No, Protest against Fox on 1/3!!! It will hurt Ron Paul!!!

and going out and contacting voters. Canvasing..

How about supporters wearing their Ron Paul gear at FOX televised sporting events? The next big ones are Fiesta Bowl (1/2), Orange Bowl (1/3), and the BCS game (1/7).

I think a protest would be a bad move, especially right now... Let's keep things positive. Let's do what we always do best... Promoting Ron Paul's message of freedom and prosperity!

A huge number of beautiful people peacefully holding Ron Paul signs isn't a bad thing - ever!

Has anyone else noticed that Ron Paul supporters are the best looking people involved in politics, or is it just me? ;)

I read Daily Paul forums every day, but I don't post very often, so most of you won't know me. I've been active politically and have been a Republican most of my adult life, up until 5 years ago, when I went Independent.

Like most of you, I dislike how Dr. Paul is treated by the media, especially Faux News. But please do not encourage a protest against Fox News on Jan 3, the day of the Iowa Caucus. This protest will not accomplish much and might backfire. The press will be completely focused on Iowa.

A protest against the news media will not gain many votes for Dr. Paul in future primaries, especially from average middle-class Republicans disillusioned by the other candidates. They want to know about the issues, not how crappy Fox News treats Dr. Paul.

Jan 3 is the kickoff day for the primaries. It's what we've all been working toward. Instead of using your energy protesting, use it to canvass and get more votes for Dr. Paul. There is still much work to be done and from here on in, we all should try and be very careful how we conduct ourselves and choose our battles wisely.

Would Dr. Paul stand outside a TV station and protest against Fox News? No, he'd just counter their poor behavior by educating people so that they will vote for him. He'll probably hold a rally in NH during the Fox Forum and make a great speech because he's above all that. That WILL be noticed.

Let's live and work by his example.

Let the voters in Iowa speak on Jan 3 instead.

Thank you.

just be patient. Let's see what happens. There will be plenty of time to boycott and the more that are on board after Iowa and NH the stronger the boycott. Actually, we should wait until after Super Tuesday. Just so we can stand as a huge united front. The thought of a boycott will have them trembling. Just be patient. I know you want revenge or justice now, but it is not time. The time will be right soon. But not now!

but i think that whether he gets into the debate depends on how he does in iowa.
dont think a protest will do too much... better to use your energy toward positive campaigning.

Don't protest... short term we can ignore them. They have placed their credibity on the line (indeed, I believe they have doubled). Focus on the goal. Go out and canvas. We need to do well in Iowa certainly. However, beating the street with RP's message will help where you live and in time will show up in the national polls. When RP has a good 3rd place showing (or better) in Iowa the cause will have exacted a mighty price from Fox news. Focus and calm... think happy thoughts! Iowa is just around the corner.

Ron Paul supporters will be watched very closely over the next few days and weeks. It is very important that everyone watch their P's and Q's. We don't need any more contraversy at this time.

Don't be fooled into thinking that you should keep trading with those that are trying to take Our country and Our Freedom! The majority of our time right now would likely be better spent trying to find more people to vote for Ron Paul, but there's nothing wrong with spending a few minutes to see what businesses are Our Enemy, and what businesses may be Our friends, and then changing our habits of trading with them accordingly. We don't need to drop all our efforts supporting the campaign and focus on boycotting...there's not even a need for that. Just learn which businesses are friends, and which are enemies, and trade with them accordingly, and spread the word about them to your circle of family, friends, and others. This is nothing more than having the integrity to act on your beliefs. Why would you trade with your enemy? Would you continue trading with someone that is trying to kill you? No? Then why trade with an enemy that is trying to take away your liberty? Why so proudly say "Give me Liberty, or give me death", but then trade with those that are trying to take your liberty? Aren't they your enemy? Would it not be better to fight them for your liberty, than to live with them as your master?

This is what the message is all about! FREEDOM! You can't attain freedom by doing nothing! Freedom is not free! You must be willing to sacrifice everything for it! You must be willing to fight the enemy that is trying to take your freedom. If the enemy is a business, don't trade with that business, and then tell everyone why you won't, and stick to it. Would it not be wise to boycott your enemy as soon as you knew who the enemy was? Would it not be wise to find out who your enemy is?

I do not think that it requires so much time to boycott the enemy that it can slow down our campaign. In fact I think it can help us push our campaign further. We have to promote freedom in all ways. To support freedom in some ways and support slavery in other ways is against our integrity and principle, and achieves only more of the same!

NOT

"and in other news... those Ron Paul lunatics protested fox stations"

From a competition standpoint alone this makes no sense... Iowa Caucus news will dominate. Period.

Ron Paul 2008

This is exactly what Faux News wants. Do not let them win. Ignoring them, cancelling their services, not backing their advertisers is fine, but if you protest in masses they win!

Please remember that this is NOT what Dr. Paul would want you to do. Use your positive enthusiasm to promote freedom instead - we need that more than we need Faux News. They will go by the wayside once President Paul takes over anyway . . . that is how we will win!

This protest should not happen.

Someone is calling for a National Fox protest on the 3rd. The post is up here.
Going to local Fox stations on the 3rd and protesting is a waste of time and dangerous. We should have a MASSIVE RP outreach day and spread a positive message.

I agree that bombarding Faux News with phone calls & e-mails is a waste.

I believe that a boycott against all their sponsors is a worthwhile endeavor.

“When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.”-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The squeaky wheel always gets the grease. I am writing several letters to fox and my local fox station and am contacting the sponsors. I want to buy a new toyota this year as I always get a new one every four years but not this year. I will not be associated with company that is part and parcel to exterminating liberty and freedom. We need to stand up to these bullies and push back HARD

what protest you are referring to but anything that reflects negativly on fox helps our cause and will help Dr Paul.

aen't there SO MANY POSITIVE things we should be doing? Aren't there enough people that don't know what Dr. Paul is all about - that we should be bringing them the positive message instead of their first impression being "the candidate with the angry protestors"?

There was a post here that called for a nation-wide Fox protest at their stations on the 3rd of January. This is very dangerous and could result in fatal negative press. We should be pissed about Fox, however, if we have a massive, positive, outreach day, we use it to our advantage with little risk.
