RP Supporters buy CD of Kelly Clarkson to show their support

[european]

This movement continues to amaze me. When I think I have seen it all, I see a type of activisme I haven´t seen before.
What happened? Kelly Clarkson endorses dr Paul, then she get hatetweets, and Paul supporters go buy her album to show their gratidute of and support for Kelly Clarkson.

Read the comments on Amazon for instance:

"I have always liked Kelly Clarkson but never owned a cd of hers. I probably wouldnt have bought this except for the fact that she is taking a lot of flak for endorsing Ron Paul. I want to show some support. I know I'm not the only one grateful for anyone willing to take some heat for caring about the fate of our wonderful country that has fallen into the hands of madmen. Thanks Kelly."

"just bought her album. love it! She has great originality and the songs are catchy. Ron Paul 2012!! Go girl! "

"Just bought it. You go girl, for speaking your mind and the truth. Keep it up. Thank you for supporting Ron Paul!!
Here comes the RP Army."

"Thank you Kelly for supporting Ron Paul, we've got your back!! Don't let the media get you down, be true to yourself and your beliefs."

Although I do agree with both of you, I do believe that showing support to public figures help. It is the thinking of a nation that has to be changed. That's why this is more of a movement then just a political campaign. It is truly a revolution that is happening, and if this can be done without bloodshed it is an unique happening and the American people can be very proud of themselves. But for this to be able to happen, I think, a broad base of support in all walks of like is needed.

I can only assume these are people not connected to this board, or else they'd be donating their extra cash to the campaign or RevPAC.

Ha Ha!! It's nice to see someone with a brain around here and a join date of 2007 to boot. Double Rep +.....if I could

Already did that; it isn't going to hurt for me to pick up 3 or 4 Clarkson albums too!

excuse me, but WHEN CAMPAIGN DOES WELL the endorsements will come whatever you buy her cd´s or not...

Key thing is that the campaign is doing well...

 

[Miguel]

It Will be a BIG DEAL!!! If her sound scan numbers move UP! Think of it as mass advertising on the cheap!

+rep. Kelly is being made an example of, so we have to make an example right back that we'll support her. This is similar to what happened to the Dixie Chicks in the early days of the Iraq war, which definitely affected celebrities coming forward against the war for some time thereafter.

In short, this is an important front, and a lot bigger than one pop star. We have to show that we know how to fight back everywhere.

Simply getting Paul elected isn't going to change anything.

People buying her album because they think it is the right thing to do isn't the grand negative you make it out to be. Perhaps you should stop being so pretentious and show the same good faith that everyone of us is showing towards Kelly Clarkson.

when it comes to buying Kelly Clarksons CD´s, i bet she would rather like to see Ron Paul get elected than her cd sales rise...i think she´s trying to get more support for Ron not for herself...

who needs money more campaign or kelly ? I bet Kelly would say the campaign and would like the money to go to the campaign to get the man she endorsed to get actually elected...

i think most of you miss the whole point of endorsing...


getting Ron Paul elected will change a lot cause people like to get re-elected...

 

[ronpaulyourmom]

Her endorsement made the front page of yahoo, the LA times, the wash post, etc... Mentioned in these articles was the backlash against her. It's entirely possible there will be follow up articles if there's a positive response from RP supporters. It's entirely possible that there wont be too. What I do know is showing her a little love is a good thing, and helping her keep her backbone on the issue can pay off in so far as 1. she's less likely to retract her support and 2. she could help in taking the movement mainstream down the road.

Look I'm not saying we should be throwing millions of dollars at her, but lets not underestimate the importance of free/cheap media coverage.

Maybe because we're free and creative human beings.

Maybe because our lives don't belong to the campaign.

Maybe because we are more than machines robocalling Iowa every waking minute.

Maybe because the people who come onto every thread that disparage anything other than calling Iowa or donating to the campaign create a toxic environment that makes activism for Ron seem a lot less fun.

Maybe a small part of the reason the Daily Paul gets more traffic than the Ron Paul Forums is because it is a little less toxic in that regard. Just a guess.

Maybe because we can not control 100% that he gets elected, but we can make a positive difference in every aspect of this culture.

Maybe because this battle is much bigger than one campaign. It is bigger than just politics. 2007/2008 was an electoral failure, but easily the most important campaign in decades from the standpoint of real change.

Maybe because we know that getting him elected, but not knowing how to fight a cultural and political war on every front could turn his Presidency into a disaster...a disaster that would set back libertarianism several decades. You of course know that Ron's policies would likely make things noticeably worse before they get better? That is one of the biggest battles ahead. Are you going to have a phone from home campaign to the newly unemployed?

And what´s the reason for giving the money for Kelly instead of Ron ?

 

[mysticgeek]

Yeah, save your $10-15 for the CD or download and donate directly to the campaign. It's cool she is making headlines, but she really needs to stick up for herself. She has the REVOLUTION behind her!

 

[brenton]

some of you guys are way over the top. you come out like rabid animals when people spend their time or resources promoting ron paul/the liberty movement in their own way. if people want to buy her cd to show her support, who are you to demand they give it to the campaign instead? do you honestly think ron paul would be as annoying as you guys are about how we need to spend our time/resources? are we libertarians or authoritarians? lol.

supporting those who support ron paul is never a bad idea.

you miss the point.. ofcourse people should spend their money how they want to BUT!

WHY DID KELLY ENDORSE ? CAUSE OF SHE´S RECORD SALES OR CAUSE SHE WANTS TO GET RON PAUL ELECTED ?

i think the last one, so i think Kelly would be also happier if the campaign gets the money...

You can also VOICE your support to her, i have done it several times on fb allready...






I rest my case, let´s boost Kelly record sales rather than finish the moneybomb for the campaign!

 

[brenton]

i'm afraid you miss the point. you're nagging people to not do this, it's a big turn off.
