YAL liberty candidate campaign support opening - APPLY NOW!

It is not complaining. It is asking how this can be, with the mire of laws and regulations in place governing such activities. Someone actually provided a good example of how it could work.

Question... answer.

That's not a bad thing.

Oh, Melissa. Always assuming I'm addressing you.
 
Only question I have is, how do we get there? If I drive is there a safe spot for my car, as it is in the DC area and my car is kinda a big target for theft.
 
I'm seriously considering doing this. I have a relative that lives in DC (I'm from IA). The only problem is this: Rent here costs 420 dollars a month, and I would need to fly out there. - That alone would take up the paycheck. But this is something that I'm really passionate about, but I don't wanna screw myself over financially. Do you guys really think this would be a good resume builder?
 
I don't know about resume builder per se, it is more about the passion. Unless you plan to go into politics.

Do you have any work experience on your resume? If not, yes this will be good on your resume. The persuasion skills you will develop will be valuable in any customer oriented positions.. sales, public relations, etc.

Do you plan to work in electoral or issue based politics in the future? If yes, this will be EXCELLENT on your resume. The network you create will open many doors.
 
Actually, in my life experience, it's been the "really really good ideas" that can ultimately and horrifically end up being "really really bad ideas" precisely because of the legalities.

I wasn't talking about my own life experiences. I was talking about here on rpf.

No one ever complains about the "let's fight with cops" march, or whatever the grassroots comes up with, the "get yourself court-martialed" march or the putting up of video of calling the cops because someone was shoved.

This is the campaign here. Don't worry about the legalities of it. But the point is, people, here, only worry about things being legal when they're effective things. They just aren't complaing about the ineffective things, the potentially embarassing to Ron Paul things, being also illegal.

I'll worry and wonder about any damned thing I want to. If you can't answer my questions, then STFU.

What you're not factoring in is that some of us work on small, ill funded campaigns and we like to learn a few tricks from the bigger boys along the way.

I worked mostly 16-18 hour days without a day off between Thanksgiving and March 15th. I didn't go into the office on Christmas Day, but I was still working from home even then. The others in Minnesota did the same. Prior to that, between June and Thanksgiving while in DC I was taking Sundays lightly, but still working from home. I was in the office essentially every Saturday. One volunteer I know has developed nerve pain in their hand from phone banking so much. It's grueling brutality mentally, physically, and emotionally.

But that's what it takes to win and there is nothing else I'd rather be doing. Everyone who applies for this opportunity should think of it as going to an all-consuming "summer camp" where everything you do is live, eat, breath, and sleep liberty 24/7. ;) :D :cool:

And you still had time to go out, party, drink, and post all those images to facebook, and also make a joke about Paul dropping out of the race on April 1st? Now I know why the campaign hired you, you're just that damn amazing.

By the way, why should we do this? It's inevitable Romney is the nominee now, because Santorum dropped out, right? Or is it you really don't live, eat, breathe and sleep liberty 24/7? One or the other, can't be both.

Seriously how dare you come to this forum and ask students to work for ~$3/hr, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Students who would graciously do so, because they give a hoot about this movement and would never make a statement like the one linked above. It's a damn shame they are not being paid YOUR SALARY MATT COLLINS.

Edit: And to the students applying for this position... thank you. You replenish my hope in this movement that some campaign staffers manage to take away sometimes. Kick butt with the calls.

Let's face it, the message is poorly worded. Apparently they want more volunteers that are willing to work hard. We can take that at face value, and anyone who wants to go there and volunteer should try it out.

Just because people have issues with the person who posted this call for people, it should not reflect upon the urgency of the campaign's needs right now. Priorities and timing. There will be plenty of time to review the details of the campaign and messengers later on.

IMHO, of course. ;)

Holy well-said Nikki. You're restoring my faith, one word at a time.
 
Starting for two weeks on Sunday May 6th. WOW!! this YAL Program is obviously not targeting the Open Primaries on May 8th which include Indiana, West Virginia and North Carolina. I sure hope others, someone, in the Campaign are targeting these States, especially because they are OPEN.

And one wonders why the Campaign did not Sponsor an End of April PUSH Money Bomb like many have suggesteId here and over at the Daily Paul. I know many I have corresponded with are scratching their heads.....

Most college students have finals in the next few weeks so won't be able to go until the second week of May (at least)

Are you saying that these are secret fringe benefits to the "job opening"? ;)

Edit: let's leave it at that.

On a more serious note, I appears that someone named Edward King wrote the email. Who is he? Anyone else is just the messenger.

He is the guy who made the selections for Christmas in Iowa and New Years in New Hampshire, he is with the Youth for Paul.

In fact, Edward King appears to be the "National Youth Director" for Ron Paul.

Previously national field director at Young Americans for Liberty)

These positions are with YAL -- not the campaign.

Also -- it sounds like thee focus will be on Senate, Congressional, or local races that are winnable -- not on Ron Paul.

You've obviously never worked on a campaign before... you should apply


You never know what can happen.

I have no idea what you're talking about, and you're not making any sense.
