"Fired by the campaign" - What is going on?

Ron Paul 2012

http://whatreallyhappened.com/blogs/thespirit/12/02/10/first...

I've been gone all day. I got home, checked to see if anyone had confirmed or refuted the accusation from the Alabama gentleman. I find the thread locked. That does not set well with me, but OK. I carry on with my evening surf. 2 minutes later, I find this article.

Now, mind you there is something not right going on here in Idaho, too. Can't tell exactly what is awry, but something is not right.

Is the campaign blackballing "rogues?" Because if you can find a "Ron Paul" button, there is a rogue wearing it. This is NOT a good plan.

Response on behalf of Alabama

Got a response back from my contacts there. Turns out there is no problem and they got a full slate of delegates completed. This guy must of just been mad because "supposedly" the state campaign would not allow delegates if not reviewed by them. Thinking this would hinder delegate slots...which it has not. I don't think there is going to be any problems. Revolucion!! (Not french just wanted to say it)

I find airing out your complaints on DP, unproductive.

If the meetup group isn't working for you and others, start your own. Contact the campaign and find the solutions. They asked us to stop canvassing with the superbrochures that we had already purchased as they wanted to focus on the economy as the single issue. We didn't have any single issue material, so we went ahead and canvassed with what we had. This is a grass roots effort until they start supplying material, then we should coordinate our efforts with the campaign and get answers to our questions on the conference calls.

Hopefully Doug Wead will reply

This is not an isolated event. If there/were are problems in Alabama, Idaho, Nebraska (according to one commenter on youtube), and South Carolina (according to Lew Rockwell), four states that we know about (how many more?), then this needs to be dealt with. Have we been infiltrated? Bought off? Why hasn't the campaign responded? I just sent this and the youtube link to Doug Wead through FB. Hopefully he can get someone at the campaign to shed some light.

We are 3 weeks from the caucus. It is the first time Idaho has done a GOP Caucus, and it is like the best kept secret in politics. I cannot understand why Idaho did not get a campaign office the instant he announced his candidacy, this state was one of his very best showings in 08. Instead, we finally got a state chairman for the campaign 2 days ago, and they still have not announced who it is. Supporters here are still out waving signs when they need to be getting the word to supporters about the caucus. We still do not even have an organized canvassing or phone banking effort. How could we have gone from RP country to fustercluck so easily? The same people that stabbed me in the back throughout 2007-2008 are still running the meetup and refusing to cooperate with anyone because they have a "super secret strategy." That has got to be one helluva strategy, that you can keep it secret from RP supporters. (Mind you, the head honcho of this has never so much as donated a dime to RP, and tomorrow he is holding a rally for a guy who won't endorse RP.)
Seriously, I had to STOP canvassing because last election, I wound up getting people to run for PCP and the "Super Secret Squad" ran people against me, and so both RP supporters lost. The very first candidate I "found" turned out to have already been in touch with the Squad. So I emailed the guy and asked "WHAT precincts do I need to canvas?" and he won't even reply. If it were just me, it would be OK, but I have had 4 people tell me they QUIT attending meetups because this guy just wasted their time.
If the campaign is enabling "divide and conquer" strategies from within, it is a problem that really needs fixed.

National campaign incompetence.

It's not. It's just incompetence.

Sigh

I can't tell you how much this bothers me. I really hope we get some answers.

I would try to come to that if I could. There would be people coming from all over. This would be sooooo
awesome.

What's up with the official state campaigns? I hope Ron will read this open letter and at least this will get addressed.

Not clear about what your problem is. (?)

I can't make heads or tails about what you are upset about. And, really, we just don't need any more "drama posts" at the moment.

Let's focus on the Money Bomb coming up.

his problem is someone told him to not have a Ron Paul sign in his yard and to not go to the meetup groups and to stop canvasing because in some silly and unclear reason hurting the campaign

Hmmmm...I'm going to hit up my contacts back home to see what's going on. I haven't heard of this, yet. Wish I was home to do something. Would've tried to be a delegate but that's shot.

hope we get some answers

Just as in 2008 there are probably some moles some bad apples within the campaign that try to sabotage our grassroots efforts.
The problem is not just in Alabama as you can see from some comments under the video.

Think of it.
For example Mitt Romney supporters could pretend to be Ron Paul fans just to get inside the campaign.

think the Silverdome idea is good.
The time and resources are better spent elsewhere.
