Thanks

And please all,
Ron needs a lot of help. I asked 15 people in the past two days if they had heard of him. No one had. This was a great opportunity for me to educate them and talk about him, but it makes me very aware of how far we have to go. Get a button or bumper sticker that says “Who is Ron Paul?” (this works because people are naturally curious). Wear the button every day. We have a little bit of time until the election, but we need to really get the word out.

Write letters to the editor. Ask them why they don’t have coverage of Ron in their paper. Tell them they need to do their job and inform the public.

Send out emails every day with links. If you are in college, please do what you can to get his name across campus. Email everyone you can, put up posters, make the posters if you have to. Again, “Who is Ron Paul?” works best.

It is not enough to love him. Get busy. Tell at least ten people a day about him. I just told the pool guy and his girlfriend about Ron Paul. That is two. Tell the people in the waiting room next to you, talk to the person on the subway, tell the ticket taker, the UPS man, the plumber, the customer service rep on the phone.

I first ask if they have heard of Ron Paul, when they say no, I tell them that is because the MSM is hiding him from you because they will lose subsidies if he wins. I then tell them he is winning by a landslide on the internet and don’t you find it strange that the MSM won’t even talk about him. That usually gets people interested. Then I tell them about a few of his positions and then I tell them about his website. Carry a pad and pen and write down his web address for them. The more informal it looks, the better. Then they don’t think you are some crazy supporter working for the campaign.

If you want him as your President he needs a lot of your help. If we all tell ten people a day, well, I don’t know if that is enough, but it will sure help.

Just my 2 cents!

Ron Paul is saying all the right things to do that. The Libertarians and Constitutionalists and Paleo-cons don’t want to hear platitudes and nice-nice talk. We want an old fashioned fire and brimstone sermon heavy on the constitution and the inalienable rights of man. We want to hear about the end of the Dept of Education, and salt plowed into the earth where it stood.

Ron Paul’s job isn’t to to “win people over” it’s to find and motivate those who already agree with him. To that end, he has suceeded masterfully as Andrew points out. Giuliani may have captured the hill by getting the applause on May 15th from a room full of Neo-cons, but Ron Paul won the battle by getting his supporters to text-message vote for him, and he has won a second battle by getting his supporters to send in $5 million in campaign contributions.

Listen to Ron Paul very carefully, he knows full well how the media are going to try to spin him. They’ve been doing this to Libertarians for a while now, and it is a formulaic move. Pit the helpless victims against the rigid constitution. Should we not do something? How can you be so heartless? Mostly, the hapless Libertarian flaps his gums about the supposed limits of federal power - blah blah blah - and loses 98% of his audience.

The best recent examples of this was today’s Tucker Carlson interview, where Tucker tries to get Ron to say he hates welfare (which would then be fodder for the “This rich greedy man hates those poor destitute people, and wants to see them starve.” stories in the next day’s paper. Or Stephen Colbert’s remark about the Constituion not being a suicide pact. But Ron Paul is a verbal judo master and deftly side-stepped, and said “That’s what they say- ‘choose between freedom or death’ - but I say ‘I want to be free and alive.” and we can be if we will only follow the Constitution.”

Masterful. F-ing Brillant!

Ron Paul reminds me of a little Judo master fighting a big Sumo Wrestler. They look totally mis-matched and it seems the big hulking wrestler could wipe the floor with this little pip of a man, and then snap him in half like a dry twig. And he could - if he could just get a hold of him.

Instead the Judo master side-steps and bobs and weaves, and catches the hapless wrestler by his littlest finger, and then twists in a way designed to make the bigger man move himself to avoid the pain.

It’s going to be a long hard road to the national GOP convention, and it’s going to be a bloody battle when we get there. But we have a master leading this army, and I encourage all to study his moves, and be prepared to copy them.

Laters.
