What's your 2016 plan?

[mosquitobite]

• While 2016 is a presentational election year, how much will you focus on it vs. other local races? I will be focusing locally. Indiana Rs elect precinct committeemen in 2016. This is more important in the long run than one man at 1600 Pennsylvania.
  
• Are there any strong up-and-coming congressional candidates that are worth supporting? Not currently, but working on that!
  
• Will you work to be a national delegate for your district? I will run for state delegate, but our state has the nationals LOCKED up. See point #1 (why that is more important)
  
• Have you networked with other liberty supporters in your district to build a local plan? Locally, regionally and state wide.
  
• Beyond being a delegate, what actions will have the best payback for supporting a presidential candidate, such as Rand Paul? Running for precinct committeemen.
  
• Are you working to become an expert in some area that is of value to advancing liberty? Yes, I've ran for office and might again this year. I think this will help build my experience and knowledge for campaign management.
  
• What other questions should one be asking? If not you, then who?

Onward!

See above!

PAC structure is degrading pack structure. And so that is about as nutshell as I can say it. I don't like PAC structure. It contradicts what you're saying here.

^ yes.

I will hopefully find some state candidates to support here in NC.

Mostly local. Almost all local unless Paul or Walker is the nominee.

[*]Will you work to be a national delegate for your district?

Don't know what that is. I should be on the state committee and will push liberty folks from state delegate all the way up to President.

Recruiting and training dozens of candidates, and helping the folks running LibertyBallot.com

There are many steps along the path to 2016, and they will vary by state. Good post. Bump for more....

Some good responses...

I plan on hanging out on the forum and arguing with people more intensely.

I did everything from phone calls, handing out fliers, did some writing... The one thing I did that made me feel very dirty was registering republican.

Thinking of getting back to the grind makes me think of seeing an old person struggling to stand up after sitting too long. I have become quite a keyboard commando.

We had a very good Ron Paul Meet up group where I live. I think the first thing I'm going to do is get in touch with some of the old crew and see what's on the agenda.

I do understand Tod's sentiment. I'm a lot more cynical about politics these days

About a year ago, was thinking would donate and try to help Rand. But now, I'm in the camp of naw, let the motherfucker burn. Hillary 2016!.

So, from that perspective, I have pretty well enough cash socked away to buy a place in the country, if catch a good deal, from there just going to work on what I want to work on which is solar system, well water, garden. That should cover the next presidents first term. I'm good.

Like most everyone else here I put A LOT of effort, time, energy, and MONEY into RP 2012. I can't believe it's almost time to start it all over again.

I likely won't be near as involved as before, I'll throw Rand some money on MB's and vote in the primary and general (if he makes it). I talk a lot to the people around me at work and the gym.

I am pretty burnt out on the whole thing to be honest. I like Rand, he's ok, but Ron inspired me.

I can't do much locally because I am a FL resident who lives in GA and I wouldn't even change that for Ron because I like not paying state income taxes too much.

I will likely be more active on the forums and donate to any causes that show up here.
