Daddy WarBucks: It's Starting To Happen - They're Looking For Answers REDUX
Submitted by Daddy WarBucks on Tue, 03/18/2008 - 21:08
Yesterday while I was trading a neighbor rings my doorbell.
He's a retired Marine and Pennsylvania State Trooper - describes himself as a recovering socialist Democrat.
He's worried about Ron Paul. Wants to know how the campaign is going.
After about an hour - he leaves with Ron Paul yard signs.
This is the guy who jogs around the neighborhood - talks to everybody - wears the 80's sweatband and has been demonstrating against the Iraq War for three years outside our Congressman's office.
EDIT FOR THE RAGER'S:
The comfortable middleclass ain't so comfortable anymore and they're looking for answers.

Another Banker...
My wife is so good at getting these bankers engaged in this conversation.
Today she had the fourth bank vice president asking for more information. The bank lady even apologized for being a part of the housing debacle.

High School Teachers PISSED
Sitting in a high school teachers lounge last week ( teachers are usually very opinionated and in a lunch table discussion you'll get a rainbow of highly devoted viewpoints). This past week... I started to talk about the economy and they listened, they didn't interrupt, they soaked it all in.
I was not prepared to have such an easy time leading the direction of the casual discussion. All in all, they were all very upset with our elected leaders. They were all feeling the pinch in the wallet. Not a single one jumped up and exclaimed how their Hillary or the wonderful Obama was the magic fix. Yes the population is waking up.
My entrepreneurial efforts have been in the online salvage parts business. All of my pals in the salvage business ( a very bright crowd ) have seen the writing on the wall for some time now. General comment from the "recyclers" has been "we're getting a good screwing aren't we". Got Junk ?
Being a sub teacher allows me to travel when and where I need to as an entrepreneur... and working with our youth has been both a grand experience and a eye opener.

I Love Teachers... I was a teacher for 15 years
But sometimes they can be astonishingly dumb about what's really going on.
They often are in a closed thinking environment with no 'fresh air'.
But thank God for people like you, who have the courage to consider alternative viewpoints. And the guts to alter the thinking of those who's information flow has been arrested.
When I was 25, after 5 years of teaching and working in a private school, I had the opportunity to buy my own small private school. So I got a crash course in being the "boss" and dealing with the "sheep". I realized what a pain in the butt I had been to the administrators I worked under before.
I was often amazed to see how few of my staff were willing to think outside the box. But eventually we blended and we had professors from graduate schools begging to allow their students to come to our school and observe our teaching methods.
We didn't think there was anything extraordinary about what we did. For instance we built a farm and used small farm animals to help children learn. We had children with speech and emotional difficulties overcoming their issues in just several months.
It was the most rewarding work I've ever done and I want to do more of it, now that I am a grandfather.

Love your teaching concept
Your teaching concept sounds very much like my friends' private school in
Spokane, WA. As far as I know, they are the only school in the country with this novel approach to education. Every time I visit them and their school, I pray that all children will one day have an opportunity to learn in the same type of environment. The founder based their school on a model in southern Italy. Their website is www.northwallschools.com. I have been bugging them for several years to expand their school, but so far I have not been successful.

"Nothing is as it appears; everything is smoke and mirrors"
We should remeber
that most of today's teachers were raised, taught, and educated to follow the propaganda taught to them in fed funded schools.
Occasionally, we get one who has stepped outside the box and researched on his own.
God Bless Teachers! Just keep enlightening them! We, brain-on folks knew when the economy tanked and it is obvious where it started.
Don't ya love
when people come to you because they know where you stand? You don't have to do anything but walk the talk and eventually the curious will respectfully ask and listen and work right along side you.
Slow and steady...

Spam the High Tide Commercial!
I've been embedding the High Tide Video at Google (High Tide also has a website), with an invitation to all my friends to watch the video for the incredible graphics, if nothing else. If all DAILY PAUL subscribers would do the same (particularly those with friends in PA and other states with upcoming primaries), we can really make a difference, maybe even win the popular vote.
Great Bob-45! But this really
needs to be seen on the MSM Boob Tube by people who aren't Internet dwellers. Maybe you could link to the chip-in page so it can be aired in Pennsylvania right before the primaries, as is High Tide's plan. Only 3 weeks to go & they're still $1500 short.
Is Ron going to come to
PA again?
I'd like to see another rally in Philadelphia.
It seems like he responds to large events that don't depend
on him being the only key speaker.

Where's the Millionaire?
Hey, here's an idea-pay hightide promo the $5000.00 to spread their commercial across PA. That's all they need to make sure the major metropolitan areas get to see the promotion. Prove to us you're at least a thousandaire-if you can.
If you can't spend $5000.00 on this than what good are you? Really, spreading lies about your wealth undermines your credibility.

jshowell RE: Where's the Millionaire?
If you're so wise and all knowing, then you must know where to get the resources to use for your pet project. So go do it.
I know I don't have anything I need to prove to a cackler like yourself.
Did it ever occur to you that $5,000 or even $50,000 doesn't amount to a spit in the ocean for TV airtime?
You're just like every other flamer on this site - hot air.
Go ahead, put up or shut up. Then you'll at least be able to watch the commercial yourself, the few times it will be aired.
And quit stalking me or you'll be gone off this site like others who have done what you do.

cost:
Razorwind Studios is an official endorser of Ron Paul, and we will live free or die! 14th alternate to MN state!

I called up fox, and for a 60 second spot nationally during primetime, it costs $40,000.
To run it for one week, it would cost $280,000.

Our media buyer is working directly with local cable companies and getting better quotes. Companies like Comcast can run ads for less money and you don't know the difference. The ads run between major shows on the Comcast network.
Thanks

We must educate them first.
"The comfortable middleclass ain't so comfortable anymore and they're looking for answers."
This is where the message is even more important than Ron Paul. We can not allow finger pointing and scapegoating at the Muslims or the Jews or the liberals or the rich or the illegal immigrants or the Chinese or the Indians or the the Mexicans or those darn Canadians or whoever. If things get bad, people will be desperate for answers. We must be prepared to educate people that it's our spend thrift government with the help of the fed that put us in this mess and therefore we are ultimately responsible for letting the politicians behave this way. Accepting one's own responsibility is a difficult pill to swallow, but I believe will be necessary. So it's going to be us to spread the message. It'll be up to us to be vigilant watching for any signs of scapegoating.
Welcome back DaddyWarBucks
Glad to see you are back, DaddyWarBucks. There are few who can stay focused, on point and positive while being chewed upon by the Peanut Gallery. You have my support.
Yes, we have a few months in which to gather more momentum in the Ron Paul Liberty Train. Those of us who've been in the trenches a while are not swayed by the MSM lies and deceptions. We keep on keeping on. More people are being awakened everyday and it is possible to awaken more between now and November than we have awakened to date. I'm counting on it.
The infamous Miss Beauty Contest video went round the world and we all got to see an ughly side of America. For those who think she was a lone case or that our waking-up job is a roaring success look again.

I am ashamed America has this level of disconnect from reality and our over-rated school system is obviously such a complete failure. We have far too much work yet to do for us to be bickering amongst ourselves. Our work locally has morphed from getting Ron Paul elected to educating our neighbors. It is shocking to see how low the awareness level is concerning even the basic concepts of government, history, money and especially property.
Dr. Ron Paul is curing America's ignorance.

You nailed it. It's all about focus and paying attention. Then acting with surgical precision.

And...
And ya need the Vince Lombardi "winning team mentality" just as much.
Those who "know it all" are too busy running their yappers to see the hole that they are sitting in. I know my country has been side swiped, and if I myself do not dig in, lower my shoulder and hit this problem with all I have... otherwise I just might have to live with the "very little" that our "leaders of tomorrow" figure they can cough up. Translated: These politicians of today don't give much back... instead it's a take and grab greedfest.

what happened to the media blitz on monday?
Fortune Favors the Bold
I learned my lesson
Don't discuss anything with most of the people on this site.
Believe it or not I take the flaming personally.
So we are proceeding in private.
I've taken down all the other posts so I don't have to listen to the nonsense.
"PunJab! Bring me my checkbook!"

I understand why.....
Many people find it hard to believe in something they cant see. (BTW yours magazine looks great)
Don't take it personally, I do Holistic Health Care, and was doing it before most people even knew what Holistic was-or is. You just have to know what is the truth inside, and ignore those that don't yet know what that truth is.
Good Luck on your Ron Paul Ad Campaign, when you find it to be the best time,etc . to make it happen.
DaddyWarBucks I Am The One That Killed Your Post About......
Freedom Fortress at restore the republic. It's a great idea but when the first line on their map page reads:
"Our hope of electing Ron Paul will inevitably fade from our minds, but our commitment to liberty and limited government must not! "
I will not tolerate it,period. I have already contacted them about this and if they do not change it I will declare war on them. I am now in the process of going through the site to see who they really are and will proceed from there.

Thomas RE: Freedom Fortress
You didn't kill the Freedom Fortress thread.
I killed it.
And I killed it to take away your opportunity to bash something that's only in it's infancy.
Constructive criticism is one thing, but you behaved like a 'dumper'.
Dumpers don't make a difference. They just dump.
Even Ron Paul would approve of the thought you took ssue with; "Our hope of electing Ron Paul will inevitably fade from our minds, but our commitment to liberty and limited government must not! "
Even Ron Paul knows this is not a battle of personalities but a battle of principles.
Even Ron Paul knows he is a mere mortal man who's time on this earth is nearing it's end.
And whether he is president or not this revolution will go on.
Just maybe you can't 'tolerate' the reality that this revolution was never about Ron Paul and it never will be about Ron Paul, as much as we all admire, respect and love him.
Restore The Republic will prove itself to be THE catalyst for the continuation of the restoration of this country.
Restore the Republic is the source of the documentary, America: Freedom-To -Fascism. No other entity has providded the 'starter' that A-F-T-F has for this revolution.
The 'who' behind Restore The Republic is the late Aaron Russo. It is now directed by Gary Franchi.

Good
Thomas.
Peace is THE unifying message
with the "liberals." I think we could win over a lot of Democrats if they knew how Ron Paul felt about foreign policy. There is this "Republican = warmonger" mindset out there right now for some reason...
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
The democrat
I recently argued with a woman, to no avai, who said that she could not possibly vote republican because she does not believe in the rich screwing the poor. How cliche and uneducated can one get? I was civil in everything I said, but her buddist sensitivities certainly took a beating from the tongue lashing I received from her. She wanted no part of education or reason or articles or videos or words from people in the know, much less me!
