Guerrilla Newspaper Takeover Network - For Ron Paul

This is my hometown paper
http://www.fremonttribune.com/articles/2008/01/18/opinion/ed...

Someone posted that they support Ron Paul and someone
else posted this response...

"And to the Ron Paul supporter...he will never be president...he is a crackpot. Don't you listen to what he says? If you did you would not support him. Do you actually believe if we call all our military home we will be safer? Do you think the enemy will stop at our borders and turn away? Are you forgetting 9-11 as Ron Paul has? I am fed up with so-called politicians blaming this country for all the ills of the world as Ron Paul does. You don't have a problem with this?"

Would anyone care to respond ?
You do not have to register..just choose a ID enter the code and respond.
They review all responses before they post them so your response might take a few hours to update or the next morning.
Thank you !!!

BUMP!!

Keep coming back and get the NAME going so we associate what is being done with the name of the effort.

I will do so in RI once you have it figured out...right?

We want it more than they do so our ideas are better than theirs.

Sound like you have a basic hierarchal structure. would a bulletin board system suffice? they are free. the right forum software would allow you to list the 50 states as forum topics. under the state folders you could list published articles. then under the article folders, you could post favorable replies/rebutals. you could still have your image map with the states point to these folders. and; the right sql queries will put the numbers up for you. an advantage of having a BB style backend to this is that you would already have login functions, a well recognized format, and proven software to keep up with it.
you could also create another forum containing the sample letters you speak of.

. If you can find a ron paul sympathetic programmer there; they could do the necessary mods in no time. i could do it, (except the numbers displaying on the individual states.(have to think about that one!) but it would take me longer than you would like. little rusty on my php/sql skills!

as far as seting up the bulletin board they are pretty simple, and you get a ton of admin functions. things like security, user administration, email users, etc.

Good luck with the $500. If it doesn't work out as planned, i would volunteer some of my time to help.

by posting on sites such as Motorweek.org( a fairly big political thread is still up since December...around 50 responses, some coming out for Ron Paul, etc, who did not come from here, but are regulars for years on that site)forums, and the tv hsow has been on since 1981, iirc.... every week, showing cars and test drives, etc....on PBS....
and on another site, rareseeds.com, forums on a thread called Politics of Food(something like this). There are nearly 3,200 people signed up there, and the thread has 1,600+ replies by dozens of people(they put out 110,000 catalogs last year...and increasing.. so, literally, 100,000+ people scan the site, over the next few months, for seeds, catalogs,forums, whatever, around this time of year).
A few people from here, about 7-10 days ago, hopped on over there and posted asap; joined up.
It was great. Still up, the thread. Think it's nearing 1,800 replies.
Lots of poltical talk on the site, including some RP topics.

And detnews.com/forums(political and car talk, for example) tons of union members post there(good way to get them ot look up RP is to mention him. Get lots of replies recently. They seem upset with their Democratic leadership in MI..sicne they are in 50th out of 50 states, for unemployment...the highest, that is).
It's great.

Always get replies, on all of these sites( think the rareseeds.com has the highest replies/number of RP threads, besides here, lol..about anywhere outside of a RP fan site).

take care/not offense.

You might want to look at having a limit on the number of people who respond to the "local" paper. If 500 people respond to my local paper, they will no that it's not locals and start to tune it out. And at the same time, another newspaper might be getting no responses. At the very least, you want a way to tally people who e-mailed in (or said they e-mailed in). It would help not only keep it from seeming like "spam", but would help pinpoint which papers need more attention.

Great idea! Free market campaigning works!

BUMP!! Great Idea

There are 6 newspapers in my area and they allow each person to submit a letter to the editor each month. I've been submitting a letter/e-m each month for the last 4 months and they are ALL printed.

This strategy has had tremendous success in raising local awareness, getting people to look for local Meetups and raising money for Ron Paul.

My local paper should be easy.. you don't even have to e-mail them to respond to a post nor do you have to sign up..you just create a name and submit your post.

let this be heard
