A Real Solution. Perhaps Our Last Chance at Peacful Change?

0 votes

We have all been clamoring for a solution to all these problems as we watch our economy melt down, continued war with threats of more war, and the brisk march toward a police state.

I think most people agree perhaps the biggest problem is ignorance and apathy of the majority of people? Many have mentioned sarcastically but truthfully that we need to cut off their cable TV and beer etc. then there will be blood in the streets. Herein lies a possible solution...

Most of us don’t really want blood in the streets because we know many of us will suffer along with the ignorant because of their ignorance. So our last chance to change things peacefully is to educate the public, however our attempts to do that have largely been ignored in the mainstream media driven society. We have had great success on the internet however I think we are at a point of diminishing returns. Our canvassing efforts have done well but they are slow and cumbersome and not enough of us will step up and do it as necessary.

As an example there has been a lot of noise about going 3rd party or independent etc. but where are the organized precinct walks and internet fire like when we were working on Dr. Paul’s campaign? They are non existent. I am not putting these ideas down it’s just that most of us are spent on many of these things and unless we see a massive effort we just can’t afford to put as much time in as we were for the campaign. we have to tend to our lives that for many of us have sort of been on hold during the campaign.

So how do we reach the people? Well we have learned that most people still get their news from TV and generally believe what they hear to a large degree even though they know something is wrong. However the Media has largely ignored us and when they do cover us they marginalize and often ridicule us. So what is the solution?

The solution is what we should have done from the beginning. We need an infomercial! Like a short version of DVD’s for delegates or even Freedom to fascism. Imagine G. Edward Griffin or Ron Paul educating the masses on the Federal Reserve and the economic crisis instead of just preaching to the choir as happens most of the time?

We need to put together a pitch in and start buying time in local markets and start educating the population. We could have a couple of different videos and switch them up from time to time. If people start seeing this regularly even if it’s only a couple times a month we will wake more people up. Have some websites to send them too and an 800 number for more info for those who are not web savvy .

We could consolidate the movement this way and instead of scattering our energies in many different directions that dilutes our impact we can focus much of our energies in perhaps the most important area we need to; our fellow Americans and educate them.

We cannot rely on the Campaign for Liberty to do this we must take initiative like was done with the High Tide video and DVD’s for delegate etc. Yes it might be too little too late but let it not be said that we did nothing, that we failed to try. I have my doubts we will step up and do this but I would be willing to contribute regularly if perhaps the High Tide folks or DVD’s for delegate folks or both wanted to head this up?

This is the only way I can see we can reach the masses with our message in the shortest amount of time. People can donate 10, 20, or more as they can afford and we buy spots as we can afford. A consistent concerted sustained effort could turn the tide and the fact that it is on regular TV gives it credibility to many of the masses.

It's a good idea, but there's still 1 problem...

In order for it to be effective you still have to get the sleeping masses to watch it. Putting it on TV isn't going to make any difference unless you can entice people to watch it. With all of the entertainment programming on TV today, getting someone to watch something political is going to be almost impossible. If these people were inclined to watch this sort of program, they'd probaqbly already be somewhat educated. Maybe not...

Anyway, that's just my opinion.

I completely agree. I was just wondering to myself the other day...I'll jaw all day long to people about Ron Paul. Matter of fact, most my family and friends like to ask me/give me a hard time about my candidate. But its important to notice that they DO ask questions.

They can hear my answers all day, but a lot of common folks aren't comfortable running out and looking up DailyPaul or CampaignforLiberty.com after I try to convince them. They smile and turn the channel back to Fox....

So YES, lets try to get some advertising space, and if we need a product to sell (other than Liberty) we can use the occasion to push some of our favorite reading materials!

And you're spot on about the lack of energy being put forth for these third parties. Thats because we havent figured out how to communicate this strange new approach to everyday americans...and even ourselves to a certain extent.

Like, what kind of signs are you going to hold up on the corner explaining why others should vote 3rd party? Well, its all marketing. And so I just started this blog: http://donttread2008.blogspot.com where I am posting good 3rd party unity designs. If noone else likes em, you'll find me passing em out around gas stations, bulletin boards, and person to person.

The republicrats have their donkey/elephant logos, we need something that ALL third parties can point to and say "Thats me!" My initial thoughts centered around the "Dont Tread" snake. If we can get air time/get motivated to take to the steets and say "Dont tread on me!" I think people will undertstand more clearly what it is we're voting for when we say we're going 3rd party. Protest Vote!

Anyways, I love your idea and would happily donate time and money to it.

Find some old RP clips.

I'm thinking some archive Ron Paul clips predicting the chaos were in now might be a good attention-getter. The older, the better.

Little time left, tho.
