URGENT info for ALL states

[susano]

Yes, that's what's so terrible. There is NOTHING wrong with the message or Ron Paul. My GOD, it's the constitution! HUMONGOUS grassroots support and a big wad of money, all being SQUANDERED.

PLEASE, everyone, anyone, scroll up to that Meetup link. I have emailed this thread to several Florida Meetups. PLEASE, pick a state and do the same. Post what state you're doing, here, so it's not duplicated. We MSUT get this urgent message circulated, FAST.

I'm going to be gone all day, tomorrow and I can't do it. In a half hour, you can go through the Meetups in one state and send them this thread. Find the organizer and email it him/her.

" Kerri also wanted to make a major statewide effort to communicate RP's pro-life stance. When one member expressed the thought on the michigan4ronpaul message board that there may be other issues that will win more votes, she had their post deleted."

That was me!! I was soo pissed. I've had nothing to do with HQ since!

I was the one backing you up on that! That thread was supposedly deleted because of what I wrote about the state campaign staff in connection with their idea. Later, I heard through the grapevine that Kerri thought I was just some uneducated hick for saying what I did. I'm not impressed with any of their leadership abilities and Kerri's education especially.

Since when has the offical campaign been in charge of us ? Everyone complaining of this chick Keri like she is your mommy. Fuck her and just do what it is what we all have been doing. You don't need her permission for anything.

The only thing paid staffers like her should be doing is handing out campaign signs, answering questions voters may have about Ron Paul, registering new voters for Ron Paul, locating voting locations, and stuff like that.

The message sells itself. The problem is getting that message herd despite MSM interference and election rigging.

Fuzzy, no, the problem is that we have given millions of dollars to this campaign to actually RUN A CAMPAIGN, which they have failed to do, in Michigan.

Grassroots cannot do the work of the national and/or the offical campaign. The tasks and responsibilities are different and the have all the big bucks.

I just had a conversation with Mike Knarr, of Ron Paul Revolution Radio. I sent him this thread. I have asked that he get this information to anyone and everyone, in an effort to save our campaign. I believe that Alex Jones will be one of the recipients.

If you have any important, first hand information, about negative experiences with official campaign staff, please post it right here, immediately. We have to do all we can to save our campaign from the people who are destroying it.

Again, I am in Michigan. I was at sign waving, tonight, where McCain's wife appeared. Just prior, I looked at the front page of the Detroit News. Three big pictures of McCain, Romney and Huckabee, with several articles. McCain and Romney attended a big Detriot auto show. Huckabee had a speech and photo op at an auto plant where 200 people are getting laid off. LOTS of coverage on these three, ZERO on Ron Paul. Because the official staff neglected to run a campaign here (no TV, no appearances), it's as though Ron Paul isn't even on the ballot. Really, really, horrible. All that money and no TV.

On a positive note, the two Michigan staffers, Leslie and Kerri, are throwing a party tomorrow night (on your dime).

This is too depressing for words

Anyone who had first hand experience with bad official campaign, and who is willing to go on Ron Paul Revolution Radio, please post here.

I just had a quick conversation with someone at Ron Paul Revolution Radio. He talked to Kerri Price, the assisstant state organizer, in Michigan, who has done so much damage to the campaign. Kerri Price told him that the Michigan grassroots were not willing to do the hard work necessary, and that she herself did a really great job.

FIRE THIS BUSH/CHENEY MOLE

We need to all realize that each of us is a leader. We don't need to ask for, wait for or seek the permission of others to do what needs to be done.

You have no idea how disheartening it is for a typical grassrooter who's never bothered befor to hear a grassroot fuckup after grassroot fuckup after grassroot fuckup. If we are to go down, it's because of our own disorganization and inexperience and not Illuminati using Satan to talk through Fox news.

It doesn't sound like a grassroot fup, but an HQ fup.

They did great when they went to transparent fundraising, why don't they try making more of the campaign transparent as well?

Sure some secrets must be kept, but really, everyone knows the goal, lot's of people know about how to campaign. Just let the best ideas rise to the top and cast off the dead weight.

That is NOT the point, here. We have PAID staffers who not delivering literature and signs. They are sabotaging the grassroots. They ran NO campaign in Michigan.

I read an article to by a Nevada newpaper saying Ron Paul had an event somewhere and when the reporter got there were only two reporters. He was confused why more media wasn't there. He offered to interview Ron Paul and Snyder refused and seemed angry. He said he then found out media wasn't there because it was not put out about the event somehow. I know this not about this lady, but it just made me think about campaign is being run. The aritle was very favorable to Dr. Paul except the part about campaign not doing good job about getting media to his events, I don't know if this is an isolated event or if it happens alot. I don't know where article is. It was on digg about three days ago.

 

[susano]

Now, I just had a call from a Meetup organizer in Southern California. He has been placing orders for literature yard signs since NOVEMBER. None of it has been delivered. Everything this guy has done, he has paid for out of his pocket, including making many donations to the official campaign.

This is bullshit.

That wasn't the article from New Jersey, was it (you sure it was Nevada?)? That same thing happened there. These staffers are treating jouralists like shit. They have press conferences but don't send out press releases. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

i know the peoria IL meetup has been asking for materials for about 4 months now. i've contacted the southern coordinator, the main coordinator, campaign offices... and nothing. oh well we did get 8 little packets of slimjims that we went through in a weekend...

 

[Bossobass]

This sort of thread is the kind of bullshit that just makes me laugh out loud.

First, I have to tell everyone who is reading this, there ain't no chance in hell some dopey girl is gonna 'sabotage' ANYTHING I do for Ron Paul.

The folks who are posting this crap LET HER sabotage them.

Second, how ridiculous is it to allow this to happen while you all stand by and grumble under your breath about it, then come here after the fact with all of the details?

I've kept up with meetup e-mails daily from NYC, NH, SC low country, SC upstate, Charlotte and several others, as well as stayed in touch with Jim, Kate, Amanda, Chris, Scott, Josh, Avery, etc., directly or indirectly. I can't imagine for one second any of us (or any one of us) grumbling about this person or that person, regardless of who hired them or into what position they were hired, while we let them 'sabotage the state'.

In fact, this sort of thing hasn't come up once in my experience through any of the people I've met and worked with around the country.

The person in charge has to be sharp or that person is either ignored or replaced and the beat goes on. PERIOD.

I would have made life so uncomfortable for such a person that she would have had to complain to HQ, not the other way around. And, it would have happened sooner rather than later.

All I can say to folks from other states is, don't wait until there's nothing that can be done and then whine, blame and ask for your donation back. Get on the horn immediately, even if it's something you only have a feeling about, and...don't start a thread about it here, in a public forum. Ping someone through e-mail, PM or by phone and let it go from there.

Please don't respond to me with some 'you don't know, you weren't there' crap. I'm just saying my piece on these useless, unfounded 'the campaign is incompetent' threads, posts, whatever.

McCain has fired hundreds of staffers. Rudy has also and is asking them to work for free. Huckleberry doesn't have a staff. Mitt could have all the staff on earth and it wouldn't help him in the least with the stupid things he says everywhere he goes. Brownback, Gilmore, Thompson, Tancredo, are ALL out of the race.

The bozos who are ahead of us have constant, daily media attention in newspapers, magazines, on TV and radio. All Ron gets is 'long shot', 'dark horse', 'fringe', 'hopeful' who is 'languishing in the polls'.

Put some blame there, will ya? The campaign has done miraculously to even still be in the race, and they'll be in the race through Super Tuesday. A miracle in it's own rite.

Guliani raised $50 million by the end of the 3rd Qtr, and spent $30 million by October.
Romney had $63 million " " " " " " " and spent $54 million by October.
McCain raised $33 million " " " " " " " and spent $30 million by October.
Ron had raised $8 million " " " " " " " and spent $3 million by October.

$3 million and only negative media against $105 million and mega free media.

THIS is how the campaign began the 4th quarter. At the same time, all of the states so far had moved their primary dates closer and closer to the 1st of the year, designed to head off the momentum of RP.

We donated millions a mere few weeks ago and Ron is in this race. We have no idea what is planned for Super Tuesday because it would be insane to announce publicly, but we seem obsessed with being this campaigns biggest detractors...right here in this forum.

Please let us get the results of the vote tonight before the campaign bashing begins, eh?

Sorry, just not what I want to see in this forum anymore. I hear enough of this shit from the media. Some pea-brained nobody 'sabotaged' Michigan. Sheesh, what next?
