Nov 5 2010 is Ron Paul 2012 Sign Waving Day

[AZ Libertarian]

If sign-waving is a waste of time WHY ARE THERE POLITICAL SIGNS ON EVERY CORNER IN AMERICA DURING ELECTION SEASON!?!

You dumbfuck control freaks wasting your time trying to tell other's what doesn't work and that they shouldn't do something to participate and let their OWN mind be heard are every bit as bad as the control freaks in power.

UNCONTROLLED GROUND-UP ACTIVISM is what got the Ron Paul R3VOLUTION as far as it is today, and changing horses in the first third of crossing the stream is a recipe for DISASTER!

Fear not Spiderman, the Phoenix R3VOLUTION is right there with you! WE WILL LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT WE ARE STILL HERE THE SAME WAY WE LET THEM KNOW WE WERE HERE TO BEGIN WITH, and ANYONE who gets in our way or tries to stop us will be steamrolled over flat by the stampede of people who KNOW WHO RON PAUL IS FROM THE LAST TIME WE BLITZED THEM!

Sign waving does not equal sign placement. Placing signs simply requires dropping them off, not standing there for hours wasting time when people could be doing other more important more effective things.

You dumbfuck control freaks wasting your time trying to tell other's what doesn't work and that they shouldn't do something to participate and let their OWN mind be heard are every bit as bad as the control freaks in power.

Your intellectual capacity is starting to show through.

Have you won any elections since RP '08? I've won two of them using solid methods.

If you want to win, you have to use proven ways to make that happen.

UNCONTROLLED GROUND-UP ACTIVISM is what got the Ron Paul R3VOLUTION as far as it is today,

How did that work out for us in the polls?

Ed, you are a superstar when it comes to activism.

Don't let a small minority of our forum enrage you. The grassroots activists here have worked on nothing but uncontrolled ground-up activism.

Also, please try and stay away from insults. Threads make a turn for the worse when insults are thrown around.

Matt, you're close to catching a ban.

I understand that sign-waving may not be the most efficient activism, but it's fun, it brings activists together, and it does work. Remember you are talking to volunteers.

Signwaving won't get us votes, but it could be a display to Ron Paul that he has the support out there, and should run.

That's what I thought too. Wave signs today, canvass the next day. Both positives.

If anyone would like me to pm them the personal contact info for national level political consultants, or public relations specialists... i can




Also, if you would like to talk to the leaders of the Ron Paul movement in THE ONLY COUNTY HE WON IN THE UNITED STATES, contact me...



Sign waving is not completely useless... but not for what we are talking about...

you better start looking at real precedented success, not your personal successes...


In fact, sign wave... spend your time and talent doing that... let's compare results.
It can't hurt to get more experience...

Why, if you're doing this on a weekday, in the first week of November, are you not planning for Election Day? If you want to influence likely voters, there is no better time and place than when and where they go to vote! Have signs, take coolers, play reasonably chosen music at a reasonable volume - have a great time, but have literature to hand out, and maybe even some sort of food handout to engage people.

Then get people to canvass that weekend, and the weekend after.

Haven't seen this mentioned: a lot of the people who supported Ron Paul in the last election didn't have internet access. The visibility of signs and even a sign wave caught on media will give them the heads-up. There should be some way of organizing to get print materials to these supporters.
Also, the person running the RP Meet-up here on Okinawa PCSed before the primaries. I'm not sure what to do to re-activate the Meet-up. Can it be done? How much does it cost? I heard $75 but that was then.

Why wait until Nov 5th?

From what I can tell, this sign waving is already becoming successful.

People like to sign wave. People are already starting to organize for this and there is coordination going on.

We have a few months between now and Nov. 5. As local groups start organizing for this, those organizations can be put to other uses.

With a list of people willing to go wave signs on Nov. 5, you can get the word out to that same list that we'll be doing exit polling on Nov. 2 and canvassing on Nov. 6.

Those that think that something else should be done should be the ones organizing for what they think should be done.

This November 5th Website

Since November 5th is an important day in the R3VOLUTION, I think it would be cool if Trevor Lyman used the brand equity of his domain, www.thisnovember5th.com to assist in the sign waving effort and all future November 5th efforts. Maybe have a pledge list, location postings, user submitted sign ideas, graphics, stencil printouts, etc.

Then the site can be used again year after year in support of the liberty movement so that everyone will remember the 5th of November. It would be cool to have the tradition, but its obviously up to him as he is the owner of the domain.

And to the discussion, I agree that a spontaneous sign waving day on November 5th is more of a message for Ron than it is to the voters. We make a show of strength for him to be inspired to run. He inspired us, we should inspire him.
