The RP movement desperately needs a full-time plan to increase our numbers. While the other political factions will be hibernating until the next election cycle, the RP movement could be advancing the cause with a non-stop, continuous and ongoing effort. A well thought-out strategic plan with the necessary funding would give the movement a big advantage in the next political battle.
Here are the current numbers by political party:
Registered Democrats - 86 million
Registered Republicans - 55 million
Registered Others - 28 million
RP Supporters - ???
Total Registered - 169 million

I'd like to propose an idea
I'd like to propose an idea I have. We use money bombs for political campaigns, why not use money bombs for things like healthcare, housing, etc.?
CHARITY!!
If we can organize money bombs, marches, rallies etc, etc.. I don't think it will be too hard to organize a charity event. How about starting small in your own neighborhood ---meet with a handful of people from the meet up groups, put on your C4L t- shirts and mow the lawn of the local elderly couple who just can't keep up. If we do enough of this --nationwide-- we will get respect and never ever be marginalized.
This is my goal this year in the Orange and Los Angeles County area.
Great idea
My wife and I have been doing things like this for a while.
I mean before we got involved with Ron Paul.
People helping other people is the thing that will get us out of this mess eventually. Helping others voluntarily, and not because the government says we have to, with our tax dollars.

Money money money!
there is no way to get enough money unles we play the corperate game
Nobody will have any money that is worth anything. It is going to have to be numbers . People who really get the message and are willing to stand up for it.
That is an excellent thing to do and could become
a superb PR event as well.
Winning Hearts and Minds
We Paulistas have what it takes to win minds. But what do we do to win hearts?
Charity and more charity and good deeds. If we do this --everything else will follow--money, votes, etc..
you guys do know there is an organization
Fortune Favors the Bold
that has specific recruitment goals and an organizational strategy right?

Stay on Topic
Chemtrails, UFOs, Truthers, Gold bugs be gone!
The message is simple and sweet. Stay on topic, they will come.

Look at this like Informational Warfare!
We are going against the best funded and most ruthless political spin machine in history. Remember all of the dirty tricks of the campaign?
By refusing to acknowledge the advanced level of the competition, we will continue to labor under the same illusions that will lead to the same results as last time.
If we are going to fight in the big leagues, we have to have a big league team and plan that will out smart the competition! One advantage would be a full time campaign!
That may be
possible but we have to do it on the cheap.
We can use some of their tools against them
Most of them have websites.
Some are fiercely moderated, some are not.
Many Newspapers have comment sections. I comment all the time, all over the country..Most of the time I use my Daily Paul name, Thundercloud.
Because newspapers are horribly understaffed, they don't have time to moderate. I don't think I have ever had a comment deleted.
I don't always mention Ron Paul...But I do spread his common sense around, as best as I can. They don't have to know where it came from.
Remember Your TV is not evil, The internet is not evil, Newsprint is not evil.
The evil is in the way that it is used.

I think we should give out
I think we should give out pocket constitutions in front of stores and information about Ron Paul, the Daily Paul, Campaign for Liberty, and Commities of safety. Because almost everyone goes to the store and we need to increace the importance of the constitution.

I know that this is just throwing gasoline on the fire...
But isn't money-bombing ourselves basically communism?
And as for attracting more people-
Drop 9/11 truth, End the Fed, etc.
Put the emphasis on legalization of drugs and less surveillance. Do a little public relations. Find out what the majority of the population wants. Find where your wants and their wants match up. You might be suprised on just how much you have in common.
Then, just hit em with it. Over and over again. But make it something that they already agree with.
CHA-CHING!
Gasoline
I am with you Joe, but they have money and we do not. They will continue to bleed us dry until we have nothing . We must take care of supporters first to feed the campaign. You may have a point about the communism thing, but I can't think of a better idea to insure our people are looked out for while thieves rob our nation. We must join as one and show others that we take care of our own . That will attract more people that will see it as a real movement of Americans. That is all I could come up with to save us and nation. Maybe someone has something better.
Well I think that's what Obama sold and it seems to have worked
out pretty well for him...
I agree though. It's just your going to have a really hard time
A). Making a system like that work
B). Justifying it
CHA-CHING!
Money Bomb
I'd love to be part of a million dollar money bomb, it would be some sacrifice but we gotta prove a point.
Plan
Money bomb ourselves. All those that gave on the first money bomb , let's bomb ourselves rich . We will make the middle class first again. Show the people of America that one group of loyal Ron Paul supporters saved America, not the Obama administration . Simply put money back into the revolution and it's troops. An army marches on it's stomach .
Aggression
let's sue! Let's be the most litigious bunch of bastards and nip at the heels of gov't!
We need to build political strength and political will.
apparently
walmart gets crowds of people breaking down doors to get cheap electronics.
Maybe we can offer free gold coins
plan
Start a new online money bomb to bailout all Ron Paul supporters. When the troops are taken care of , The campaign begins. First we money bomb ourselves all rich, or in better shape than we are in right now. Second ,but before we get our first check 30% goes to the Ron Paul campaign , for T.V., Radio, and print ads. When the people see that much unity They will really be interested . Wouldn't it be nice sitting at home looking at a fat paycheck from the Ron Paul Revolution ,then flipping on your T.V. to watch Ron Paul commercial every hour on the hour ?. Dare to dream! ....P.S. somebody really put this together. I think it is our only hope .
THE ULTIMATE PLAN OF ACTION -- MOOHOOHOOWAHWAHWAHA
Einstein said "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results," is the definition of what?
Here's what we did in '07 (which was awesome as a first attempt):
1) Protested - 2) Blimp - 3) Tri-Folds - 4) DVD - 5) Delegates - 6) Youtubed Like Crazy - 7) Pushed 911-Truth - 8) Obama-Birthers - 9) Chemtrails - 10) Over 200,000 Diggs - 11) Blogged up the Ying-Yang - 12) Beat up Lincoln - 13) Raised up Robert E. Lee - 14) Did I say Pumped 911-Truth - and 15) For a Minute were the Money Bomb Kings
All of the above got us less than 3% of the vote. *ahem*
More likely than not we will do all of the above again.
Alternatives? Yes
Complete Change of Tactics
1) "VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS"
2) "FORM A CONSUMER UNION"
3) "CREATE an "MLM - ENTREPRENEURIAL - MASTER MIND GROUP TEMPLATE" TO REPLACE "MEETUPS"
-------For the purpose of wealth generation, social networking, and membership enticement (we can't just sit in groups making signs - let's make money together and have a far simpler message and agenda).
I'm just saying maybe a completely new tactic with a simpler message and enticing "fringe" benefits to membership and participation might work better than giving lectures on Austrian Economics, the Founding Fathers, and that "riviting" document the Constitution.
Less than 3% will think its fun to study the latter -- 97% follow "benefit" and "simple messages"

"How can we justify to the unemployed and underemployed in the United States the incredible cost of maintaining a global empire?" - Dr. Ron Paul
Liberty Ads!! woo!
Remember how much fun it was to slide money towards different cities, where grassroots people were taking out Full page ads for the primaries?
And how we worked together. Creating the ads, paying for them..Giving each other virtual high fives, for a job well done.
I miss that.
So..I propose we do it all over again.
Make C4L, Ron Paul, Self sufficiency, freedom..all those great things.
Let's make them household words again! Let's cause people to talk about them.
Picture a guy looking at his 401k statement (for example), smacking himself on the Forehead.
The caption reads:
I coulda hadda Ron Paul!
Followed by a list of things that Paul was and still is, correct about.
"He warned us against _________, and he was right"
"he spoke about ____________, and he was right"
"he talked about _____________, and he was right"
"I don't endorse anything they say"

the full-time plan to increase our numbers...
can be found here http://www.committeesofsafety.org/
The Committees are focusing on the things that will provide freedom and “Security of a free State”
What is the Committees of Safety about? Listen to Edwin Vieira explain it, from the Alex Jones show:
http://www.dailypaul.com/node/78370
Why?
Ron Paul remains quiet in Congress, while the constitution is being raped...
Ron Paul stood by with no objection as a man who would only provide a recently created partial birth certification from a state with flaky certification laws, who himself admits he was a dual UK-US citizen at birth, and likely was an Indonesian citizen, and blocked all avenues of verification using legal technicalities was certified for the US presidency.
SHAME SHAME SHAME Ron Paul

The C4L is moving forward. There is a lot more going on with the C4L than you might guess if you are not a part of things and just look at the website.
There are some big things planned so stay tuned.
