Penn Jillette, John Mayer, and More ENDORSEMENT Bomb

Has anyone mentioned Kina Grannis? Although she thinks Ron is a "senator", she obviously "diggs" him!

 
I just talked with Chris Douglas-Roberts a bit over twitter. I think we can sway him. Add him to the list.

I think Joe Rogan is a big Ron Paul fan as well. And there's the bonus
that he has his own podcast where he talks about whatever the hell
he wants for 2 hours.

Joe is a particularly key celebrity. He is very hardcore in the libertarian direction. I think we already have more than enough support from him, but nonetheless, he is quite an influential figure amongst young people. Penn Jillette and Drew Carey are 2 huge ones and even though both (especially Penn) put forward an array of pro-libertarian commentary, I think they miss the mark on the key audiences. Joe pulls in young folk who are either drug users or quite liberal socially, many of whom I stereotype as not giving a damn about the system. With Joe pushing Ron, many of these unheard voices could be broken from their apathy.
 
The debate is May 5th.
This would be an awesome addition to the money bomb--> the best kind of free press: ENDORSEMENTS.

During/after the debate, we send e-mails to anyone who is likely to endorse Ron and/or has a lot of influence.

I'll edit this post and post an updated list at the end of the thread if you guys add anyone--unless someone beats me to it.

HOW TWITTER WORKS:
If you don't yet have a twitter: Sign up, follow people by clicking the above links, then click messages at the top of any twitter page, and type their name to message them.

Short, Simple, and Specific:
Our messages should be short and simple (they'll get lots messages), but most importantly,
BE SPECIFIC- Don't send the same e-mail to the same person. Tailor it for the person you're sending it to.

Motivate them to do more than just endorse Ron Paul on twitter. Get on the news, speak about why you're voting for Ron Paul! Change is possible in 2012! We just have to work together and put in the manpower.

Ok, I am writing this letter as we speak. Anything I should include in it?

I'll post it and we can pick it apart and make it better and then start to send it out!
 
It's a little long and wordy. What does everybody think?

Massive across-the-board debt, expanding bureaucracy, head-scratching foreign policy decisions, declining principles, questionable ethics, and a greedy, do-anything-for-votes mindset: current American politics is as toxic as ever. Politicians have furthered the already dwindling perception of the United States on the world scale, defaming the mystique of the once glorious United States of America. But for the past forty years, one man has distinguished himself from the rest. One man has been the pillar of political consistency, the champion of the Constitution, and the most responsible public official our country has to offer. Texas Congressman Ron Paul is the text-book definition of a leader. This political non-conformist is the mouthpiece of a growing faction of Americans determined not to repeat political and economic mistakes, be responsible for our actions, and succeed on principal. In times of political turbulence like this, it is imperative to listen to a highly intelligent, passionate, and influential leader. Ron Paul has inspired millions of Americans to challenge the status quo, not only through bold political action and ideas, but through uncompromising principals as well. Because of this, and your past as an outspoken critic of the political Establishment, we call on you to publically endorse Dr. Ron Paul for President of the United States in 2012.

The list of problems within the United States is almost growing as fast as the national debt. One politician seems to carry rational solutions, and has been for some time. Since his first Congressional term in 1976, Ron Paul has been heading the fight to lessen government, cut taxes, and bring back the Constitution to the forefront of politics. Ron Paul has essentially been supporting the same ideas since the 70’s; asserting his Libertarian values into the predominantly two party dominated House of Representatives. Prophetically, Mr. Paul warned the public about the dangers of a fiat currency not backed by gold. His prediction of the US economy were, and still continue to be, eerily dead on. His speeches on the House floor tried to show Americans the dangers of running dangerous budgets and policing the world. But after the thousands of disparaging comments, the endless attempts to belittle the controversial ideas, the refusals to be allowed into the Presidential debates in 2007, Ron Paul is still extremely relevant in American politics today. That exact truth is what makes Congressman Paul such an inspiring man, and provides the basis for his vast influence of young people. Overall, Ron Paul is a model husband, father, government employee, citizen, and person. He represents a classic “good” guy who refuses to be a product of his volatile environment filled with greedy and unethical cohorts.

A nation is only as strong as its leaders and its future only as bright as the potential of its youth. But with leaders as weak-minded as the ones that head the Cabinet and Congress today, the United States continues to further its dip into the lonely, hated, debt-ridden abyss. The United States needs Dr. Ron Paul. We ask you to please publically show your support for Dr. Ron Paul in the 2012 Presidential Election. Every new Ron Paul supporter helps, but someone of your stature only helps the cause more! Thank you for all you do, and we hope to see you supporting for Ron Paul in this upcoming election.

Thank you,
The Grassroots supports of Dr. Ron Paul

My $.02

I was thinking we should make them specific to each person with little sayings or quirks.

For example, drinkingwithbob's letter would be like, "What's next? I'll tell you what's next: Ron Paul."

Don't forget to ask for a 10-30 second video clip of the endorsement, so we can make a complitation.

For people whose positions we know (anti-war, anti-TSA, anti-Fed), we should copy and paste some facts about Ron Paul's strong dedicated stance on those issues. Include YouTube videos if you want.

For the long shots who aren't normally active in politics, we could point out Ron Paul's integrity and honesty.

Point out to everyone the importance of standing up, making a chance, and endorsing Dr. Paul.

Thank the people who have endorsed him before.

Remember keep it simple. If you want to say multiple things, maybe it's a good idea to just say one, and post the other thoughts here, so someone else can use them.

Any other ideas?

I like it. Very well done. But I think it'd be cool if we sent out a variety of different e-mails. And maybe tailored them a little more to the people we send them to. We still have 2 days to work on this.

Like a sentence or two in the first paragraph specific to that person? Yeah, I think that totally works! It will seem more genuine and personal
 
Great text, BUT i miss the civil liberties / police state issue a little bit.
A lot of the receipients are artists. They will like this topic very much...
 
Marc Faber might be worthwhile approaching too,I would think. www.gloomboomdoom.com
Alex Jones must know a lot of people.Jesse Ventura,Willie Nelson (The Nightlife is close to my favourite song,too).

Glad you guys are working hard and full of enthusiasm but getting a bunch of endorsements from c listers is a waste of time. Hell, just about any "endorsement" is worthless.
