to send a shock wave through a very media-founded district, and to do this, we MUST hit the $100,000 cash on hand mark. It MUST happen. And we MUST raise $500,000 over the next three months.
Just for reference, the point he needs to hit is the $228,000 mark on the ticker. No excuses; just get it done.
