"DeMint Bomb" - Contact Jim DeMint to Get Ron Paul Endorsement
Submitted by jjgames on Wed, 01/11/2012 - 13:06Senator Jim DeMint is the most popular elected official in South Carolina (he won his last election with 61% of the vote) and he endorsed Rand Paul in 2010 when Rand ran for Senate in Kentucky. If Senator Jim DeMint endorses Ron Paul before the SC primary it will give a huge boost to Paul's campaign.
How the "DeMint Bomb" Works:
As many people as possible contact Sen. DeMint to ask for an endorsement. Do it before Jan. 15th so DeMint has time to make the endorsement before election day.
What you can do to help?
1. Contact Jim DeMint Online:
Send a message through his Senate website asking for an endorsement.

2. Fax Jim DeMint Offices:
A physical request can be more powerful than an email so do both.
Below is a sample fax sheet I sent

3. Let Your Friends Know
Get your friends to participate in the "DeMint Bomb" too by commenting and voting on Daily Paul and linking on facebook, twitter, email, etc
















Done. I thanked him for encouraging people
to listen to Dr Paul. I mentioned Sen Davis' political courage to endorse Ron Paul, a man who represents freedom but goes against the status quo.
America and the world are holding their last breath of hope to see how the voters decide. George W campaigned against the US policing the world (that's as far as he got).
I also mentioned that I would vote for Ron Paul even if I am the ONLY vote he received. I must vote my conscious and answer to God for my decisions. A coward dies a thousand deaths and a hero only dies once. Ron Paul is my HERO!!
I just sent this to Senator Demint
Senator,
I am sure you get many messages, and are quite busy, so I will be as brief as possible.
I am a South Carolina native,and I have lived in SC all my life.
I'm 26 right now, in 14 more years I will be 40 years old. I am seriously worried about what the USA will be like by then. My main concerns are the radical out-of-control spending, soaring national debt, and poor monetary policy. Will the paper money in my wallet be worth anything in 5 years? 10? 15?
This 2012 presidential election is a time when we can make some much needed change in the direction our nation is headed.
I would like to ask you to formally endorse Congressman Ron Paul and his candidacy. Your support would be greatly appreciated, and favorably viewed by a voter base that is active, energetic, and very dedicated.
Thank you very much,
(my name here)
Now is the time..
To make sure Senator DeMint, endorses ron paul as well i will be faxing his office's tomorrow morning!
We ahve another senator signed up! Tom Davis.

Ron Paul 2012!
I just sent him a message.
Keeping this bumped...

I JUST SENT A MSG TO DEMINT
Thanks for posting this idea. Here is what I sent:
Please endorse Ron Paul for president. Newt, Huntsman, and Santorum cannot beat Romney. You have it in your power to give Paul a huge boost. Paul is already surging in your state. If you fail to endorse him and he wins, you risk missing the Ron Paul Revolution Train.
I called my congressman in TN to say no to the bailout in 2008. I was ignored along with a majority of the people. The powers that control this country are grinding the people up while they are kicking the can down the road and enriching themselves and their cronies. We cannot afford to take a middle road again. It may be too late already, but the sooner we face our problems with the winds of freedom and liberty at our back, the sooner we can take our country back and restore it to prosperity.
Dr. Paul is the best man for this. Join with the people's candidate now and endorse Ron for president. Romney is a creation of the MSM and his multi-millionaire backers. He is not a movement and his support is paper thin.
Again, please come out and support this man! Ron Paul 2012!
Just Called Demint's Washington Office
Spoke to his assistant and let him know that I respect Mr. Demint, I'm a Republican, Conservative, Christian and Small Business Owner (I mentioned this because I want him to know that I am part of his 'target voter' block, not because this makes me different/better than anyone else). I stated that I was aware that Mr. Demint had said he may not endorse anyone but I asked her to pass along the message that we need help from people like him to give us our freedoms and ability to be prosperous back. We are simply looking for someone that has the courage to stand up for Liberty, sound money and a smart foreign policy.
Not sure it will help or not but I feel better making my opinion heard. Just remember to be very polite, honey catches more flies than vinegar.

Jim DeMint is an idiot and a
Jim DeMint is an idiot and a political snake. He is the kind of Republican who supported every expansion of government under Bush, yet did a complete 180 under Obama. His positive words for Paul are, IMO, 100% due to the fact that the paleoconservative right has a larger-than-normal presence in South Carolina.
The other day on CNN he said the stupidest thing. He said that we need to cut the biggest parts of government, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. How about defense? Not a word there; the reporter didn't even push him. When the interviewer then asked him, how can you renege on your promises, Demint just evaded the question by pretending like the question was regarding the promises made to seniors, though the question implied the promises made to everyone.
Demint said he didn't want to cut SS or Medicare of those over 55, because those people had "paid into it; it wasn't charirty. They were getting back what they paid in". By saying that, he is implying that those under 55 would be recieving "charity"; getting more than they paid in. That is an utter and ridiculous lie. He says that because he can't afford to lose his voting base (seniors) but still wants to rob the last treasure house....SS and Medicare.

Agreed. This should be FRONT PAGE.
:~)
How beholden is Demint
to the military industrial complex?
does it matter?
We arent helping him get elected, and we arent necessarily supporting him--we are helping PAUL get elected. DeMint is already in office. He helped Rand get in office. And an endorsement by DeMint could turn Ron Paul from 1st to 3rd in South Carolina-- where we can either take the lead in the Presidential race or add a 3rd place finish going into Florida. South Carolina could be the turning point GOOD OR BAD for the entire campaign.
I sent an email to Demint last night for an endorsement.
I just wanted to know is all.
This should be front page in
This should be front page in my opinion, our elected officials are there so the will of the people is represented.Of course be respectful and don't spam them.
There is also a state senator from SC named Tom Davis and 3 others that went to Ron's Columbia rally Wednesday (Larry Grooms is one, I'll have to get the names for the other 2) who could use some motivation from us.

Im putting it out there to all my best contacts
The response on his FB page has been great, and very positive. I will continue to contribute to the effort to thank Jim and ask for his endorsement.
I'm not so sure...
that Demint is on our side at all. What he REALLY seems to be saying is that he wants other Repubs to start imitating RP in words only so that the threat of RP actually getting the nomination is lessened.In other words - say anything to steal his voters away.
That did'nt work so good for Perry, did it?
I spoke with their office today...
and i can tell you that they CONFIRMED: DeMint will NOT endorse Mitt Romney. We also know that DeMint was quite helpful in Rand Paul's run for Senate.
DeMint "THANK YOU" Bomb instead
DELETE this Thread - DeMint has done everything short of giving an endorsement to Ron Paul. Did you WATCH him make the rounds talking up Dr. Paul yesterday?
His "kingmaker" position likely demands that he not go all the way out of the limb and outright endorse RP. But let's be happy and THANKFUL for what he has been doing.
Cos Cob, CT
have you bothered to go to the man's FB Page?
If you had, you would see the HUGE outpouring of people "THANKING" him for his support so far, and asking VERY KINDLY, and VERY respectfully for his endorsement. We ARE happy, and we ARE thankful, and we ARE letting him know it. Is there some reason you have jumped to the conclusion we ARENT?

Sen. DeMint has been very friendly towards the Paul campaign over the past week and it would be shame to have it compromised by a slew of harassing e-mails, faxes and phone calls.
Really?
Well, what do you have to contribute to increase the chances of an endorsement by DeMint? One of the reasons I dont contribute here very often, although I was Co-chair of Johnson County for the campaign and precinct captain in my precinct, and raised $2500 for a sign in cedar rapids iowa in less than 72 hours... oh where was i... one of the reasons i rarely contribute or comment on the Daily Paul is the tendency that people have to contribute nothing to efforts but negativity. Thats not how things get done.
And btw, when i called their office i was very cordial and the staff was quite nice and happy to take my call. Maybe you think all RP supporters are harrassing and dont know how to court support, but I dont. Had I just sat down at my precinct and 2nd guessed the power of speaking the truth boldly we would have lost our district. I know this because we won by two votes, I was one of them-- the other was a Perry supporter who was quote in the Cedar Rapids Gazette saying that the stump speech for Paul turned him and he voted Paul.
Im going through the list...
of every "state" for Ron Paul facebook page individually. I am at North Carolina on the alphabetical list. I have posted to each the copy and paste I posted below.
etc
you will find that graphics come up on the copy and paste when you use it on FB. mmmmmmmm... pictures.
I think I will throw in the phone number to his DC office too. Im using a list of the 50 states alphabetically to keep track of where Im at.

Good Luck with that.
Ron would be better off without him.
Jim DeMint is a fake tea party republican. Watch the video I just posted.
And I am not surprised.
Ron Paul is My President
FYI
DeMint has been talking up Paul all week. And FYI, I just spoke with DeMint's DC office. They CONFIRMED that DeMint will NOT be endorsing Mitt Romney. The door is open. If he is true, he will endorse. He helped Rand with his Senate run. Besides, even an opportunistic politician would respnd to an office flooded with calls from the BEST known donors out there.
This is what I sent:
Dear Senator DeMint, as you are well aware of the disastrous fiscal environment in which the citizens of this country are forced to take part, I ask that you endorse Dr. Ron Paul for the Republican nomination. I have heard you speak many times and I must say I agree with you on fiscal matters almost entirely. I feel that one needs to look very seriously into the nature of our foreign policy (with regard to pre-emptive war and interventionism) and ask if our actions represent the character of the united States. Are we continuing to move in the direction set by our traditions or are we going astray? Do we lead by force or by example, and what is the example set by force? There is so much we can do, we can be the light of Liberty again, I believe this, I will fight for this. Please join the millions of us who are ready to stand up for what is right. Please publicly endorse Ron Paul
Enonesoch
Im doing my best to make this go viral
Im working with a few other people and pasting to this to every _______ (state) for Ron Paul-- all 50 states. It should disperse through all the counties "For Ron Paul" from there, hopefully. Here is what I have been posting. I may refine the message today.
****IMPORTANT**** PLEASE LIKE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR JIM DEMINT'S FACEBOOK PAGE AND POST TO HIS WALL-- ASKING HIM TO ENDORSE RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT ASAP!!

It's worth a shot. Here's what I emailed him.
Senator DeMint:
For Republican voters under 40, Ron Paul is in first place. What's that tell you about the future? Be a pioneer. Endorse Ron Paul and be loved forevermore by the growing liberty movement.
Thanks very much for your favorable comments on the Laura Ingraham show.
