After discussing Anita possibly coming back in this thread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=84118 if HQ does not hire her back, perhaps us, the grassroots can hire her back?


For those who do not know Anita Andrews is a paid professional political consultant who had over a 90% success rate in every election she has run (according to her).

If the grassroots was going to hire her we would need to move fast.

Opinions?
 
Anita Andrews

I took her class and I thought she had an organized presentation and worth the time that I spent with her.

Basically, you have to be organized and actually go door to door rather than screaming on a corner with a Ron Paul sign in your hand.
 
Why did they get rid of her in the first place?
Not sure. My guess is that she probably pissed off some people at HQ by giving constructive criticism which they probably don't want to hear. But that is just an educated guess :rolleyes:
 
I am not familiar with Anita is so I am not going to offer a direct opinion on her. But I am curious just how the grassroots will be able to 'hire' anyone since we are decentralized and spread across the whole country.

HQ and Ron definitely need to bring on some new outside professionals...NOW.

I am talking about speech and debate coaches for Paul so that he can better articulate and condense his message and issues into attractive sound bites for the average joe American. I am not talking about changing the message in anyway I am talking about finding the most effective way for the message to appeal to the general public.

HQ needs new strategists that are not afraid to rock the boat and find a new direction for the campaign, because obviously after IA and NH what they had planned is obviously not working
 
My understanding was that those who attended the presentations were allowed to train others, provided that they signed her little NDA.

So why not just take the info, and get people in to the groups that need traning and get it done?

I wish I had the strategy... but unless people are able to share the info quickly and freely, there's no use hiring her again.
 
Why is everyone relying on the HQ to do everything? This IS a grassroots campaign.. that means we are responsible for getting the majority of the work done.

The most important thing is getting butts in the seats at the caucuses, and in the polls at the primaries. I don't know exactly how the delegate process works for primary states, but for caucus states we need to get as many of our people to the caucus to not only vote but get delegate seats.

The only way to win this is by having the majority of delegates at the national convention. Sign waving, waiting for HQ to handle it, bitching online, crying about voter fraud, etc.. that's not going to get results.

THE POPULAR VOTE DOESN'T MATTER!


Incidentally.. these training videos exist. Go to the HQ website, and sign up as a precinct leader.

Just want to remind you that the campaign bears a little more responsibility since they are now sitting on $20ish million

By the sounds of thing, her training was more inclusive and better organized than any of the available training vids.

Sure, but when you get down to it, it's the responsibility of his supporters to do what is necessary to get him elected.
 
Do you really need to pay someone to tell you to go canvass? Go here.

Aahh, the opponents love these threads (that is, if they aren't the ones starting them in the first place!!). It's not a new concept - divide and conquer.

Contrary to what you might think, I am not a troll, nor am I attempting to "divide" or "conquer" anyone. I am merely suggesting ideas.
