Ron Paul in Augusta, Maine tomorrow @ 11:30, what should I tell him if I meet him?
Word is going around the grassroots here in Maine that Dr.Paul will speak at the Augusta State House in the Hall of Flags at 11:30am eastern tomorrow 1/28/08.
This is great considering he was in Portland today and I was bummed I couldn't make it.
If I meet him, what should I say?

A Q 2 Dr Paul from England
Could you just ask his opinion on whether, as some economists reckon, that the economic slide will likely worsen during the summer-onwards?
(The reason I ask, Soulmantim, is because I hope the crap will hit the fan so to speak, in time for more people to awaken to Dr Pauls' message on the economy and saving money by less Govt', less war footings, etc -in time to push for Him for /September/November. Pass on our highest regards and best wishes. Thank you.
'I always think of all you canvassors and precinct leaders at the front line.
Good luck out there &Thank you. It's appreciated'.-fip -U.K
so how'd it go in maine
Did U ask these things ? How'd it go????????
Tell him
God bless you, thank you, it is an honor to meet a true patriot and statesman. We are behind you a thousand percent!
Ask him
if he is going to be on CNN after the debate before going to his Rally. It would be really good to see him after the debate when they talk to the candidates.
Letter
I think you need to have a letter ready to hand him. Get someone to take your picture with him. My son has one and it is our pride and joy.
Thank you!
If it were me, I'd simply say thank you.
We all owe him a debt of gratitude for curing our apathy and giving us a chance to take our country back.
So, don't give him any advice, don't bore him with drivel about the DP.
Just shake his hand, and say thank you.
a suggestion
Tell him about Daily Paul and ask that someone from the campaign read this (preferably daily)
Dr. Paul's standard speech
Dr. Paul's standard speech will likely not leave any 'questions' for you to ask unless you have not been to the campaign web site. He covers the material well and has the voting record in Congress to back it up. He is my congressman, of which I am very proud.
You will meet the most interesting and honest patriot that this country has seen since the days of Thomas Jefferson and the others. Judge Napolitiano of Faux Noise characterizes him as a "living founding father". I think that is why the MSM, the "party", the other candidates and the "men behind the curtain" fear him and seek to marginalize him so. He is LEAGUES ahead of them in intellect and Constitutional knowledge.
He will likely stay around to sign autographs and talk 'till all have had their chance........you are in for a treat.
Fight like hell ...
and never, never, never give up!
2nd Thoght...
Tell Dr. Ron Paul. We all love him and we all pray that he is well.
Mention the next debates..
Tell Dr. Ron Paul that we wont mind if he gets more aggressive with the other candidates. Keep comparing himself to the rest on their tax record.
Keep pushing McCain he is ready to break. Ask Romney how much of his own money he has put into his campaign. Ask the rest of them why if they support the troops, why does he (ron paul) get more donation from troops.
thank you.
ron paul 2008
Walk with the Lord
and we are praying for him.
What I would tell him
I would ask him to:
1. Restructure his campaign leadership with people who know how to win, and who have won in the past. None of the current leadership has ever won a presidential primary.
2. After Feb 5th -- if he has lost the Rep Nom -- Run 4th party (Mike Bloomberg is the third party candidate).
There is much more, but everything centers around these two points.
Important to tell Ron Paul
If I could talk to Ron Paul, I would tell him I'm concerned about his lack of updated information in regards to some aspects of world affairs. I am an international news editor who is working 18 hours a day to make the truth available to time-pressed American news consumers. Please tell him I am very worried about him. He needs to surround himself with people who are very up to date on international affairs, reading newspapers from around the world, not only relying on FOX and ABC if you know what I mean. I would advise him to check out my yahoo group called "World View News Service" (go to egroups.com and search for it)
Speak from the heart
and all will be fine. I hope to do the same when I hopefully have him sign my Constitution in Simi Valley on Wednesday.
Tell Ron about Ray and Ted PLEASE
http://www.wlobradio.com/...
These 2 men are grassroots activist talk show hosts from 5am - 9am M_F 96.3 FM .
VERY much ignoring Ron Paul. Very vocal about ALL things "conservative" affecting Maine and Nationally. They and their guests are always extolling the virtues of the war blah blah blah - But very often the plight of the overburdened Maine taxpayer.
If ONLY Ron would mention that he is aware of their far-reaching influence in central and southern Maine. Invite them publically to examine and comment on Ron's domestic, foreign, monetary policies (personally I know they would support ALOT if not most of them).
If ONLY Ron would say that their are a couple of Downeast Mainer Red Sox fans, Great Americans- - that he would gladly accept a personal or phone interview . THIS WOULD BE TOTALLY FANTASTIC..
Please Please ask Ron to acknowledge their existence (RAY and TED of WLOB morning news) at the very least!!
Tell him we want him to
Tell him we want him to paint a vision for us - tell him he accurately identifies the problems - but a LEADER paints a VISION.
We love the message and the messenger - but we need a VISION from him. Reagan, MLK, JFK, all gave us a vision and RP vision would be the best!
A LEADER paints us a VISION and takes us there! The vision will be there after he is gone. If he paints a vision the money will flow in,
without vision the people perish
that is what the Bible says, so YES a vision of what America should look like!!!
**That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
Tell him we love him...
and thank him for all his hard work, for us and future generations.
Tell him.....
You are precinct leader and wish you could speak to him longer but that you need to get back to canvassing. It is that important!!!!
Yeah Yeah
Me and my Father in law are in charge of the Mercer, Maine caucus.
It'll be on Feb 2nd at Noon at the Norridgewock Town Hall.
We will be hosting Norridgewock, Mercer, and Fairfield.
Getting signs out to every nearby conveniance stores and word of mouth (fastest way to get the word out in the boonies).
Somerset/Kennebec Countys look very strong for Paul.
Kennebec is a big deal because it is very pro-Bush, and is where Bush and his daddy go boating every summer.
What to give Dr. Paul
How about a big hug!
Who Governs the Governless?
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT THREAD
Exactly why he needs to monitor what the grassroots is saying
SO MUCH TALENT HERE!
Here is a suggestion. PRINT OUT THIS THREAD AND GIVE IT TO HIM WHEN YOU MEET HIM
London Financial Times: The Fed at Fault for Economic Bubbles
The US Federal Reserve, as well as the International Monetary Fund, were singled out by expert critics as likely culprits responsible for failing to eradicate the root causes of the mounting global financial crisis and economic dangers.
Quoted: Stephen Roach, a star economist from Morgan Stanley.
George Soros, the billionaire financier, John Studzinski, a senior executive at Blackstone’s the leading private equity group
"The Fed in particular came under withering hostile fire from heavyweight former policy-makers who charged the US central bank with fostering a series of destabilising “bubbles” in markets for assets from shares to US housing by tolerating financial excess and running a lax interest rate policy.
Critics said that the Fed should not have permitted runaway gains in shares, and then US house prices, that by reaching excessive levels had encouraged American consumers to borrow and spend irresponsibly".

tell him he should provide videoblog !
He looked like true president in this "campaign progress update" and it was good. He should make comments on current affairs at country and make people thinking "OMG why he isnt our president yet?!".
Yeah, just get rid of the
Yeah, just get rid of the stiff people sitting around him.
LOL
I don't think that would go over, but I still like it
Tell the Dr.
This is important. Tell him that when he talks about social security, that he should mention that the FUND runs out in 2017. And the FUND for Medicare runs out in 2013!
How do we know? Check out the transcripts from the democrat portion of the ABC debate in New Hampshire!
So when we talk about the economy, a GREAT way to tie it to the war is to explain that being able to FUND these programs, as the Dr. has promised...requires cutting the war and cutting unneeded departments such as the department of education!
He should ask:
How will the pro-war candidates do this? Raise taxes? Cut benefits?
He needs to emphasize that we act before its too late!
Take the matching funds for the election! The campaign needs it.
Go President Paul!
ask him to do another
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT routine at the debate.
It was VERY effective at the fox debate.
tell him
TO KEEP PREACHING THE MESSAGE OF LIBERTY
and that we support him and have his back
time for the fangs to come out...
and to please establish a direct line of communication from the grassroots to HQ.
via a website that could publicly vet the best of strategies,commercials,debate questions,efforts,attacks, etc. supporters could vote accordingly..
Properly harnessing the talent in this movement is key to success. Some people feel disconnected,and including everyone in the process will lead to higher morale,productivity,and donations,because it is in the true free market spirit...
Ask Kent Snyder to reduce his salary from $90,000 per quarter to something more reasonable to fit the tighter budget..
and one last thing...time to make some news at the next debate. Time to reveal some truth about one of the candidates that will get the buzz going. It must be big time dirt...take the gloves off...
Ask him to stick around a while and do lots of whistle stops!!!
*** God bless Ron Paul ***
* Ron Paul For President *
tell him to make sure he reads the top 5-10 CNN/Politico
debate questions before the 1/30 debate. Remember, he has to look the top 5-10 questions in the most popular section.
We have the top 2 and are working on some more gems for the good doc.
Make sure you tell him!
tell him you've
maxed out your contribution.
tell him the campaign should have an ad contest
where people submit commercials and then the
grassroots votes on them. (radio and t.v. and print.)
*
*
They could even have separate counters where people
vote with money to show support for a specific ad. (not
that it would necessarily win and be run but it'd
be a fun way to raise donations.)
*
*
I suppose you could also have a section where
people outline ads that would be more
expensive to create. (so these could
also be included in the voting.)
