It is great idea. But three things have to happen before our spirits are again at the levels of the Tea Party:
1) We need to hear from Ron Paul, his honest assessment of where we are, what he will do to make difference in the upcoming primaries and what we need to do.
2) The professional campaign staff needs to be shaken up and new more effective crew, the best among the grassroots need to be brought in. The sabouteurs from NH, Alaska and other big disappointments need to be out. How can one expect us to pull the oars harder than ever, while the few weasels are busily drilling the holes in the ship. Not many are going to pull.
3) Grassroots vote monitoring needs to be organized for the remaining states, with local observer teams at the randomly selected locations (not known to anyone in advance), where they will count all Ron Paul votes as well as totals for the entire day of voting. The reason for this is the same as for #2 -- the doubt that votes have been and will be stolen again saps the morale as much as the treachery from within the campaign.
Once these steps (or something as dramatic and substantial) are taken, our spirit will rise again beyond what it was back in December 2007 and we can easily break the Tea Party donation record. One cannot keep doing the same and expect different outcome. We can't win elections by losing every encounter.
