Ron Paul / Barry Goldwater Jr. makes ballot in Louisiana

[Sandra]

That Hurricane is bound to muddy up his travel plans, especially Galveston. He and half his district may be on generator power for a while.

He has a place to stay in Alexandria. Paul would be VIP for Sept. 20th.

The Press release was sent to every LA newspaper, radio station, and tv station. I decided not to send it to national media until we know for sure if Paul is going to ask to have his name removed.

He asked for his name to be removed in Montana--and he may ask us. If he asks us, we'll have to have a frank discussion about it.

He won't ask us, because we didn't replace the CP nominee on the CP ticket.
I think Baldwin asked him to do something about MT.
And out of respect for Baldwin he asked for it to be removed.

I doubt Baldwin asked him too,but he probably did it hoping they'd put Baldwein back on the ballot anyway.

Did you send it to the Denham Springs News? some there are RP friendly.

Got an estimate on larger yard signs-
2'x4'- 250/ w stakes - $6750

I'm trying to contact another dealer, locally, who makes short orders, and smaller signs.

usually local paper's don't put their articles online until way after delivery.
some of them should show up on google in they run them.

I just sent the press releases out Friday morning---so noone will have printed them or put them online until Sunday/Monday.

I must admit, I'm very pumped about this meeting.
I have no certain expectations, but I do know that there will be an allstar team of activist assembled.
And if we keep it simple... its about the constitutional republic and its revival... we can build a coalition than can compete on any level.
Add in the tools we are about to recieve from the CFL, and I promise you, Louisiana will be leading the way!

torch,

Keep in mind that we will have people from the GOP, CP, LP, and others--so we should concentrate on what to do with this specific ticket.

However, I think AFTER that meeting, we should have a meeting of GOP people (or people who are thiking of going GOP) to talk about the Campaign for Liberty and such. I personally want to suggest a strategy to Draft Goldwater Jr. or Gov. Gary Johnson into running for President in 2012.

I'm not going to segregate people by party. In fact, I'm thinking, such definitions only serve to hinder.
Everyone should hear about the campaign for liberty. The program isn't just for the GOP. It is made to take back our government.
You can use the program to support any constitutional candidate, regardless of party tag ID.
I'm for us being declared americans and patriots above all other labels.
Not everyone has to participate, but the option should be open for all.

Torch,

I agree. Just be sure to make the etymology of the discussion very vague. I.e., no saying things like, "Take back the GOP" or "work at the precinct level to take over our local GOP".

you get it.

An email I just recieved:

Our time has come ladies and gentlemen; the Powers That Be Tried to Stop the Revolution by screwing us over during the Louisiana Caucus, and while many, including myself, lost hope after the Primaries; the Drums of Revolution still tapped in my heart and soul.



I thought that Bob Barr was the right man to carry Ron Paulʼs torch; I was wrong, but here in Louisiana we will have that man to vote for come this November, and that man is Ron Paul.



While he never asked to be put on the ballot by the Louisiana Tax Payers; Trent Hill and Co. did it anyways, and now I know why..



Yes, this campaign wonʼt win Ron Paul the White House or even the State Electoral Votes, but what it can and will do is fan the flames of Revolution.



We have the chance to make The Pelican State the crossroads for the whole country as the place where this Revolution we started over a year ago found its second wind.



Hereʼs my vision; Ron Paul Supporters, Libertarians, Independents, and Lovers of Freedom and Liberty coming to Louisiana from across the Republic. Masses of Freedom-Loving Americans in the streets of Shreveport-Bossier, Ruston, Monroe, Alexandria, Lake Charles, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans up until election; showing that Two-Headed Beast that runs our country, the Main-Stream Media, and the Elite that we arenʼt afraid of them, and weʼll stand up to them, and defeat them.



We need to all become Viral Paul Reveres; go to every Ron Paul/C4L/Libertarian/Independent Meetup Groups, and Message Boards all over the World Wide Web and call for reinforcements to come to Louisiana from all four corners of the US without delay. The time for Revolution has come, and I can think of no better place for civil disobedience and open rebellion than in the Great State of Louisiana!



Viva Revolution,

James W. Burns

NWLA Region Representative
