Please Read! Urgent! For Those Who Support Rand!
Submitted by lordindra3 on Mon, 11/23/2009 - 14:27
Hey fellow liberty lovers! I have a very important piece of information I learned (and already joined)... This is not a post debating the virtues of Gitmo, so please leave that aside and dont post if you decided not to support any more. With that said, I have been studying non stop about how to help get a good candidate elected as a fiscal conservative and I have found out that the true anti establishment yet powerhouse is the US Club For Growth (aka Club for 'economic' Growth)! They put more than $1,000,000.00 per candidate at least and they run their own adds supporting the candidate and then run adds slamming the competitor.
I just got off the phone with them (yes I joined) and they said that they are almost ready to make a decision, but before they make a decision they want to see what the people want. They said they have a few people calling to join for Greyson, but more people called for Paul. Ok, they said the more people call in for the Paul, the more likely they will make a selection. Club For Growth will also have national fundraisers all over the country for Paul. If you think the Money Bomb will help Rand, well this will be the full push to office.
PLEASE CALL CLUB FOR GROWTH, TELL THEM YOU WANT TO JOIN SOLELY TO SUPPORT RAND PAUL!!! CALL THEM ASAP BECAUSE THEY ARE CLOSE TO MAKING A DECISION AND IF CLUB FOR GROWTH SELECTS GRAYSON, WE ARE NEAR FINISHED!!! PLEASE!!!

This sounds like something to make a priority for first thing Monday morning.
Bump for Rand
With all due notice to the well-articulated concerns and qualifications by the commentators below, this seems like a worthwhile pursuit for Rand's supporters.

Hmmm...tricky one
First off, before I express concern, let me applaud you for your efforts. I think this is a good strategy.
But let's not be fooled into thinking it's a "can't-miss" one.
Club for Growth may not be "establishment," but that doesn't make it "anti-establishment" either. They have become a powerhouse, as you put it, and are unlikely to want to tarnish that image.
I know some people who have been very key in their organization (full-time staff), and they're usually conservative across the board. I did say "usually." Some are libertarian-leaning. Many leave their opinions on non-fiscal issues at the door in the context of their CFG work. And they've said previously that they're not a Republican organization, and want candidates most committed to smaller government, lower taxes and regulation, and maximum economic growth.
But that doesn't mean they're out there endorsing candidates who can't win or who will hurt their image. They're not endorsing Libertarians and Constitution Party candidates. They're trying to preserve their political capital for key fights (like Toomey vs. Specter in PA).
Rand CAN win. But he can also divide their base a bit. Flooding CFG could come off as "entryism" (look it up, it's important). It could result in pushback. CFG could decide to endorse Greyson (though I doubt they will) if they decide that only he can win. More likely, they could just sit this one out: at least during the primary.
Remember, I said this is still a worthwhile approach, in my view. My critique isn't intended to burst your bubble or shoot you down. I salute you for your efforts. But let's remember that there are a lot of confounding factors at play. Simply barraging CFG with random new recruits who want to join at the minimum contribution level isn't likely to fool them or persuade them to do anything. We need to get established donors to speak up on behalf of Rand Paul and let CFG know (educate them about Greyson's big government ideology) about the importance of this race.
Cheers.

Done...
Seems like a good cause. Free to join. The girl said that Rand is definately a candidate that is "on their radar", but did also say that there is nothing I can do directly to influence their support.
** Of course joining and mentioning Rand (the point of the thread) is one action that speaks loudly to this PAC. **
Do it today!

Schiff??
Has anyone contacted them about Schiff, or am I alone here? I contacted them via email and made a few suggestions as to why Schiff fits their economic philosophy, and that it would be great to have them as an endorsement. Since there are only 2 other people besides Schiff seeking the Republican nomination for the CT Senate seat, he has a very good chance of winning. Of course Dodd will be his opponent, and Dodd has an extremely low rating on the site. I think less than 3%. I think they would be very likely to consider endorsing Schiff to get Dodd, Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, out of office!
The Problem There...
Is that Schiff is polling 2% or 5%.
When I first e-mailed them about Rand Paul I think in August, they said they only come out for viable candidates and were in wait-and-see mode with Rand Paul.
In that case, I think Schiff is going to have to pull out of single digits for him to get their support. It'd certainly be nice for them to endorse both, probably get them a lot of new members from our movement too.
Good point
By any chance, do you have any information on recent polls for the CT Republican race?
The Last Poll
Showed Schiff at 5%.

Since then, one of the lower-tier candidates has dropped out. Don't know what that changes; if anything.
Oh wow!
I just called C4G and they told me too, that they are going to make an announcement soon that will please me, but cant tell me yet... Are you thinking what Im thinking? A Rand Paul endorsement?!
If thats true, then you all know we did a very good job guys (IF its true) and you all should be very proud of yourselves!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Sounds Great
Club for Growth endorsement for Rand Paul would be a big boost for his candidacy. Plus, he so fits in with their anti-tax, anti-earmarks stance so much better than Grayson anyways.
Other Candidates?
They going to help any of the other Liberty Candidates?

Anyone Else
Anyone else called recently? What did they say?
I will not post a link to that website, but...
Click the "About Us" and "Our Philosophy" tabs on Club for Growth's website if you have questions about them. Perhaps they aren't 100% libertarian but they are aligned very much along that philosophy.
Are they "neo-con"? At first glance I say not but as always, it pays to do a bit of digging if you're curious.
I will be joining them tomorrow and asking them to support Rand.
URGENT!!!
call and support Rand so he can carry the flag of the Republic into the Senate!

called...
was told that Rand had been to their organization and the girl I talked too seemed to like him.....but she said still undecided.
Call Now!
Very fitting that they Rand
Very fitting that they Rand Paul whould seek their endorsement. This is an entirely neocon outfit from top to bottom. They were wild about George Bush and just love Guantanamo.
No one should ever forget how shabally Beck treated Dr. Paul during the Presidential campaign or the conscienceless shillin he did for his fellow Mormon, Romney. As for Murdock, he was relentless in having Hannity O'Reilly constantly savage Dr. Paul so th
Are you serious?
Are you suggesting Rand Paul is a neo-con??????????
You must be living in a cave and not know a thing about Rand Paul. He is 100% opposite a neo-con. In fact, I don't know even one bit of evidence that one could bring up to assert he's a neo con.
Rand is a constitutional conservative. He's a rock solid candidate from the Liberty movement.
You must be an "enemy within" trying to cut Rand down.
Go away.
Read this article
to find out why people are saying he's a neocon. This doesn't include his remark that Gitmo prisoners are "thugs."
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/11/12/qa-with-rand-paul-s...
Washington Wire: What should happen in Afghanistan?
Paul: I support a declaration of war in Afghanistan.
Washington Wire: Do you want Sarah Palin to campaign for you?
Paul: We’d love to have her come. We’ve made some overtures to her.
Washington Wire: What about Tim Pawlenty or Mitt Romney?
Paul: I don’t know much about Tim Pawlenty. Romney, there’s a mixture of beliefs there.
You are an idiot!
This organization CLEARLY STATES that it does not involve its self in foreign policy and/or cultural social issues!!!!!!!! Get your head out of your ass pal!

Kentucky Taxpayers United
Here is the link to the group Rand Paul heads, the Kentucky Taxpayers United. Don't forget to mention this group when you are talking to the club for growth! Knowledge that Rand is head of this group will have a big impact on their decision to endorse Rand in my opinion.

I didn't volunteer the info that I found out about them on DP, but when he brought it up, I cheerfully owned up. Honesty frequently works for me.
honesty really is the best policy
good for you,
although i regret the thoughts that a pro-rand paul blog is robo-calling them for persuasion.
oh well. couldn't hurt. =)
