We've Got to EDUCATE and INCREASE OUR NUMBERS!
Submitted by Ralph Waldo on Sat, 12/06/2008 - 00:51
We have two choices. We can type, blog and stew - or - we can come together and figure out ways to educate people to INCREASE OUR NUMBERS AND PRESENCE!
Let's get it together!
My first suggestion that I am going to do is:
Develop a brochure that I can hand out that provides an overview of the RP revolution. I can hand this out to friends, family and work that will begin to WAKE PEOPLE UP!
Please Help Come Up With Ideas!

Well, here is the
response someone told me " I am only one person" then I said " yes, you are and I make two and two make four so on and so on." We have got to get people thinking they are NOT ALONE. I don't know how though.
Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.
Good answer
It's going to take a while to reach more like minded people.
The TRUE history of our country MUST
be made known to everyone if we are to obtain Liberty.
We were NOT originally a Republic, we were the Several Republics. Every Nation within the Union was a Republic. This is the ONLY mention of "Republic" within the Constitution. The Indidvidual Nations were Republics, there is nothing that in any way defined the Central Body as a Republic.
The 14th Amendment eliminated this Clause (Art.IV, Sec 4). Prior to the 14th, NO citizen had the FEDERAL right to vote, save a few Electors from each State, the State Legislatures had the power to determine how the Senate, President and Vice were elected, and which Citizens could vote for House Reps. The 14th Amendment very slyly eliminated the Republics, created a Democracy, and turn the Several Nations into districts of THE Nation. It eliminated the Nations and created A Nation. It is the Creation of a Communist USA.
13 years after publication of the Communist Manifesto the War Against the States began. 20 years after the publication of the Communist Manifesto the Several Nations became the one Nation, United States of America, a central Democracy. A Communist Nation.
The 14th Amendment was a Military Coup that overthrew our original Government, just as the Constitution was a Coup that overthrew our original government.
The Prophetic words of Patrick Henry:
When the 1787 Constitution was ready to be submitted to the Governors of the states for ratification, Patrick Henry, the immortal voice for Liberty, lectured against it in the Virginia State House for three weeks, criticizing the Constitution, warning that it had been written “as if good men will take office!” He asked “what they would do when evil men took office!” “When evil men take office, the whole gang will be in collusion,” he declared, “and they will keep the people in utter ignorance and steal their liberty by ambuscade!” He further warned that the new federal government had too much money and too much power and it would consolidate power unto itself, converting us “into one solid empire.” And the President with the treaty power would “lead in the treason.”
The US Constitution did not create a Republic of Republics, it created a Democracy of Republics.
The Constitution created a Democracy of Republics. A democracy is Majority Rule. The Articles of Confederation established UNANIMOUS CONSENT, not Democracy. The Constitution overthrew this ideal, and the ratifiaction of the Constitution was unlawful. The Constitution, by the Common Law, is null and void.
Articles of Confederation
"Article XIII. ...nor shall any alteration at any time hereafter be made in any of them; unless such alteration be agreed to in a CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES, and be afterwards confirmed by the legislatures of EVERY State."
The Constitution was declared ratified when only 9 of the original 13 Nations accepted it. This is a direct violation of the Law that was in effect, the Articles of Confederation.

Thanks for posting this, Ralph.
Education of the public should be our number one goal at this writing. That's why I support Dr. Paul running again soon.
I don't know if he is electable or not; his age shouldn't matter, because he has several strikes against him anyway...one, he is a Congressman--and the public does not elect Congressmen President--two, he is a constitutional patriot running on a rich, powerful political party that is hellbent on tearing the constitution apart. If the GOP were redeemable our movement never would have evolved in the first place; we would, instead, still be a gaggle of sound-asleep Rush Limbaugh conservatives and scattered Libertarians debating how best to get one percent of the vote.
Last year, there were a lot of false hopes, not least among them the inability to separate reality from fantasy. I recall biting my tongue as late as midsummer, while people still wove elaborate spiderwebs of cotton candy floss, describing how John McCain would be thrown out by the GOP establishment or challenged at an 'open convention'. Or McCain would resign because he was in ill health, being so damn old (in reality he was a year younger than Ron Paul, and had a healthy 90-year old mother).
The truth is all this elaborate fantasy was unnecessary. The contest was over as early as Super Tuesday. I saw the handwriting on the wall as early as the New Hampshire primary. I knew he wasn't going to win the GOP nomination. That's why I had such high hopes he would run Libertarian. But even if he had, he wouldn't have won the general election.
I don't know if any candidate we pin our hopes to can win--with this sort of mainstream media, with the card deck stacked against third parties, and with the ever-present possibility of voter fraud on a massive scale. That doesn't mean we should stop trying. The more exposure our candidates get, the more our ideas spread. The power structure has no defense against ideas.

I have a question here: can
I have a question here: can we stick to the message but at the same time offer those that don't know about what's going on a dose of good vibes? I'm just wondering since it might work, I think I'll try it from now on it doesn't hurt to try. :)
I'm not exactly sure what you are saying.
Can you elaborate?
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I
Sorry, I wasn't clear, Ralph. I meant that what if we can tell people about the message of freedom with facts about what our government has done to it but with a good dose of hope. You know, I think in some cases, we've told people about what's going on but possibly making the impression that we're pessimists. That's what I meant, sorry to get tangled up.
I think you are right
Some people don't like to hear it in pessimistic terms.
WE MUST ALL BE ACTIVE ON REBUILD THE PARTY!
We must all be active on www.rebuildtheparty.com . If we stick to the issues, and intelligently explain our positions we will be successful! TRUTH AND REASON IS ON OUR SIDE! NEVER FORGET THAT!
I have been extremely active on that site, and I have been away from this site in order to spend my time there...we need to intelligently state our case there in order to bring more people to our side!
"the truth will set you free."
see you there, my name is "young Jeffersonian Republican"....
I thought you were a Bob Barr Libertarian.
The Libertarian Party is actually the one that needs rebuilding now--it is now in danger of going into the ashbin of history.
The Republican Party (which SHOULD go into the ashbin of history, but won't) doesn't need rebuilding--it wasn't badly damaged enough in the election to even force its leaders to engage in self-examination. They realize that after the disaster of the falling economy--and any potential future blunders from Obama, like touching the third rail of gun control--their odds of retaking both Congress and the presidency in 2012 are fairly good.

A new national poll, not
A new national poll, not that polls mean much, for the 2012 Presidential GOP choices for President as:
Huckabee -34%
Palin - 32%
Romney - 28%
Gingrich - 27%
Guiliani -19%
Dr. Paul - 0% ranking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps we should wake up and decide if we are really here for the rEVOLution or not.

Sarah Palin is the GOP Right's answer to Hillary Clinton.
I.e., the female candidate they are uniting behind, who the MSM cannot resist.
Whether she ends up losing to a man in the primaries and being fobbed off with Secretary of State, I have no idea.

I have been posting on our county republican forum
As I suspected, they are mostly mindless Hannity and Limbaugh clones. Pitiful. They cannot compete with and do not understand our message yet. I am hoping that over time I can make major inroads into the local Republican party. They agree 80% with us. But the problem is ignorance of the constitution and what is going on. But what would you expect from people who get their news and poitical commentary only from the two people mentioned above.
With these efforts you guys are giving me hope
that the movement is moving forward. It seems once you get the basic understanding of what is going on, you can't help but try to tell others. I often can't keep my mouth shut!
Always on it!
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance, and everyday I talk to somebody w/the hope that enlightenment favors that special someone; and, guess what, something happens where I'll get a call from someone who wants to know a little bit more about what I was talking about. It feels like the message is going at a snails pace, yet, the person who calls back w/questions who wants more info makes me even more hopeful!

Liberty Newsletter
Hey Folks,
I'm a long time DP reader, but first time poster.
I completely agree with this thread and have recently developed a small newsletter devoted to social and economic liberty for my local area. Basically just so we could have a local voice of liberty and something educational to give to people in our community.
We released our first issue a few weeks ago and will be handing out copies tomorrow in downtown Lawrence, KS to holiday shoppers. I encourage all of you to do the same thing in your communities. Our local media totally ignores the liberty movement and we have decided to take matters in our own hands.
If you would like to be on our mailing list and get a free copy of the State of Freedom simply send us an email to thestateoffeedom@yahoo.com
also check us out at www.myspace.com/thestateoffreedom
On a sidenote, big thanks to the community here at DP, you all are an incredible asset!
"Let the Revolution begin" -- Dr. Ron Paul
"Let the Revolution begin" -- Dr. Ron Paul
Fantastic Dude!
That is an excellent idea and website. You might want to post a request on the DP for writers.
this is an interesting idea --
create our own individual grassroots media, in additon to continuing efforts to influence the MSM and in addition to supporting freedom media already working hard to spread the message. So many people did great creative projects during the early Ron Paul r3VOLution. What was best then was that messages had a spirit of fun and love and joy -- an infectious exhuberance that really drew people.
Times are much harder now, and we now know how desperate the fight is. Even though our messages now may be more intense, I still think we are the ones who have a true positive message to give the world, and the more positively we express it, the more people will see the benefits of freedom.
I agree
Love your words!
Why would we need to do that Ralph?
According to one of your other posts, we have nothing to worry about. The U.S. military will save us all. After all, nobody can touch us. We have the strongest military in the world. I won't be coming to your house when the shit hits the fan. I will be giving each family member a gun, and an assignment. Good luck. Hope the military saves you, in the FEMA camps.
You are misunderstanding my position!
The US military is being used by the elite to dominate other countries. Even though it is still the biggest and baddest in the world and no one will attack us, our resources should be used to provide peace and prosperity in the world. It is much better to build peace than destruction.
I quote - "Blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called the children of God".
Read Eisenhower's "Cross of Iron" speech from 1953 and you will see that even the greatest military figure of his time promoted peace over war!
It seems that a major part of the Ron Paul message...
is to stay out of other countries and NOT "use our resources" to "provide peace and prosperity in the world". Should we not take care of our own house cleaning first and for most?
Am I missing your point?
I feel we should "just say no" to alliances that lead to foreign entanglements. Offer advice when asked but NEVER use our resources to provide prosperity for the world. We can show them the way to life, liberty and lead them by example to prosperity and peace.
Is this not the true way provided us by our founding fathers?
I agree
We need to set the example by taking care of our own first!
Then...
Sorry about that, I misunderstood.

I would like something like that I can hand out, hang up and leave places. I know there's a lot of interested people out there, they just need to see it.

Like your idea!
Each can download the brochure and make photocopies. It is a great idea and can include the kind of society we choose as a global community, based on the freedoms of the constitution as opposed to what others may try to impose on us. When it all falls apart we need to make sure we choose how we want to rebuild. This is our world and not just for the politicians or the elite.
I LOVE
Your last sentence - You should start a thread with that!
Thanks.
Your post is doing just fine and covers the topic!
