The measure of a man (or woman) is known when things get desperate.
Regardless of these caucuses, the economy is headed for the most severe recession in U.S. history. Ron Paul is still America's only hope.
We can't give up. We have to be resolute.
But it would be foolish to keep on doing what hasn't worked and expect future outcomes to be different.
We have to adapt. We have to improve. We cannot falter now.
What we MUST do now to WIN:
1.) Change has to happen within castle Ron Paul (the official RP campaign structure). It has to be more open and responsive. We have a good 'king', a bad 'general' (the campaign manager), and a 'mob', rather than an organized 'militia'.
2.) The RP campaign badly needs a 'skunkworks' team. The best and the brightest amongst ardent RP supporters, a strategic thinktank that RP can rely upon for advice, solutions and more importantly a team that knows how to execute on the plans.
3.) Ron Paul must designate trusted official lieutenants in every state. Orators and debaters who are 100% immersed, knowledgeable and living Dr. Paul's message. Unfortunately they have to look good on TV and have to be comfortable and confidence inpiring. They have to be leaders too. Directives from them are understood to be directives coming from Ron Paul himself. They can be nameless, just Ron Paul (state name). They'll get RP's message across better that way, and create more intrigue and curiosity.
4.) Dr. Paul has to convene a grassroots Superforum, and gather all of these lieutenants (and anyone willing to attend), to air and act upon issues.
5.) The offical RP campaign website must provided updates and information almost in real time. Sadly forums such as this one have more up-to-the minute information than the official website.
The offical RP site is a day and a half late to release information - too late to be of any use. Too much speculation has occurred. Just checked. The front page still says "As NH is headed for the polls...".
6.) We MUST immediately protect the donation base by communicating to RP supporters the comprehensive strategy - what the changes are, why and how we can still win this. We need a 'post-NH rallying the troops message' NOW, not later.
7.) We MUST refine and repackage the message (ALL of it) towards the positive. For example we should say "We will take care of everyone who relies upon Medicare, and make sure that money for your Medicare does not go to the Wars." Formalize these messages and print it out so that everyone can repeat it correctly.
8.) We are taking a beating. We have to change our stance and take the offensive.
9.) Finally we have to lead by example. True Ron Paul revolutionaries must move to the state where Ron Paul has won the most votes, institute Libertarian changes as comprehensively as we can, hopefully make it prosperous while all other states flounder. No other message will help in the long term.
We can't expect Dr. Paul to know how to manage a nationwide organization well.
That is not his 'core expertise'.
When you have to fight to survive, that is when you are most alive. We are all fighting for our survival. That is why we Ron Paul supporters are so passionate.
Dr. Paul has opened my eyes to what is wrong with the world and how to fix it.
I am not giving up. I have been changed by the Ron Paul revolution. We are fighting for much, much more than just Republicans and Democrats votes. We are fighting against chaos and anarchy. We are fighting against enslavement.
Ron Paul's vision for our country has to live within you, within all of us - without DOUBT. Only then will it be reality. Hang on! Don't give up! Fight!
