Let Ron take the initiative. He will let us know if he wants to run third party.

It was the supporters who talked Ron into this primary race, so it's the supporters who need to talk him into an iNDY run.

People, please email the campaign and tell them we want Ron running in the general election!

Quote of the day.

Ron knows we will support him no matter what.

This is the way forward, not the folly of an independent run.

For shit's sake. Just support Ron Paul. It doesn't matter wtf he is. Just support the man!

 

[wstrucke]

there are 20 states left. Dr. Paul has been fighting this battle his entire life and you're giving up after a few months. let's see what happens and trust him to make the right choice.

Not giving up, moving to the next logical battleground.

You guys need to wake up and understand that the republican nomination was decided on Feb 5th, just go look at the delegate numbers. Romney "suspending" his campaign only solidifies this point.

I say. You guys are not in line with what the campaign officially wants. Mods?

But they just handed it to McCain. There won't be any more debates, there won't be any coverage for anyone but him. If you think the media blackout was bad now, imagine how bad it will be in those states:

"The Republican primary tonight is being held tonight in (insert state). But it is largely a formality because John McCain is the only candidate running."

What is wrong with calling/emailing HQ to let them know that we back Dr. Paul no matter what his decision is?

I just pledged at http://www.ronpaulwhitehouse.com/

I think one overlooked aspect of this whole "Should we even be talking about an Indy run" debate is:

1) Emails, calls and requests are what originally convinced Dr. P to run for President
2) RP himself said at the Florida debate, when asked about an independent run "I wish they (my opponents) would worry about it. It might keep them on their toes."

So even while he maintains that RIGHT NOW he has no intention of running independent, I think its our job as his supporters to make his opponents "worry about it" by pledging our support, if that's what RP decides to do.

A 3rd party run expands the revolution beyond just the Presidential race. That is what we need, attacking congressional seats. That will set ys up to keep moving, the GOP will wear the revolution down if given the chance.

Go to www.RonPaulWhitehouse.com and pledge to show your support for the most amazing statesman this country will have had for who knows how long (JUST IN CASE).

BUT

I admit, and am happy to do so: There is no reason to think we need to go iNDY until we see what happens between now and March 4th. He MIGHT start stomping McCain based on low voter turnout due to apathy since the media has 110% called it for McCain, and based on how horrible a choice McCain is and how much he is getting lambasted in on the air and in print, and at the 'watercooler'. Especially as Iraq of course continues blowing up and the economy gets worse. Here is my proof:

But after March 4th...

I'm out if in a month's time he continues to win 0 states and still has less than 15% support and yet refuses to go iNDY (I'll still write him in and spread the word, make calls, etc., but I probably won't donate anymore, and I'll be very sad).

Well, I can safely say...if donations dry up....Paul will be forced to call it quits, so please continue to DONATE.

http://www.ronpaulwhitehouse.com/

my dad said he'd donate another 500 to Paul (IF he announces 3rd party) (he donated 200 on Dec. 16th--but that was when it seemed like he REALLY could maybe, possibly win the Nom. I would donate 500 the day he declares (even though it will hurt financially), whereas I can't afford to give anymore (I gave just over a 1,100 in Q4 to the cause--so shut up) for his Republican run; and gramps would probably wager another 1776.00

The 2nd and 3rd tier, broader-base of supporters aren't (many or most of them) going to donate MORE--if they already have once--because TO THEM it is obvious or at least nearly certain that he's not going to get the Nom from the Republican party (I'm not saying I believe that--but they DO). However, they would be very willing and enthusiastic about supporting him in an iNDEPENDENT run.

Yeah, sure, if you want to guarantee a ceiling of 10%.

Go iNDY. it's perfect. ask around, would you vote for an independent? and then, would you vote for the Libertarian?

Yeah, NO. drugs, borders, social security.

Just go iNDY, so the voters can declare their independence from the parties, their horrible candidates, special interests and lobbyists, on and on.
