***Operation Write-In Ron Paul!! ***

[TwiLeXia]

How many states are like mine, where you can't write anyone in? I won't vote for anyone but Ron Paul!

I'm pretty sure every state allows some sort of write-in, whether it's by a sticker or fill-in-the-blank.

The whole point is to direct everyone to write him in, basically starting a national movement. This can be done if we truly believe in the message and spread it with the same enthusiasm and energy that we have the last few months.

Advertise as; A new way to vote for the right person in November. They slandered then ignored Ron Paul in the media so you would not find out about him or vote for him. We mean to correct this situation.

We need to have specific advertising for this operation, educating people about how to do it. Perhaps we could have a money bomb to something like the blimp site to pay for national ads and get Ron on every ballet under our control.

 

[speciallyblend]

write in would be the best,would have to adjust the ads depending on state, some states we could get him on ballots and then some states use the write in option,THIS COULD BE DONE ,especially everyone here and hopefully the PAUL HQ backing it up,since its our money we sent,this is the only option other then not voting...

[Kacela]

In Connecticut, we're allowed to write-in a candidate as long as they've registered with the Secretary of State by filling out this simple form: http://www.sots.ct.gov/ElectionsServices/electforms/ED622PresWrite-inAppl2008.pdf
So if it comes to that, He has until October 2008...

 

[kgiese]

How do they know which Ron Paul?

Do we need his SSN?

 

[TwiLeXia]

Do we need his SSN?

There's another Ron Paul running? Lol XD

If he is not a qualified write in candidate in your state he will not count anyway.

Futhermore as a write in candidate they do not read those names off. So as a write in you will not make a difference.

Admin please delete this thread it is illogical nonsense. Now that we buried a third party run we have to contend with lunitics trying to get supporters to throw away their vote.

Other freedom minded candidates are running for President that could use your vote instead of throwing it away. Thats like voting for your cat.

 

[Mike in CT]

It'd be better if RP were on the ballot. Is there any hope for a third party to put RP on their ballot even if RP doesn't seek as much? One thing's for sure: I will not vote for McCain.

 

[PC_for_Paul]

Spread the message to everyone you know. Let's write in Ron Paul.

If you have friends or family who simply don't care about politics, just tell them to do you a favor and write him in. It takes 2 minutes. Treat them to dinner or something.

If all of us Ron Paul supporters did this, we'd do pretty damn well.

Some of my friends supported candidates who have since dropped out. I am going to ask them to write-in Ron Paul. Most of them agree with his policies. They don't really care about politics, but they are definitely willing to fill out a simple ballot.

We have 9 months until Nov. 4. That's plenty of time. In the three months after Nov. 5 we were able to get a ton of new people. Now we have three times that.

There's no reason we shouldn't try!

Let's write Dr. Ron Paul to be our next President. No money or ads are necessary. Just word-of-mouth, from us Ron Paul supporters to ask our friends and family to do a simple thing. The revolution will continue. Who's with me?

writeinronpaul.com is taken

we can have writeinrp.com
writeinron.info?

I think we should wait to see who the libertarian and constitution candidates will be.

I love your attitude. You're saying our vote won't be thrown away if we vote for the libertarian candidate for president?

And don't say that it is tradition to ignore write-ins, because if that is true then this system truly is screwed. Write-ins is the equivalent of a third-party run, if they don't count write-ins, they aren't going to count third-party runs. So you are being hypocritical by supporting a "freedom-minded candidate" rather than writing in Ron Paul simply based on the assumption that they don't count write-ins.

I happen to believe they do count write-in votes as well as third-party campaigns. If you look at history, they have been counted in the past. Even the idea that they are not counted, or not supposed to be counted, is inherently wrong and illegal.

I agree of course that it'd be best for RP to be on the ballot. But without a third-party run that is 99% impossible at this point. So why not try and put all of our efforts into a write-in.

Honestly, if we start a national movement to write-in Ron Paul, it'll just show that the people are taking back politics rather than the two-party system. It will be historic. They can't ignore it, and they won't be able to discriminate against Ron Paul, knowing that the entire America will be against them if news comes out that they intentionally miscounted. Heck, they might even put him on the ballot simply based on the tremendous support he has.

Do you still believe in the revolution? Do you still believe that Dr. Paul's ideas is able to unify and convert not 10%, not 20%, not even 50% but how about 100% of the entire United States? I mean what the heck. SHEEP HAVE AND WILL WAKE UP if we put the effort into it! The message is there. The only roadblock is the crap system of two-party politics.

I want to reiterate: I am NOT saying, drop everything you are doing, and just plan to write Dr. Paul in November. I am saying CONTINUE with the revolution and create a national movement to make our dream come true! I encourage the admins to not delete this thread, because if ideas can't even be discussed without people calling each other trolls and fearing that somehow ONE idea is going to destroy the forum then we don't even have a democracy here. It's more like, Nazism. Or Russia, where any idea that is not agreed with is censored.

writeinronpaul.com is taken

we can have writeinrp.com
writeinron.info?

Yea, writeinronpaul.com would have been nice but the page is too hard to read and too messy.

We need a simple, pleasant-looking page that states:

"I pledge to write-in Ron Paul" (add email) and
"I pledge to write-in Ron Paul, as well as work my hardest to get ALL my friends and family and people I know to write-in Ron Paul with me." (add email)

Then perhaps we could have several links to this forum, ronpaul2008, a chart showing the # of pledges, and perhaps a page discussing strategies to convert others to believing that writing-in Ron Paul is NOT a waste and is NOT impossible.

 

[Mike in CT]

TwiLeXia,

The write-in thing is hopeless unless RP agrees to cooperate (in my state of Connecticut for example) which I doubt he will do, given his recent letter. If you feel this strongly about it, perhaps a better approach is to create a non-RP affiliated "Draft Ron Paul Party" whose only purpose for existence is to put RP on the ballot in the 50 states. Heck, I'm surprised no one is trying to do that right now.

Question...

How exactly do you 'write-in' a candidate? Where I vote in CA you just punch a little dot like the SAT next the whatever candidate you choose. Do you have to request a write in ballot?

 

[josephadel_3]

The problem witht this is that some people will refuse to write him in and vote for a Libertarian. We will be divided on this issue and it won't have a big enough impact. I will still write him in, but honestly it's just a matter of principle if it gets to that point, which it probably will.

Ron Paul has made his will known: "There will be no third party run." Dr. Paul wants to work within the Republican party.

Nevertheless, I don't think there's anything formally stopping the Constitution Party from putting Dr. Paul on the ballot if they so want. Dr. Paul can truthfully state that he did not request this action, and the American people will have a real choice in November. Seems like a win-win situation. What do you all think?

 

[Madison]

I will vote for Ron Paul in November. End of story.

 

[Mike in CT]

According to Wikipedia, the Constitution Party (under differing names in some states) is on the ballot in only sixteen states. So, even if the Constitution Party did draft Ron Paul for their ballot, it would not be a nation-wide option. There has to be a better way!
