Dear Staff Members,

We at the Ron Paul Forum applaud you for your tireless efforts in this campaign. That being said, a number of us want to do more and feel as though we are being severely underutilized by the official campaign. A number of people have posted comments regarding errors in official press releases (ex. the Nevada Rally) as well as the failure to exploit media opportunities (ex. the Philadelphia Rally), the fault of which is better left undirected.

I offer you two main suggestions, which I am sure will be followed shortly by many other people's suggestions:

1) Always post official press releases and/or anything which will be seen by the public on the forum, and ask for input before submitting them. They can be corrected (if errors are present), and their wording could potentially be enhanced. This also applies to any upcoming events. Please submit a checklist of what details have been looked after, so that we can see if anything has been overlooked for the event.

2) Perhaps more importantly, make it someone's full-time position to look after suggestion 1, and to troll the forum for ideas (particularly under the "Official Campaign" and "Grassroots" sections) in order to gain more insight into what could be improved, as well as what people's great ideas are. You have the master e-mail list and are more capable of forwarding these ideas to everyone, even people who are not on the forum. Please send an e-mail at least every 4-5 days to keep everyone posted on upcoming events as well as great ideas from the grassroots campaign.

I hope that you do not take offense to my suggestions, and please rest assured that we only want the best for Dr. Ron Paul and his campaign. I have never been as passionate about politics as I am about Dr. Paul's campaign, and I don't want to see our country's last hope trampled by anyone. This is more than a campaign, it is, quite literally, a revolution!

Restore the Republic!

P.S. I do give you kudos for e-mailing us about the need for funds now, not in 1 month (12/16). In regards to this, please immediately fix the glitch that has not been allowing ex-patriots living abroad to donate to the campaign, and please invest to make sure that the site can handle the traffic that is coming on December 16th.
 
Let's keep the grassroots and campaign as separate as possible. We don't want to get people like llepard in any legal trouble.
 
The campaign needs to stay out of the grassroots efforts which it has done so far.

You have only one post and neither I nor the forums know you. Sorry if this seems a bit brash, but please don't email the campaign representing the forums.

Sorry that I have never posted before, but I only heard about the Good Doctor less than a month ago. I have been disgusted with "politics as usual" and just recently found my voice. I am currently out of the country studying and have no other way of helping Dr. Paul other than the internet and the phone. I was not trying to represent the whole board, just the comments of a number of people...I'm sorry if it came off that way.

Regarding my post/thread.
It is not my intention to cause any entanglement between the Official and Grassroots campaigns, but rather to let the Grassroots do "it's thing" while helping to bolster the Official campaign whenever possible. As we all know, may minds are greater than one.

Restore the Republic!
 
I think your idea is fantastic, but as to what others have been saying, we certainly don't want any legal trouble occurring because of coordination between the official campaign and the grassroots campaign.
 
Simply checking press releases with the people in the area on the ground is common sense. What we've seen is not.

It's a good suggestion. It is a positive suggestion. No matter how many posts you have it should be followed. If one person is responsible for these things, then that person need to get them right. For all of our sakes. RP isn't the only one in this fight.
