We need to do something to give Ron exposure and momentum

[Scott_in_PA]

The Whiskey Rebellion area is just a short drive from here and the PA voters could use a history lesson.

people of bedford mass know what it is ; )

I'm thinking tomorrow I will split this thread up because it has a number of projects in it but new people just look at the latest, on the last page, and the others are hard to find -- which is great! I'm glad this many ideas are coming out of it, but tomorrow I'll probably start project threads so those wanting to work on a particular project aren't having a hard time finding it.

there are a ton of images of "liberty poles" and "liberty caps" on google.... I suggest facebook and forum avatars

 

[Scott_in_PA]

I think we could get them on the highways too. Maybe just off the road on a fence pole.

We should just write liberty on them.

Not to sound sexist or anything (I'm female myself), but making the caps could be something the ladies could do to get involved. Of course the menfolk could be the ones shimmying up the flagpoles and up atop of statues for placement. Fun for the entire family...in a good old-fashioned way.

I think topping flag poles of people who are ron supporters first would do the most good.... cause you can ask them. Same pet peeve I have with signs.... if you dont immediatly associate it with a person or house, dont bother putting it up.... cause no one cares that the plot of land on I-40 likes Ron Paul... but the guy who owns the hardware store has a ron paul sign... that means something to people


Photos of statues with liberty caps..... and leave the caps on flag poles , businesses and homes...... this will get the ball rolling

a flag with a liberty cap is a "purple cow" from that ted presentation

Good idea!

So.... supplies.... red linen cloth.... and extending arm to place the cap on the pole (to bad theres no fairs this time of year cause you could do the "put the cap on the pole" game and tell people why you use the cap)

im gonna get access to a sewing machine tomorrow and get a friend to help so I can get some ready to send to NC

this is real grass roots viral marketing ; )

 

[wgadget]

I've got a sewing machine, and now I've got something to sew on it! Maybe I'll go check out eBay for some inexpensive red linen. I'd certainly be willing to make some and ship them out to whoever can use them for the cause.

 

[bbwarfield]

okay.. if your in... change your forum avatar to the libety cap for a day or two.... people will ask... this can also be a kinda proof of concept thing.... if forum people arent asking... then the news probly wouldnt care either. The more active people would be like a main street shop... the newer low post count people would be the strength that gets people asking "why all those dang hat avatars? even so and so has one"

 

[bbwarfield]

Im gonna miss barry goldwater avatar : ( at least I got his quote on liberty in my sig ; )

if I can lose my barry goldwater avatar for the cause... then I probly wouldnt do it out in the real world

 

[bbwarfield]

these are grips for a colt revolver... maybe some 2nd ammendment lover would like this as a avatar?

one of the ladies here might like this one?

I'm gonna go to Goodwill and look for curtains or blankets. I bet there will be a lot of Red stuff to choose from.

Edit: I'm going to ask my daughter if she will do the sewing

LOL Went to EBay, typed RED LINEN, very first item with 11 minutes left is 3 yards of red linen for $20. Can't beat that with a stick.

I don't think I even HAVE an avatar. Heh.

If we're going to promote Dr Paul's stance on civil liberties, how about trying to make the point that the other 4 candidates (Obama. Romney, Santorum, Gingrich) have the same position opposite Dr Paul's ? One way to do this that I thought of would be to have a rotating tetrahedron (pyramid) with the pictures of each of the others on one of the 4 sides. Here's an animated gif I found, so someone would have to modify it to put their pics on each of the 4 faces.

This idea could actually be used in any Dr Paul ad to show how the other 4 are basically all the same, and that Ron is the only one who offers real change,

[bbwarfield]

okay.... this may sound crazy too...

get people to go into Santorum rallies with one of these caps on a poll (dont wear ron paul stuff) make sure people notice it... try to get in video shots

then get a group outside the event to all be wearing them and waving them (not till there coming out of the event) WITH ron paul signs!!! kinda like a pwnd type thing

do it at a Newt event? the historian he is might even reference it..lol... then when they walk out and theres Ron Paul supporters wearing them? major pwnage

maybe we can cordinate it with the give me liberty or give me death anniversary? kinda a "liberty cap bomb" on the other candidates?

Hey why not go with the white arm bands again?
