* * Revolution Needs a Cause Beyond Campaign * *

What do you think?
We are all busy and stretched to the limit with RP campaign, at present.
Let's say...we hope and pray RP wins...and perhaps, too a brokered convention may occur. This election is the most unpredicable that most has seen for many a year--this we know. Look---there were 11 Repubs. now only 4 and RP is still in the race. McCain is so shaky...and Romney is not desirable to many for conservative reasons. Anything could happen.
But, what I am thinking on, is how can his group of supporters, expand their future vision, into activitism LONG TERM...for the re-teaching of American---its founder's vision?
What do you envision?

We need to create something like values voters
Maybe with our own convention, membership fee, newsletter etc.
We could endorse candidates, do vetting of candidates to support, and other causes - like tax resistors, or home schoolers, or gun owners, or civil liberty causes. Team up with other organizations, to give them extra push.
IB Schools
One thing you will have to do is warn folks about sending their kids to IB schools. These are run by the UN, and they promote world government. Kids can be as young as 3 and the UN has a 'programme' for them. It's all so sickening.
How about getting and staying involved
Support your local level and congressional campaigns by doing the following...1. Run for office...2. donate and get involved in helping those with constitutional views get elected....3. encourage others to run for office.
I am running for office this year, the 16th district of Kentucky State Representative and could use the help so if anyone is here from Todd and Logan counties of Kentucky, let me here from you.

By All means get involved!!!!!!!!

An independent voting block
We need to organize and help fund other campaigns that mirror this one. We need to get people elected to Governor, congress, senate, all the way to town councils and school boards.

The Answer
to your question has been around as long as Dr. Paul:
http://www.lp.org/
after the primaries I, like many of Dr. Paul's supporters, will return to our political party of choice...its time has come.
The time to prepare is now
Start thinking about thr necessary structure to maintain this movement alive and growing. The message of respect for the Constitution, reduction of the size and power of government, and a stop to empire building, needs to be the uniting force of a new political structure that will make it possible to elect like minded individuals to all levels of government. The Republican and Democratic parties are under the control of an stablishment that will use all its resources to maintain its power and wealth. This movement goes beyond parties and personalities, Ron has been an extraordinary force that has made it possible to create the infrastructure that can organize this needed new third party. Ron should continue the present campaign as long as it is productive to do so, but if it does not go as we would like it to go, there are alternatives: Ron could run as a third party candidate, or endorse a like minded person to continue the struggle. We can not let this movement fade away, there is too much to loose if we do.
bump this up

Great!!!
Love those 2 links---thanks for post.
I hope all check out...and add to these ideas!!!
Go Revolution.
The Revolution has a long way to go
Even if things break well, and RP Wins the Nomination, we still have to reeducate people to Real Self Reliance after three generations of Nanny Government controlled by select vested interests.
It has to be done if we are to survive as a real free nation.
We have not yet begun to fight!

Very important
I agree 100% that is very important to keep this thing building beyond this campaign. There are 28 republicans that will not be seeking reelection this year. There are more races where Congressional seats will be forgotten about or left to an open primary vote because a popular Congresman/woman will be seeking a senatorial bid or a Governorship in '08 or 2010.
The Revolution can help fund these races and combined with the volunteers, Precinct Captains, and meetups we could be kingmakers in a lot of these races. Period.
In most of the aforementioned situations/Congressional races, really all we have to do is win the primaries. Most of the districts are jerryrigged by Congress to get the right kind of people to blindly pull the lever for X party. Presto! Use the machine against itself!
As long as we keep slowly building the movement, we could get our country back.
No army can stop an idea who's time has come.
many of these reps have
many of these reps have nobody running against them. Always wondered how that worked?
Daily paul also has a forum for Ron Paul Republicans in case some have missed it.
Ron Paul Republicans
This forum is devoted to information and discussion about candidates running for the House / Senate on Ron Paul's platform of liberty, peace and freedom. With RP in the White House, we need to stack the congress too!

brilliant idea!
very good,- and if you then link up with like minded people around the globe you will have an effective foreign relations department sown up too.

Constitution rEVOLution
I have a shirt I got at cafepress.com, it says "Constitution rEVOLution" on the front, and on the back
LOVE
For the Constitution
For Freedom
For Country
For Liberty
For Truth
For the Future
For America
This is the "Constitution rEVOLution" plain and simple, and I think the 'think tank' idea is great. We could have training, a university, etc. The only problem is we would be outlawed in a few years as 'radical extremists'.
So we will need to do more than this I think.
**That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
Right. Well, we can work on getting...
the other 160,000 precinct captains signed up. And we can work on getting Constitutionalists into positions as Precinct Committeemen all across the country. Then the NEXT election it can be us that has the "infrastructure" or "political machine" like the one they are always lauding the Clintons for.
Seeing what we have accomplished in such a short time span, and the amount of money we can pool, I think that we could make just incredible progress between this and the next election. We CAN change the Republican party back to a conservative, Constitution respecting party again.
One thing we can't do is continue to focus on silly internet and cell phone polls that have no power to change anything.

Track like minded candidates
All over the country. All levels of government.
State level, county level, even city level.
Money can really make a difference in local races.
If we keep running tabs on elections, and candidates. We do what we can legally to get "Ron Paul Republicans" elected. We start stacking the deck in our favor for the future.

I'll change it, just for you..
It's starting to grow on me anyway..

I want to start an umbrella non-profit
to bring together all the RP supporters after this election. The problem is that we come from so many different camps - Republicans, Libertarians, Constitution Party, and all the Conservatives who'd gone their own way, and then all the young people as well.
I'm thinking a 527 or think-tank. I think 527 is better - just like moveon.org is for the left. They have millions of members - that is why when they endorsed Obama he got $30 million practically overnight.
Definitely NOT a new Third Party!
The CP and LP hate each other as it is. We have to agree to accept our differences and work together towards our common goals.
So, what I am thinking about is a Liberty-focused 527. It will not obsess over drugs or God - that is the big difference between these 2 parties.
Right now we just have to get through the next few days!
I may be a vegetarian, but I'll defend to the death my right to eat pork!

We have plenty to do forever
Candidate Questions. Anyone wishing to be elected to office must be Constitutionaly Certified.
I call it: No Official Left Behind
Of course this will be an "Unfunded Mandated Program"
So get busy!!!!
No Official Left Behind
Ha ha ha! I love it!

Get Prepared!
Since when was the R3volution about the Campaign?
Dr. Paul has steadfastly made clear from the outset that the R3volution is not about him. This is about the future of Constitutional government and the true dream of this nation as a citizenry intent on maintaining the manifest liberty wrought for Mankind through the sacrifices and accomplishments won for us by the Founding Fathers.
It is understandable that some have complaints in these columns over the counter-intention we face from the MSM and their masters but, did you really think we would be having any degree of revolution unless actual liberty was at stake? How well did you comprehend what actual freedom and liberty were before understanding that this nation has more of it than anywhere else on the globe? Can you understand from where you are right now that your maintaining the fundamental agreements of our nation--the FOUNDING documents--are the only things keeping liberty alive inside OR outside our borders? Once this is lost within our borders it's lost everywhere! It is akin to what would be called a black hole in astronomy.
Now get this: there's no wooden ship to board and sail on to a new horizon, dear patriot. Anywhere we could go from here is less free and more hostile to the least inclination of liberty you might be harboring.
Without being too obvious, Dr. Paul's campaign is the brightest spark real Freedom has seen in many decades. The first Revolution was never really over, the R3volution we see ourselves in today is more a last flare in an overcast moonless night sky to see who notices. Too many have either been seduced or have already fallen asleep.
If you think the vast recess of the most remotely distant cosmological past is too unfathomable, what do think that quantity would be exponentially powered as a representation of the first few moments of your eternity? That's a mighty long slavery to endure to pay for a lack of foresight on staying purposeful about what's happening here right now.
Is YOUR cause clear yet?
Here's a good one: "Liberty in Our Lifetime!"
Let's build on what we got
We need to keep all existing Ron Paul web sites. Lets keep the You Tube vids, lets keep all the meetups and RP forums together. Maybe we'll rename them or something. Overall, we have to keep our network together. Let's support our Pauliticians, and continue our effort to re-program the sheeple. They'll come around eventually, but as a whole, we can get more done. RP has a book coming out, so maybe we can all work to promote it. I honestly see this as a beginning, and not as our last stand. Even if RP dosen't get the gold, they're will be other elections with a populace becomming totally fed up with the system.
Keep the mailing list
We need to elect congressmen and senators, city council members, judges and any other elected official who is a Ron Paul Republican. Actually the party doesn't matter. We need to support those that support the Constitution. And now we have a national group to do just that. A great group that's been doing that for years, but is dying out is the John Birch Society. They have some issues with everything being a conspiracy, but at the root they are all about the Constitution. www.JBS.ORG
