But we also have to understand how big a National Election is and how people who do not want us to win will try and get inside the organization and do the best they can to make us fail. I worked for Ross Perot way back when and then was a Congressional District Coordinator for the Reform Party and I can tell you it was a constant fight between us and the Dems and GOP sending people in to try and kill the movement. You have to understand that it is a huge fight between the people that are in power and the People! Any time we THE PEOPLE start any movement, the powers that are will do all that they can to stop US. Ron Paul is trying to grow a movement that is way beyond what he ever expected it would be. I do not think that in his wildest dream Ron Paul would have ever thought when he started to run for President that in the 4th quarter of 2007 he was going to be leading the GOP in fund raising. He is trying to keep up with the demand of people and truth be told, he did not have the staff to run a 50 state race. Politics is a dirty game and the people you trust might not always be on your side and finding that out gets even harder the more you grow. Ok problems in Alaska, lets figure them out before the general election. We need a 3rd party/independant run so we have 9 months to figure out who is really on our side and to build this movement that really seems to mean so much to so many people. In the 1992 election, Ross Perot received 18.9% of the popular vote and that was after running then dropping out and then running again. Truth is Ron Paul is just so much more then Ross Perot ever had to offer, but we can win that vote and get so much more. Yes we do need to weed out the bad apples and we need to make the grass roots more of a part of the official campaign but what we can not forget is the over all goal and that is to educate the masses, restore the Constitution and save this country. We need a Revolution not just to get Ron Paul elected, and that would be the best short term goal, but we also need to build on what we have to make sure that after this election, the movement dose not die if Ron Paul is not elected. This will only happen if we start or take over a 3rd party. Lets face it you do not start a Revolution by joining the status quote. We have put up a brave fight to be part of the Republican party but they have rejected us every chance they could get and you really can not argue that they are any different from the Democrats. Its all big government, big war. We need to start the small government, no war party and we will win!
Assuming this is legit--Mr Bergman has to go. Calling the police to arrest a local Ron Paul Supporter? Wrong, just plain wrong. Bergman has a screw loose and is on a ego trip. Treating local RP supporters condescendingly is idiotic. That's like having a greenie 2nd Lieutenant arriving in a combat zone and telling the seasoned combat veteran how to patrol his front lines. Stupid!

I may be opening up a can of worms here but hey, I've got a big ole can opener and two hands with which to do it.
Is Bergman an agent looking out for the interests of a foreign nation? I mean look, if there were a Swedish lobby and it dominated US politics and directed our foreign policy and the only campaign that fully supported reversing our current foreign policy were running, the powers that be might do all they could to destroy the campaign to ensure our foreign policy stays EXACTLY as it is.
Now let's say this non-foreign entanglement campaign hired someone with say...MY LAST NAME OF PETERSON (of Swedish descent) and then the campaign was suddenly not running as efficiently, MANY people would probably naturally wonder exactly what the intentions of the new hire were in reality.
The truth of the matter is, Ron Paul has been ostracized for putting America first and the only people who can be trusted are those who are willing to work for the idea not a buck. How truly sad for this country.
I'd like to see a background check on Bergman and Roszman and Kerri Price. Seems that some of these people were sent state to state damiging the campaign from the inside out.Headquarters was made aware and did nothing about it?
To every Daily Pauler who said I was in "bad mood" for complaining about the FAILURES of Ron Paul's PAID Campaign People:
WATCH THIS NOW!!!
I am furious. As I said - they are HIGHLY UNPROFFESSIONAL.
I STILL have yet to recieve my slim-jims (that I paid $100 for). NY's primary is over - but I DO plan to go up to Vermont IF I get my slim-jims!
So, I checked the campaign website - there is NO organization AT ALL in Vermont OR Indiana OR Rhode Island OR North Carolina OR Kentucky OR Oregon!
Wisconsin, South Dakota, Idaho and New Mexico have iffy information / organization AT BEST!!!
This is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!
I may be a vegetarian, but I'll defend to the death my right to eat pork!
I had also had thoughts on whether there has been sabotage in the campaign. and did he say that the paid guy was saying Huckabee was going to win?? what the heck
yes it dose piss me off

Infiltration of campaign
and Dirty Politics. Some of us didn't see it coming. Some of us did. Too much public info and strategy online doesn't help, either.
found this youtube vid of Craig Bergman
http://www.youtube.com/wa...
This guy needs to go ASAP
He may be in support of candidate with Ron Paul ideals, but he is not in support of Ron Paul currently. He needs to be removed immediately!
Bump
This should be addressed immediately. Everyone should call the campaign and demand an answer.
Watch this video to see how we really lost Alaska
Please watch the short video and comment ...
"signs, signs, everywhere are signs"
My take...HQ unorganized and pompous in Alaska from this video testimony...
Heads should roll---
Yes it does
Makes me really angry! So what are they going to do about it?
Yep Im pissed
Who the hell is this BERGMAN person! FIRE HIM RON!
Previously known as DCALIFANO
Give Bergman the pink slip!

SemperFi, your sig needs closure
Just a little house cleaning (removing italics)

Who is this Bergman person??

You're up in North Country! :)
How was the RP support up there? I mean, with all the pro-Paul Canadians, I'd hope it was good!
I may be a vegetarian, but I'll defend to the death my right to eat pork!
Looks like campaign was infiltrated to me........
I'd like to see a background check on Bergman and Roszman and Kerri Price. Seems that some of these people were sent state to state damiging the campaign from the inside out.Headquarters was made aware and did nothing about it?
That's it!!! I'm Really Pissed off!!!
