So The Attacks on RP begin

we'll continue doing what work. They'll spin it negatively no matter what we do so forget about them. We'll play the medias but not take their recommendations for becoming unactive.

Exactly. Don't fight what you can't change. Win the battles that count.

OK, I've just read three threads about the V contribution drive. I am a very socially conservative guy in my 50s, to give you my perspective.

Younger Ron Paul supporters, identifying with themes in the V movie about throwing off an oppressive government, organized a November 5 fundraising day. Big deal. Nobody is talking about overthrowing the government. Guy Fawkes is also considered to be a hero by law-abiding Brits. The fundraising drive is symbolic and romantic.

Thanks for the perspective.

ugh

Ok, I hate to say this, but don't say that many of us here didn't say that the Nov. 5th idea was a BAD idea. This is only the beginning of the attacks on RP over this particular fundraising push.

Damn it, I knew this would happen..Some of these kids, although well intended just don't understand politics. These fund raisers need to be really carefully organized. why didn't anyone from these forums tell them to rethink this in a more forceful way. We should also be on guard for people that want to do us more harm then good, or to distract from positive messages. Fund raising efforts should only be in direct alignment with the "MESSAGE" Also, some people might not have liked the movie. Some might have hated it. These items need to be really thought out otherwise we are just causing ourselves more harm.
