Publicity Stunts - Simple Things For Massive Publicity

[nocompromises]

The more people are talking about Ron Paul the better.

So, why can't Ron Paul do a few publicity stunts to attract more media attention?

For example...

- He could attend a medical lecture on medical marijuana in California, then visit a dispensary, and talk to some medical marijuana patents.

- He could fly to Afghanistan, visit a military base, thank the troops for their efforts, and tell him he will continue working to bring them back home to their families.

- He could use a small portion of the campaign's money to buy a little gold, and take it to the Federal Reserve and offer for them to put it into Fort Knox, because there is currently no gold in there.

- He could buy a copier machine and take it to Ben Bernanke, which prints out a new kind of dollar. On the front of the dollar it would say, "Fake Money backed by nothing." On the back it would say, "In the Federal Reserve we do not trust."

These are just a few ideas. You may have better ones.

I think enough of these type of actions could get us some major media attention.

My best friend and business partner is an officer in the army and a devoted Paulsonian. He will be deploying to Southern Afghanistan in a danger zone with 98 attacks on average per month. If Ron Paul showed up to tell those troops he is fighting for them back home, it would mean the world to the guys there. This part of southern Afghanistan looks like hell. I also believe that as an officer, perhaps my friend could represent the base to Ron. He is also a user here on the RonPaulForums, his name is army_officer. I would be willing to help lead an effort to raise the funds needed to send Ron there this August or September.

I think that is a good idea.

We need to research how to send Ron to Afghanistan.

I had an idea regarding sending Ron to Afghanistan... Perhaps someone can contact the people responsible for the July4th moneybomb and convince them to turn it into a project specific 4th of july bomb... the project, to send Ron to Afghanistan. Your thoughts?

Well those sure beat my idea of a Ron Paul flash mob

Ron Paul is among the best known candidates. He needs to be reassuring to Conservatives. He doesn't need to be doing publicity stunts. Meeting groups of voters in Iowa and New Hampshire is always a good idea.

NO. HELL NO. The whole marijuana/heroin crap is a fucking third rail. If and when we win the nomination, he can talk about MJ, he can do lines for all I care. We are trying to get the "value" vote now. The image we need to project is that of a wise WHITE wholesome leave it to beaver kind of guy, not the fucking pot smoker.

Now THAT is some good PR thinking right there.

Good move, will be completely misunderstood by the Obama is from Kenya crowd. The crowd that goes to the polls and votes.

- He could buy a copier machine and take it to Ben Bernanke, which prints out a new kind of dollar. On the front of the dollar it would say, "Fake Money backed by nothing." On the back it would say, "In the Federal Reserve we do not trust."

Or he could just pull his pants down and show his bare ass in the next debate. Trust me, that'll get them talking. Come on, man. We can't have him act like an ass.

I like the idea of a grassroots effort to send Ron Paul to talk to the troops in Afghanistan. it sends a powerful message to the MSM that the grassroots support had such a strong desire for Ron to visit the troops in Afghanistan that we independently raised the funds needed to send him there. Let's get to work on this, that is a winning idea.

Publicity stunts are too gimmicky.

The Afghanistan visit might be good, and/or perhaps a visit to tornado disaster areas like Joplin? With volunteers supports to help clean up?
