I called and spoke with Gallup to ask how they determine who makes a poll like the one that was just released for the 2012 Republican nomination. I was told by a staffer that it was based on the news worthiness and attention a potential candidate is getting. She then went on to ask me if my inquiry was for a news article, and if so, she added that she didn't want to be quoted (so I won't mention her name here).

She suggested that a better place to call would be to the people that actually make those decisions and gave a few names to call at the Gallup Princeton location, where she said the editorial board is based. Specifically she said to contact Dr. Frank Newport, the Editor-in-Chief of Gallup. She also suggested a second name - Jeff Jones. We need to spread this far and wide to every freedom-minded American, that this type of exclusion will not go un-noticed or un-protested this time around.

I suggest, if necessary, a out-right national rally outside Gallup's headquarters, if they continue to exclude Ron Paul into the future. Dr. Paul is certainly more significant than Tim Pawlenty? or Haley Barbour? I've never even heard of them, for heavens sake.

This past Saturday, Michigan's 1st. District Congressman, Bart Stupak, held two town hall meetings in Cheboygan and Petoskey. It's Bart Stupak's long-standing policy that the recording of his "public" meetings is prohibited unless you are "credentialed media". Constituents are NOT allowed to tape his meetings for re-broadcast or posting on public websites like YouTube. This, alone, is reason enough to replace Bart in 2010.

Alex Jones has made this available to everyone to watch online for FREE - I've simply made it easy to get to the movie fast.

Email your family, friends, and fellow patriots and tell the to go to www.ObamaDeception.tv to watch the movie.

Let's drive traffic to the site. So far, in just a few days, folks from 17 different countries have hit the site with 83% of the traffic from the US. The numbers are still relative low, with 451 unique users in 3 days.

We must crank it up - the marketing of Liberty, Freedom, and the (true) American way. I sit here as I work at my computer all day, check into DP and other sites to see the news, and ask myself, "What can I do to make a difference?" It's a question all of us are asking, over and over. What ACTION steps? What tools? What marketing venue?

This post started out as "Your Favorite Patriot" but has morphed, in my mind, to "Your Favorite Pariot - Your Most Despised American Traitor".

I've asked this for a reason, and I appreciate your input. Thank you so much for posting a response. I have a motivation for doing this and would like your opinions, thoughts, and ideas.

For those of you who've yet to 'wean' yourselves from the Tabloid Media, here's your chance. Introducing the Ron Paul Money Dump.

Trash your subscriptions to your cable, satellite, and tabloid news publications - let's do a mass cancellation on February 1st. and
'dump' all those devalued federal reserve notes into the Ron Paul campaign.

And every month, on the first, until either he becomes president, or until there becomes another place to put them to fuel this movement, continue to dump those funds.

I suggested this back in May - an idea that was maybe a bit premature in it's timing...a targeted boycott of the tabloid media that's routinely either shut Dr. Paul out, or smeared his good name.

I watched the 'Hacking Democracy'. This is a must for every American, regardless of your preference of candidate. We MUST take this process back from the secret corporations.

Like you don't already have enough to do...I'm suggesting we ALL take it on ourselves to do our own county audits. I found this link that gives some overview of the basics. Maybe Bev from Black Box Voting can give us some more pointers on her website.

If you happen to get locked in a meat cooler tonight and can't get to the internet tomorrow to give, remember, remember, the toll-free number - 1-877-RON-PAUL.

Donations over the phone WILL be included in the official daily numbers. The campaign said that on November 5th. $200K came in over the phone. That number could be significantly higher with the easy-to-remember toll-free number.

Eating din-din at Grandma's house? Taking a long road trip? Internet service turned off 'cuz you didn't pay your bill (donating instead to Ron Paul)? Don't forget - give over the phone!

The TeaParty07 website obviously will NEVER have this number on it. I think it's a shame that Trevor has decided himself not to post it as an alternative way to donate to the campaign on December 16th. (and any other day for that matter). The TeaParty site states that the ONLY way to donate to the campaign is via the web - which is not true.

Listen to automated message from Mrs. Paul, followed by the 877-RON-PAUL toll-free number.

TeaParty07.com has not posted this number as non-internet way to donate to campaign. This will cost the campaign lost donations. Someone who knows Trevor - please ask him to post this, and the mailing address also so that folks have every possible way to donate this month.

Press Release: Ron Paul Wins Big

Straight from www.RonPaul2008.com - Great News!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 7, 2007

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Presidential candidate Ron Paul today won the Coalition for New Hampshire Taxpayers (CNHT) straw poll at their annual picnic in Hopkinton, New Hampshire. Dr. Paul received 182 of 294 votes cast, or 65 percent. In second place was Rudy Giuliani with 24 votes, or 8 percent.

Great job everyone in getting Mr. Beltram to change his position and 'allow' Ron Paul to come to Spartanburg. I wonder if Mr. Beltram had a chance to talk this over with Ed Failor???

A thought occurred to me about Ron Paul ruling the internet. For the past 10 years, I've watched this behemoth thing called the internet grow exponentially - everyone is online now-a-days - the internet is HUGE!

An update for those who haven't heard yet - the attempt to shove an amnesty bill down the throats of Americans has failed in the U.S. Senate. The people of American rose up and faxed, called, emailed, and wrote letters to their representatives in Congress. Fearing the backlash of the people, 18 senators who previously voted yes to pass this legislation, switched their vote to "NO". Chalk one up for the people. Next on the agenda - Get Congressman Paul nominated as the Republican nominee for President.
