Comment: That's important

You raise an important matter for consideration.

I just got up after sleeping an hour or so and finding a very good submission of new pics by someone who was in Houston tonight, I added those 20 or so new Pics to the Slideshow here.

Another one of the few people who SHARE did so, and I was glad to see those PICS and so I stayed up to add them.

Right now, this post has 237 comments (which is a fairly high number compared with most posts on Daily Paul, but far lower than some other posts I've done).

AND, it has 56 Tweets, 60 likes on Facebook a whole 4 Google+ and 0 on Redditt and zero stumbles.

Most of the Tweets and Facebook (always the whopping majority) are from my own literal hours spent plugging away on Facebook and Twitter.

I have Twitter users who Retweet (not enough, but several at least).

And what about the Daily Paul people?

Google+ is almost always unused here, as are the other very helpful Sharing tools built right into Daily Paul.

Folks love to Vote Up or Down, some even do so with a vengeance...especially those who seem to be happiest and most boastful when they are denouncing one thing or another.

But, almost no one shares.

I've had a couple films lately which have garnered literally tens of thousands of views...same thing on the sharing...almost zip.

Do people here understand the concept of electioneering?

Do people here actually give a rat's ass?

SHARE People!

This isn't anything new under the sun.

New tools, new technology make it far, far easier to do actual political outreach, the real stuff, not posting another inane comment about how someone else ought to do something you think is important...but ACTUALLY doing some outreach of your own.

THAT is winning...NOT sitting and taking, and taking, and taking and giving nothing in return.

It's so bleepin' easy to SHARE this stuff.

I'd make it even more simple if I were more expert at provoking the SHARE response in people...but I doubt that'd actually address the real problem.

The real problem is that the overwhelming majority of Daily Paul people TAKE in all this and spew out NONE of it.

They don't actually even SHARE it with their closest friends, much less find strangers with whom to SHARE.

And don't try and make an argument out of it. The numbers are right there at the top of this post, the top of many other very good posts here at Daily Paul.

The numbers don't lie.

The vast majority of Ron Paul supporters don't SHARE information with a soul. NOT with one bleepin' soul.

The numbers aren't rigged, I have no control over them, they are determined by the Google god and the people who run the tools built into Daily Paul, not by mere mortals like me and others here who post very useful SHAREABLE stuff.

The numbers don't lie.

Close friends AND strangers make up the electorate.

ALMOST ALL OF those people know nothing about Ron Paul except what Wolf and his Mainstream cohorts tell them, which is very little and mostly incorrect.

SHARING is outreach to voters. THAT is another way of saying Activism.

It is NOT active to read the Daily Paul...NOT in the least, NOT if you don't SHARE what you learn here, what you find here.

THAT is the whole reason I'm making the films and spending the very long hours covering these speeches.

Michael Nystrom and his many helpers at Daily Paul even recently added very attractive, even cute symbols at the top of every post here, probably to get people to use them more often.

Are you going to go off now and post another inane comment somewhere about how Mainstream Media is ignoring Ron Paul?

OR, are you going to BE the medium, use the media?

It's not like you are at work, hiding out in some room hoping no one notices you are using the work computer to sneak in some porn time.

Or, are most Daily Paul readers actually secretly, shamefully employed at the IRS and all afraid of losing their paychecks if it is found they support Ron Paul?

Are the majority of you shareholders in Haliburton and understandably afraid of losing stock value if Ron Paul does well?

Or, do you just not give a rat's ass?

Somethings up.

It sure as hell isn't a problem limited to my posts.

It's ALL the posts here.

With all the "readership" (as though being a reader or "user" here is some strange new form of activism known only to the individuals here lurking away) of Daily Paul there almost is ZERO outreach.

Why is that?

Numbers sometimes are uncomfortable.

It means alot when this post has more than twice the upvotes than it even has Facebook likes especially since I generated most of those Facebook likes on my own, outside of Daily Paul...and the same with the Tweets.

Oh yeah, and I'm one of those four Google+ too.

And I did the Redditt and Stumble thing too.

I shouldn't be able to find myself in those figures...but always it is the same, and it is the same with almost every damn thing EVER posted at Daily Paul.

You, the overwhelming majority of anonymous Daily Paul users accomplish literally NOTHING in the way of voter outreach, almost all Daily Paul readers...NOTHING. And you prove it every time you vote something up or down.

It shows up, glaringly, in the numbers.

You just DO NOT SHARE any of the material here at Daily Paul.

What is it? Are you so fearful of taking "a stand"? As though hitting a Facebook, Twitter or Google+ button somehow jeopardizes you?

Afraid of being audited?

IF you are, and I think many of you would rather have root canal without any painkiller than actually risk speaking or communicating with a single voter who needs persuading, than why bother with reading about Ron Paul?

You've already lost all liberty and you did it by choice.

You show that your only affirmative action is to TAKE NO ACTION.

THIS stuff is meant to be SHARED!

That is what Ron Paul is doing! He's hoping you turn around and SHARE too.

I've not actually seen or heard an entire Ron Paul speech this entire time. I've edited, but I'm not actually just sitting there listening even then. I've been involved with things like sound and cut-aways, and I really don't need to hear another speech anyway.

What's the point?

The POINT IS to SHARE it with voters who don't know a thing about Ron Paul.

You have things to share here at Daily Paul.

These historic speeches by Ron Paul ARE important things to share.

I've got links to 2 real fine things you can SHARE with the world about Ron Paul, things which document that Mainstream Media IS NOT telling the story of thousands of cheering, foot stomping supporters showing up whenever Ron Paul pops into town.

I've got links just above, in this post to 2 movies which document the abuse of common sense by Mainstream Media and all the vast majority of Daily Paul readers do is ignore the obvious themselves.

What is up with that?

I've linked a TON of stuff in all of these posts, things submitted by others always far, far outweigh what I provide originally...which, when you get right down to it only really is just a whole lot of hard work, many hours.

And what do you do, the overwhelming majority of you?

You scream for more, FOR YOU, and NOT to be shared.

I've had comments in this post tonight, and in all the others, criticizing and complaining because there's not enough news...

What the bleep did almost every last one of you actually do today, this week or THIS YEAR to reach out even to ONE lousy voter?

The numbers do not lie.

Most of you are couch potato campaigners.

You KNOW where to find FOX on the dial, that you know...I never do know the number those very few times I turn on a TV and try to find a "news" channel.

You DO KNOW where to find Daily Paul.

But you don't use it, you abuse it.

And there you sit, looking to make your next UP or Down vote.

Be very pleased with yourselves.

Political tourists is what you are.

You are obscure, and again you have taken no "risk". Again you have done absolutely NOTHING.

Not all of you of course, just the overwhelming majority of you.

The numbers do not lie.

SHARE!
