Ron Pauls across America: Candidates that need our support.

[empirenine]

I read on a referring thread that a web-guru was needed. I'd be happy to offer my services to help how I can.

Not sure if I can donate my time to a specific candidate legally, but I can come close probably. I read that the RP campaign had to pay for their website rather than receiving it free.

You can donate your service at value... its called "in-kind" contribution, but i think you are still limited by the $2300. after that value mark, you'd have to charge and could no longer donate cash... check with the FEC site to confirm this, it may have changed.

Ok cool, good to know that.

I'll be on call for anyone in need.

I got in contact with Kilgore. He said he was interested and to keep him informed. Ill try and contact Turbolizard next.

Hutchison is way worse than Cornyn but could be harder to beat also - in either case drop me an email and I'll link you up with some key people in Texas

 

[scrosnoe]

i'm getting excited just thinking about it - filing deadlines are in December in most states - lets go (same offer to link you up with some keys in texas!

 

[scrosnoe]

I concur!

An Idea, A Suggestion, and A Question

would love to see a long list of candidates filing and running and endorsing RP intermingled with officials already in office who support RP - it may not be many now but we should be calling them and encouraging them to help us and welcoming them onboard and doing press releases as we get them onboard

i am working on a project in ok to have several people call elected officials in their area and ask them to help with the RP campaign / you may say this is a waste of time they won't do it, but you would be wrong, because what it does is let them know how big the base of support for RP is and they don' t want to make anyone mad, so it neutralizes their endorsement for someone else / and we will find a few that may actually get on board with us reasonably early

could anyone advise me on the status of coburn and rohrbacher as far as having been personally approached by RP or the campaign?

I'm still looking for more help getting my congressional campaign off the ground, needed most are donations. if i can't meet certain benchmarks, i won't be able to create a campaign for 2008. PM me if you are interested in helping! Thxs.

I appreceiate what you are doing Torchbearer...How can we locate RP type Candindates in California to support them....

Maybe we need to form a sub-Party to the Rebublican PArty....Then we would be very easily identiiable.....probably the Libertarian Party would be a good start - fold them into Repbulican Party..

 

[torchbearer]

The same person helping me with my campaign website is looking into setting up another website that can help everyone find the ron paul in their area. just give us some time, and a lot of good things will spin off of my campaign and staff!

I'm running as a "Ron Paul Republican" that is my sub-party.

 

[ghemminger]

Very Cool

The Libertarian Party has no wish to be folded into the Republican Party.

Looking good. If I lived in your state, I'd vote for you. What party are you running under?

As long as Ron Paul is in the race, I will be running as a "ron paul" republican. if he drops out or switches to another party, i will run as a libertarain.

The main reason I'm running is to Promote Ron Paul and his message.
I lost my job the last time I ran for congress, i take critism and hate mail for my Ron Paul message, this is not an easy thing to do (not that i want to scare others away from doing it). this is the most patriotic way I can support ron paul...

I don't want to take donations away from Ron Paul, but those people who have maxed out their donations can help Ron Paul's cause by supporting constitutionalist who are running for congress. Ron Paul will need support in congress to get things done. I think it makes sense to promote the idea of people like us to run for congress and to have list like these so people can find candidates in there area to help out in the cause for freedom. IMO.

I've got experience and a good record. I can do a lot for Ron Paul in 2008 by running for congress. In fact, it wasn't my idea, but others on the forum that convinced me this would be a prudent action to take in the coming months.

I'm glad you're running, and we need more freedom-minded individuals to do so. I have a question for everyone: can we compile a list of books (perhaps in the wiki, as well) that would help prep us to run for office? I'm not talking about 'campaigning for dummies' or anything, I'm talking stuff to back our positions, to fill ourselves with essential knowledge?

I'd like to know some of the BEST libertarian-style (Ron Paul-like, that is) books on:

Economics/Free Market Theory (preferably READABLE, not a bunch of jargon)
The effects of bad policy (not referring solely to blowback; I want to read a book on how socialism destroyed Russia)
Anything To Lock In Constitutional Knowledge
Books arguing against globalism (I know a lot about the NAU, but I'd like to be able to convince the average person easily that globalism in its current form is terrible)
Well-laid out anti-fiat currency/Federal Reserve books
History of the Military-Industrial Complex
Any other relevant history

Did I miss any crucial categories to be well-studied on?

 

[torchbearer]

Those are good books... I also recommend reading all works written by Ron Paul.
