We need to do something to give Ron exposure and momentum

[bluesc]

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,

I don't know why, but skimming over this post, it seemed like you were trying to sell me a secret. All I had to do was click the link, scroll through a ridiculously long webpage of BUZZWORDS and pay $80 for your ebook.

MSM

Those RP fans only like him because he want to legalize drugs....We know what that Red hat stands for.

MSM

I so thought of this when I went avatar shopping.... i was like "great... oh well" ... the next thought was "hope no one wants a silver one... cause then the MSM would say we were all wearing tin foil hats"

 

[wgadget]

Nah...we want to legalize FREEDOM.

I know several programming languages, but the one that you used there might be the oddest. I guess different you need different languages to create different kinds of soft-wear.

Thank you for the link. I think OWS and the Liberty Cap are a perfect fit. And, it’s probably a good idea to grab it before the Right turns it into another marketing scam.

I can knit, so I’ll try the caps!

Here’s somewhere you can buy them on ebay:

There are others if you type in Phygian Cap.

Also this lady makes them to order:

These are great for winter… especially the polar fleece ones. The linen ones would be good when it gets warmer.

Buff makes a bandana type scarf that can be worn in a similar fashion and has multiple other uses.

I agree that this style of cap should be taken up by the Occupy movement before the Teaparty folk considering its history.

They don't use this Right

they didnt... best my knowledge.... they went with the V for Vendetta masks and well.... nothing else really but I love the

I have never seen one at an occupy event.... they certainly didnt use them for viral marketing on flag poles

LOL

As if Tea Partiers and Occupiers want different brands of liberty. Maybe the caps could unify...

Yeah both groups (and I say this a someone who has personal connections to both) need to wake up a bit and come join us.
I have this whole rant on the subject but I'll spare you (I've gotta exercise brevity and restraint sometimes)

That's all we've been doing, "end runs around the media". We need to start attacking them directly. You ever see how Howard Stern fans will put themselves in the media crossfire just to hollar "Baba Buey". That's what we need to be doing but for a REAL cause.

Look, some of you may still be skeptical, but I have no doubt in my mind that major election fraud is going on. I truly believe that we would be winning handily if it wasn't for this fraud and blackout from the media. But they can only take the fraud so far. If Ron Paul was winning these primaries by a large majority, there wouldn't be enough leeway for them to cook the numbers. We need to stop complaining about the unfair coverage and take the fight to them.

We need to do BOTH! End run'em and attack'em head on. I agree with everything you wrote. This should be all out. We have a lot of talent around here. How much does it cost to burn a dvd on your computer? How many can you burn in a day or a couple of hours? There are great examples of Ron Paul being ignored, lied about or marginalized while there are others showing his enormous support. Even if we had 1,000 people burning dvds and sending them along to people in the next primary states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania and Delaware and Maryland with us plastering highways with signs and walking up behind news casters holding up Ron Paul signs and shouting bababouey

 

[Captain Shays]

Come on. We need to do something bump

 

[roversaurus]

How about the "Ride for Liberty" or something along those lines where Dr. Paul jumps on his bike without his helmet and rides from one point to another with supporters following him or lining the streets? I'm picturing Forrest Gump running here, but with Ron Paul on his bike.

It's a pretty simple idea, but one that I think might just catch on with the masses. If the #'s are big, how would the media ignore something like that? A man of his age riding along on his bike with massive amounts of people showing their support = WINNING!

I don't think it could hurt!

Hey, I like that one. And it's beautiful weather here for it now.
Imagine a thousand people trailing Ron Paul on bicycles?

 

[satchelmcqueen]

yep

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.

The idea was to emphasize the similarity of the other candidates by using the symmetry of the tetrahedron, like saying 2 other candidates represent "2 sides of the same coin", except there are 4 others, not 2.

Liberrty caps people...... liberty caps. Theres a hundred way to make them viral marketing
