We need to do something to give Ron exposure and momentum

[sailingaway]

here's an article about Ron's bill to repeal the indefinite detention provisions of NDAA and it includes a video of Ron's House speech http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/285351/20120120/ron-paul-ndaa-debate.htm

Here is video of Ron talking about SOPA and NDAA at a hanger rally in New Hampshire, the video was posted by Immortal Technique so he may have the download:

We all show up someplace wearing phrygian caps..... make them the che shirt of the ron paul revolution


think about it... the phrygian cap has ALWAYS represented liberty... its even on some state flags and seals.... on the seal opf the senate too

 

[sailingaway]

I'm going to have to look up what that is, now....

But here's a cool video posted at the dailypaul which is right in line with this line of discussion, and which can be tweeted!

I would like to see the momentum being built of the back of some honest vote counting. Nothing could please me more than to see the world come together again for peace...

Also a little honest currency would go a long way to fix many of the wrongs of the world.

We need a gimmick. Last time we had the Ron Paul blimp. What can we do this time?

The blimp was great because no one knew who he was, but now we need people to know WHY they would want to vote for him, regardless of media marginalization. I'm not sure a gimmick works as well for that, but maybe I am just not thinking of the right gimmick.

Phrygian Phlash Mobs....cool.

1) The campaign sends a release to the media that Ron is going to make an "announcement".

2) Media speculates about dropping out, endorsement, etc.

3) Ron takes the opportunity to give a WAKE UP CALL to Republicans, giving a bold speech on how the parties change, but nothing changes, and that there is no path to the whitehouse without him. This will excite us, and get a ton of press.

I like this idea a lot, for multiple reasons.

Where would such objects be attained if one were to desire

The corporate media has officially declared war on us by having a COMPLETE blackout on Paul's campaign. We need to fight back on their turf. We need to go guerilla with this now! I know the term has a negative connotation, but we need to "occupy" the media. We need to force our way into the living rooms of these people who only rely on the corporate media for their "news". I'm not sure how that can be accomplished. What if we organized ahead of time and flashmobbed on-location news reports? What if we had signs that said things like "THE TV LIES, YOUTUBE RON PAUL" It would not even need to be news reports that were relevant to the campaign. Just anywhere "they" show up, we show up. We need to get pro-active. The internet thing has worked great so far but I feel we may have reached a ceiling. We need to shake things up and wake these people out of their slumber. The average person who isn't for Ron Paul is not the enemy, he is an oppurtunity. They are not for Ron Paul only because they are mis-informed. Being against Ron Paul is like being against our founding fathers.

I think our guys have backed off the internet just lately though, and we need to gear it up.
If there were flash type appearances I think maybe they should pick a statement "Ron Paul opposes NDAA indefinite detention", something specific. I don't think the 'google' 'youtube' is enough at this point, on the other hand, I think people do know who he is this time, but I agree the media is the problem here.

Ron needs to create exposure of some kind like making an appearance on SNL.

etsy and amazon had a few.... but.... we could by a few bolts of red linen... ive looked at a pattern for one a year or so ago and they were very easy to sew

for about 300$ you could outfit an entire college campus with them (media would get wondering if every story involving a school there were 20 phrygian caps in the shots)

It sound really really ridiculous.... but if you read about phrygian caps you understand how they were a powerful symbol of liberty (the statue of liberty in the capital original had one in the rough scetches but was deemed to "anti-slavery" so was removed by the request of southern legislatures)

Stewart & Colbert have been pretty respectful and evenhanded

Regarding the sign, I was just throwing something out there. The main idea is to go on the offensive against the media. They are obviously against us. We need signs that show how they are the enemy and can't be trusted. The NDAA sign is good but how many people know what that is. I would suggest "Why won't the media talk about NDAA, google it!" See how that puts us in the offensive position, attacking their credibility?

I do like that....

and welcome to the forums by the way!

Also, my idea still uses the internet. We use the internet to organize something we would be doing in the real world.

Having something that can be both symbolic and an instant form of 'brand recognition' would be very good for the camping I think. Historical significance is even better makes it more than "just some new fad"
