The live broadcast from HQ tonight was a HUGE STEP FORWARD.
HQ communicating directly with the grassroots is EXACTLY what is needed. Educating the base on the delegate process and what needs to be done is absolutely the key to winning this thing. If you didn't see it, it will soon be on youtube. it is also on JustinTV.
I hope HQ will continue to use the Internet to its full advantage!
Peace

Where was this 6 months ago?
This was great but WAYYY too late. Where was this six months ago? Where was it when people were really excited to do something and needed some constructive direction? Didn't anyone see the need? Did they think the election was in 2010? I just don't understand why things can't be done right.
This would be a great format for Dr Paul to use in the future to keep people posted on events and where they can use their influence the most. It would really help people feel like they are connected and informed.

"Frustration, disappointment, concern -- that's my feelings. And somewhere in all that, I was trying to express my point."
I understand man, I really do. But we, collectively, need to undersand that no matter what we (or HQ) does, it will not in any way,shape, or form change the way the MSM covers Ron Paul.
The MSM is a tool of the establishment. The media networks are owned by giant corporations who are "owned" most often by the wealthiest elements of our society, and of the world. Tthey are the shareholders, the board members, etc. who control these corporations and they will never, NEVER allow a guy like Ron Paul to gain any serious attention on THEIR networks. They'll give the illusion of fairness by running stories on him here and there, but not to ask him questions about policy. Instead they would ask him about the money he raised, or how cool the blimp was, etc. Meaningless crap that is not going to let anyone really know what he's talking about. And yet, sometimes they let their guard down and a good interview gets through (like Glenn Beck). But you know that if Beck continues to push his "Liberty in Peril" stories to a point where he figures out who's behind all of it, he will be gone.
So anyway, here's the answer...
#1) Forget about the MSM altogether. We will NEVER be able to influence them. They will never support Ron Paul or any candidate even remotely resembling Ron Paul.
#2) Let the campaign managment deal with the stuff they must do: Ballot access, delegates, TV commercials, appearances, etc.
#3) WE handle the message push. Using the precinct leader program we get out and find a way to connect with our neighbors. Build local coalitions of truth and keep them linked through e-mail lists, etc. Have personal get togethers here and there, and discuss with them the latest developments in not only the campaign, but the movement.
This is all we can do. There is no other means by which we are going to even have a remote chance at winning. And even if your state has already had its primary, register for the precinct leader program and educate your neighbors so they will see why their vote for anyone else was misinformed.
This is how we'll win, wether it be the battle for the Presidency or the battle for America.

Alright! Here is something easy and will help us win some delegates in states yet to vote.
When you become a precinct leader in a state that has already voted there is a new option on the HQ web-site. It's an automated list (very cool) that randomly goes out to Leaders when you log on. You will get a name and phone number of a registered Republican in an upcoming state.
This is what you will see:
A voter name
Phone number/address
Script
Drop Downs to select answers
and a button for "next"
Could not be easier. This is designed to get RP state offices names of potential RP voters to call, and find undecided to follow up on.
I am telling you, it could not be easier! Sign up, if you make 1 call a week or 100 calls a day, it is this effort that will win us votes and delegates!
Here is a screen shot of the screen (top of picture on left, click "full size"):

Here is the script:
(270) 6xx-81xx Voter: xxxxx xxxxxx, 386 xxxxxx RD, SCOTTSVILLE, Kentucky District 1, (Republican)
If you got hung up on, simply write "hung up" on the comment line at the bottom and click "save and do another."
If nobody answered or you couldn't get ahold of the voter, "click here" and skip to the next page:

For those that thought we
For those that thought we could win, they were living in the dream world. We've gained hundreds of thousands of supporters who have given to the campaign, shown support for it and voted for the good doctor. The goal is to get as many delegates as possible and move on to the convention where the good doctor will have a platform to give an address.
In four years, this nation will be a lot worse off than it is today and these people who care more about watching sports or following Hollywood will be faced with having to pay attention to why they can't heat their home, fill up the gas tank or put food on the table. Unfortunately, America is a reactionary nation. We the people will react once the crisis stares each American in the face. I just hope it isn't too late.
I'm on the ballot as a delegate
In Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District. In this district, we (Paul supporters) have 5 out of 12 people vying for the 4 Delegate positions to the National Convention. I agree with HQ's position on the delegates but have one other comment:
Lew has got to go. He should have went months ago. Headquarters is still trying to run a 2 million dollar campaign as evidenced by the video technical problems. We need a campaign manager that is familiar with 30 million dollar campaigns.
Cry me a river
I don't think Ron Paul supporters would say most of what's been said in this comment room. Ron Paul supporters are not cry babies. We're being invaded by them and it's plain to see. Maybe we should infiltrate their forums? Oh that's right, we don't suck like that. Get a life, losers.
delegates, delegates!
What about John McCain's delegates? He's certain to have enough to clinch the nomination. Are we to expects the GOP to encourage them to drop the "frontrunner" in favor of 4% Ron Paul.......come on.
Its getting old
People still don't understand the delegate system. Don't believe the MSM delegate numbers. They understand them less than you do.
I Just Entered

wa - wa!
I have work to do.........
Too late this time around
I'm still pissed about the 5th place showing in NH.
For f*ck-sake, NH is the MOST INDEPENDENT state in the union and Ron can only muster a 5th place showing...
DAMN!
Where Liberty is, There is my Country - Ben Franklin
NH is overrated
NH is not that independent overall. There are a few thousand libertarians but they get overshadowed by hundreds of thousand of idiot liberals from Massachusetts who move to NH for the lower cost of living.
Overall, they deserve to have the "live free or die" slogan taken away and given to a state like Montana.
how many of you guys posting
how many of you guys posting here are delegates in your own precinct.. the popular vote does not get the nomination. its the delegates in each precinct-and ultimatley those delegates get elected to the national convention.. it is so easy to become a delegate.. especially in your precint. but how many of you actually took the time to do it? this republican nomination can be won without the media.. it all comes down to delegates!
The Campaign missed the boat
The voyage began in Iowa, where we finished far down the list. Even the upstart Huckabee, with no money figured out that Iowa was the key lightning rod to continuation. We have a unique candidate with Ron Paul with a messege of integrity and responsibility, but we came away from Iowa looking just like the press reported we would, on the fringe. The #1 objective should have been to get a solid foothold with a respectable show in Iowa with good old fashion newsprint for the Iowa farmers and country folk. It's been downhill from there. The GOP has led the MSM to bury the Paul campaign, and it's worked because the Ron Paul campaign was not prepared to counter re-act to what should have been expected assaults against his messege. No professional public relations anywhere in sight. Lot's of money, but no professional people. Ron Paul's messege is clear as a bell, but it needed professional "packaging", which it didn't get. Ron Paul had to fend for himself at every turn. Taking hit, after hit. Amazing man no doubt.
Ron Paul comes across just like the Doctor he is, giving bad news to a sick patient. Only the American populace is the "patient", and they don't want to hear any bad news about how sick they are. They'd rather simply get another diagnosis..........doesn't matter if it's accurate or not. Just like the cancer this country now has, our "patient" would rather hear from a doctor that embellishes hope for recovery. They know the "sickness" doesn't apply to them personally, so why deal with the pain, when you can just go to another doctor, who makes you "feel good"?
Not entirely true
The campaign did hire some professional republican campaigners. Those professionals are well known in the states they worked in as helping undermine the campaign, being ineffective, and wasting money.
I couldn't agree with you
I couldn't agree with you more.
no the media built huckabee
no the media built huckabee up.. huckster didn't do a damn thing.. same thing with mcinsane right now...
who is responsible?
We are. The msm is not our friend, no matter how we play it, there is no way they're going to give us equal treatment. We need to go around the msm, we need to stop expecting them to change or see the light. Breakthematrix.com is one way, and canvassing and educating people is already proven to work. This is frustratingly unfair if we compare it to other candidates' supporters who, like you said, aren't doing anything much.
Sadly, this revolution is not as easy as forcing the msm to give us time, equal treatment etc etc. I don't know what else to say. But it just saddens me when people complain about the msm not giving RP coverage. They are not our friend! We need to give up the notion that they will change. Only then we can see other possibilities, instead of being hung up on how unfair the situation is.
It sucks big time, but we need to suck it up and march forward. Let us be smarter than the msm. Which I think we are.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Revolutions are not easy, Think about how many battles
Think about how many battles George Washington lost before he won in the end.
Internet campaigning calls for new technology and more importantly, new ways of thinking about how to use it. We are on the cutting front of the future both politically and technologically which is much exciting than fighting from the rear.
While it takes a while to figure it all out, I stll believe the issues at hand are worth fighting for. Just think about how much more aware we are now of the critical issues.
A lot of unexpected things will happen between now and the convention but, as Tiger Woods would say, you have to put yourself in a position to win.

George Washington having lost a lot of battles or quoting Tiger Woods gives me very little comfort in what has been happening to us in this Presidential Campaign effort. While it does take some time to figure things out -- and you're right about that -- we should have learned our lessons long ago, figured out that the media (most all of them) are biased, figured out how the otherside plays the game (voting fraud and so forth). This media bias, considering how important a role the media actually plays in today time vs. George Washington's time, is super-duper important. The other side figured that out waaaay before any of us and they have been 'using it' quite effectively. And not only when it comes to picking a Presidential Candidate, other things as well. But I won't go down that road of other things and confuse the issue here with anybody.
I do want to end on a note that says believe what you wish when it comes to the 'unexpected' things that may happen (you said will, didn't you) -- but you should understand that hardly anything is left up to chance here in this game we stand and watch and pretend we have some control over. It's far too important for allowing chance to dictate results. There is the matter of the mind to consider, a little game of its own commonly known as PsyOps that has guided all of us, continues to guide us, to educate us, inform us, influenced us even without our awareness of being influenced at times -- the mass media are very skilled at this art // they can make people do and believe basically anything they wish just by being there in our mind 24/7. If you don't know what I'm talking about (any one of you out there, I[m speaking to right now) all I can say is you should know. Check into it.

So what exactly is your point? I've read 2 replies from you now and you've complained in great detail about the MSM bias and how WE didn't get it. Honestly, MOST of us got it, but we mistakenly thought we could break through it if we cause newsworthy events to happen. We were right on that front, but wrong on how we thought it would effect the race. There are still some here who are pushing efforts to try to get media attention and I simply won't participate because I've realize that this is not how were' going to make an impact. It sounds to me like you're pretty much resolved to giving up. Am I wrong?
If I'm not, then have a good life man. No ill will. Just leave and do your thing.
If I am, then what exactly is YOUR vision of how we can make a difference? I have mine, and will be working towards it.
SCANNER313 -- One More Thing On This
Vote RON PAUL 2008
____________
I didn't see this reply (post) from you at the time I was replying to another of your post -- but since you asked me a question (what is my point?) thought I'd carry this a step more.
Listen, man, I really don't want to come across as A COMPLAINER -- I'm a supporter of RON PAUL's that's what I am. I want him as our President. Let me say that again so there can be no misunderstandings: I want RON PAUL as our next President.
I responded to a video that started this thread and as I tried to say (but do have a tendency to get lost in thought) my thoughts while watching that video from HQ seemed to be wrongfully placing the burden of RON PAUL becoming our next President back entirely upon our shoulders and that didn't seem quite right to me. Of course we all have a responsibility to do our best in this endeavor -- that's a give. Saying that, I got to thinking about the other side (the MCCAIN, the OBAMA side) who according to the numbers being reported back to all of us -- are winning in this race. Hey, I don't like that at all. None of us here in the RON PAUL forum should be happy with that -- and I'm sure we're not.
But like the video asked, do more, do all you can, keep it going -- I'm not saying that's wrong, I'm just trying to figure out why all of our efforts so far as outstanding as they have surely been have not pushed us to the very front of the line and kept us all there. I mean RON PAUL's message, his issues, are far superior in common sense and logic than any of those others wanting to become President. So what gives here? We've recruited large numbers -- no question about that; and the video asks we continue in this vein -- which we rightfully should. But something is dearly wrong BECAUSE those others with far less truth on their side are winning. One more time -- something (??) isn't right here.
I know it's the MSM -- but it's more, it's far more than a simple finger point. They have a major big time influence, no doubt about that. And that should work equally in our favor; considering back to that super-duper message of RON PAUL's. And yes we all know the MSM hasn't been fair in this and that is partially my point, finally.
The ones controlling this election campaign, the ones telling us to continue, the ones asking for support, the ones asking for $$ from us -- Hey, they are there for a reason are they not? But shouldn't they be doing more? Yes they should be doing exactly those things BUT seems to me that in view of my own awareness of how MSM has been a complete 'dick' in this fairness/unfairness process then the HQ should be voicing my (all of ours) concerns in this regard. Who else is there that can do this? Certainly not me, certainly not you. They're at the top, they see more than any one of us do (or can) and yet WE are being asked to continue business as usual -- and that business as usual has in fact been outstanding support but it hasn't gotten us anywhere close to the front of that line. We should be right there standing as NUMBER ONE and would be if the HQ had screamed FOUL the moment this bias began.
Is it too late? I honestly don't know.
The other side seems to put forth very little effort. Maybe I can't see what they are actually facing, but to think they are working harder than our group -- I just can't believe that. And yet look at the results so far to-date.
Now if that is complaining, I'm sorry for it -- I intended it to be expressing concern and trying to find the way out of this unfair treatment we have received. It's the unfair part that has kept us from the front, no doubt and yet we continue to be encouraged to do business as usual. I'm afraid they (the HQ) are doing that as well -- and that part yes maybe I am complaining about to some degree. I have no constructive criticism other than to suggest that those with the responsibility and clout STOP TAKING THIS ABUSE and start an attack of our own. Doesn't mean violence, I'm not suggesting that, it means START LOOKING AT WHAT IS CAUSING US 'NOT' TO WIN // We already know how to win.
Frustration, disappointment, concern -- that's my feelings. And somewhere in all that, I was trying to express my point. Smile ;-)

I Just Don't Know What To Say Here -- But I'm Gonna Try

I could only watch about half way through (the video), my thoughts turned to this instead:
-- We are being asked to continue the good fight, to continue knocking on doors, to join in the political process in other but related fashions, to continue supporting our candidate of choice over and over and over again, while questions are being answered from this place and from that place, etc, etc., etc.
I just couldn't keep my thoughts on what I was hearing because my mind wandered OUTSIDE of our own campaign to the other candidates, and to their supporters and what it is 'they are being asked to do' to win this election process on their side -- and the answer struck me -- very little to nothing. And yet they are apparently winning (numbers) over us.
We have a far superior message; us, not them; us. It is our candidate that is America's only hope in the face of where our nation has gone and where it continues to go -- and yet MCCAIN and HUCKABEE and OBAMA and CLINTON are being reported back to us as leaving us behind in the dust. It makes no sense to me; it happening that way. Our message is far superior.
And then it came to me that our numbers are certainly large as they are ONLY BECAUSE we have done all those things, and continue to do all those things that the nice man and woman in the video have urged us to do -- but so what?
Large as our numbers are (and growing) -- the others MCCAIN and HUCKABEE, etc., are still doing far better and doing this without the benefit of their supporters who are doing little to nothing in comparison. What the hell is going on here?
Seems to me that instead of urging us to continue to build on those numbers (to rely on us to win this election) -- numbers that will never reach the equivalent of what mainstream media has done to create and continues to do (to us) -- it all seems a waste of time and effort, and hope, and expense. Sure we will have a larger following thanks to our individual efforts -- but so what? The other side is doing little to nothing (and that should actually be a good thing, considering their message is more of the same old bullshit disguised as something other than that) yet they continue (State by State) to pull farther ahead.
It's THANKS to that damn media and the biased playing field they have established. Nothing new being stated there, right. But that's what it is, that's the reason, what we are all up against here. The media reaches far more people than we are able -- we can plainly see that now without getting up and turning off the damn tv to answer the door // it's there right in our face. That's been the problem and continues to be the problem, as I see it. And what is being done about that?
We're spinning our wheels and going basically nowhere, other than gaining a larger number thanks entirely to our own efforts. And yes that does mean something -- it means we ought to be winning.
I know no one wants to hear this but the media is what is driving this force for the others and hindering our chances, and it continues to be that way right in our trusting and smiling faces. It's been said over and over as a concern here and for a damn good reason yet what has been done to change any of that? What?
I know this sounds negative as hell but we need to approach this entire race by demanding fair and equal treatment (if it's not too late already considering the time that has come and gone already). Sure we've hung in there, our numbers have increased -- but so what? It means what in the face of a game stacked against us? This media bias has become another form of voting fraud and it seems the powers to be have allowed it to happen as such.
-- Now (as if it will be a fix-all) we are being asked to knock on more doors --
But what about those people that are running the show here, shouldn't they be knocking on the media doors and demanding that fair and equal treatment? I say it is THEM that need to come to understand WHY the other candidates are doing better than us, the same with a piss poor message and supporters doing little to nothing in comparison with us that love and respect RON PAUL and want him as our next President. That seems to me to be at the very heart of this discrepancy in numbers.
Perhaps you will argue this otherwise, but I believe I'm starting to see the writing on the wall here, folks. It doesn't make me happy seeing this bleak picture because I want RON PAUL -- I don't want any of those other jerks (the ones that are winning and shouldn't be).
The question here is simple:
Why are the jerks (who have an inferior message) winning and we (who have a far superior message) are not?
Is that our fault -- or is it someone else's fault? And if it's not us (the devoted, loyal supporters) -- then who in the hell is responsible here?
My $.02
Totally agree!
I think it hit me like a rock on Super Tuesday when they weren't even showing Ron Paul at ALL. I think it was apparent at that point that the tube was the most powerful weapon that we will ever face. People will believe EVERYTHING it says over ANYTHING you say. In Chicago walking the streets and trying to talk to people about Ron Paul, all you get is that he is a racist. We had signs in yards that were taken down after "the letters". It made me sick. Then trying to talk to friends and family has been harder than I ever thought. Every step is a battle and now I'm feel like I have done what I can. Somewhere or somehow we need some help here. Ron Paul also needed to get out there. I saw that he didn't campaign like the others and that also makes me annoyed. At this point it's about the message and not so much about Ron Paul like it used to be. Maybe I'm wrong with all of this as well.... However someone needs to convince me otherwise.
Uhhhhhhhhhh...
"It's THANKS to that damn media and the biased playing field they have established. Nothing new being stated there, right. But that's what it is, that's the reason, what we are all up against here."
No offense man, but we've been dealing with this from day 1. Can you really ask these questions like you don't know why those other clowns are winning with a message that screams STATUS QUO?
#1) The media annoints the winner before the primaries even start. They're not always right, but they do a very good job of swaying public opinion.
#2) Most Americans are lazy, an they just want to vote for the nominee of their party so that they don't actually have to do any research.
#3) The powers that be have worked diligently to intentionally silence Ron Pau and his message. The internet is a great place to find information, but remember #2.

Who exactly are you "Uhhhh etc" here -- Me? Obviously it is since you quoted me. How did you interpret me reiterating MSM as the problem as all of a sudden me just getting the hint // No offense // Well none taken, regardless.
The video I addressed was the most recent thing out of HQ // and yes the matter of us losing and them winning (the other side -- the other candidates) has been an ongoing concern since day one BUT that doesn't mean I don't get it TO ME it means THEY (HQ) don't get it. They don't get it if they continue to tell us to do those things that truly mean absolutely very little to nothing in the face of that MSM bias you seem very well aware of yourself. Being aware and being not in a position vs being in a postion to do something about it seems to me to be what is missing since day one around here. And damn it, I'm angry as hell and I do mean offense towards those that continue (since day one) to ignore the true cause and effect that has hindered our fair and equal shot at the title. You are (at least I think you are) saying the exact same thing ONLY THING is you seem to have not yet focused your awareness where it really matters. Not on me but on those that can rightfully do something about this (since day one). Damn it!
One last note...
"They don't get it if they continue to tell us to do those things that truly mean absolutely very little to nothing in the face of that MSM bias you seem very well aware of yourself."
I agree with you if they were telling us to have marches, and sign waves, and to try to get the campaign attention in the MSM.
I DO NOT agree with you if they were saying to become a precinct leader and to focus on spreading the message in your precinct. This IS the answer, and if we had all been doing this from the start we could actually be winning this thing right now.
Well, SCANNER313 -- Looks Like We Got A Little Conversation
Vote RON PAUL 2008
_____________
A little conversation things going on here:
(you said)
This IS the answer [refering to becoming precinct leaders and spreading the word], and if we had all been doing this from the start we could actually be winning this thing right now.
To which I reply -- Maybe.
But are the otherside doing that, is that why they are winning because they have been doing what you suggest since the start? I think not.
They, the other side, the side that is winning, they do have an aggresive approach, no question about that, but the amount of time spent in helping spread their message (their distorted hope for America) has not been done by Precinct Leaders and loyal supporters but rather by mass influence coming from the bought and paid for media that would have us see and believe in a certain fashion regardless of what they portray as true and who it is they actually DO NOT want us to see as our only true hope for America (meaning of course: RON PAUL) but to see and accept some other candidate of their own design.
No other way to explain HILLARY and/or MCCAIN and their messages they dangle before our unblinking eyes. The American People may very well be lazy, as you said earlier, but we are more so influenced than any one of us can even imagine -- myself included. I just know it's so and yet not aware of all the tricks they pull that I also nod my head in agreement with. They are skillful and we are gullible // and down deep we each hope for the best even knowing that the other side is corrupt and greedy and yet will surely have our best interest at heart, regardless -- that is our downfall.
The benfit of the doubt
Liten man, if I misinterpreted your original message, I'm sorry. To me it sounded lik you were just ranting about the MSM bias towards Ron Paul as if it had just all of a sudden hit you like a ton of bricks. In that, I was surprised that you would take the negative attitude you had regarding the efforts of this movement.
I think the biggest problem we've had all along is everyone believing that we were going to be able to break down the MSM wall. We made a good attempt, with the blimp, the money bombs, etc. But in the end, none of that mattered. The media still marginalized Ron's candidacy, still asked him the pointless questions, and still pushed everyone BUT Ron Paul as the eventual winners.
Had we all been out in the street talking to people directly about the message first, then about Ron Paul, we probably could have won this things. But we all wanted to go for the glitz of the media and that's where we went wrong. But now, with the precinct leader program, we have the tools and the smaller focus that will allow us to get through to our neighbors. To wake them up to the truth about our monetary system and the danger we're in because of it. And to show they how only 1 candidate is not only mentioning it, but has a plan to fix it before it's too late.
Again, maybe I misinterpreted your rant, and if so, I'm sorry for the way I replied. If not, and if you were ranting that we need to force the media to listen, and report fairly, then I say good luck to you in your endevour. But it won't happen and it certainly won't help to promote the cause of freedom and liberty in this country.

We're on the same sheet with this, I can see that. But it's not up to us (individually, never happen) to change the manner of how we are treated by MSM. They know we don't like the treatment given our hero, they know that -- and they could care less. They're the ones in control, we have little (probably the right word is no -- control) // no true control, even though we might like to think we do.
I suppose anything is in fact possible. But history with the MSM and the tricks they play -- the deck is definitely stacked and we have very little to say about that other than simply not play. Not playing is giving up, for sure. But playing the game using their stacked deck (their rules) means very little in the scheme of things either. They intend to win, they intend therefore for us to lose. I figured that out (long ago) and perhaps others (you included in that) have also. But some among us continue to hope for the best -- and I see that really not happening with these gangsters that would have us lose and them continue to maintain control. That's what I'm trying to say with all these words. Hard to do at times, get my thoughts out, but the point isn't lost on you, I'm sure of that based upon your responses.
The ONLY hope we would have or may yet have is if those that represent all of us (we represent them also, I know that) but those that are at the top need to bring the matter of unfairness into public view. It's there and it continues when it should have been a major big time screaming effort on the part of those that started this campaign effort for all of us. I see this media bias as another form of voting fraud. It leans the votes, the thought process in one direction and that's simply not fair. Influencing the outcome of what should be a fair process is simply wrong and those doing it need to be (must be) called out or nothing will happen to affect the desired plans of those that would have it their way, regardless.
We're together on this, I'm sure of it, it's just I don't think it can come from us -- it must come from within the HQ that holds the powers of our collective in its hands. We are many voices but it should rightfully be filtered through one single mouth -- the HQ speaking for all of us.
Voter fraud is wrong; media bias ranks right up there with being wrong. Has been, and continues to be.
Enough from me on this; you have a nice day.
This is why Basic Media, Inc. is so important
I really believe in what Rick Williams and Trevor Lyman are doing. I trust that they will succeed and I've made a pledge. If you really want to turn the media around go make a pledge also:

Yup, it get's under the skin. no?
not rant worthy.
Sorry...
Yes mistakes where made. Don't worry I know how you feel. Yet I still have some fight left in me. I'll continue to "be taken on a ride" as you put it.
When things don't go your way and you know your cause is still right, you keep fighting.
What we are trying to do here is nothing less then monumental. Imagine that, we're trying to put forward a candidate that is honest and takes no special interest money.
Say things did go better? Imagine how hard the MSM would attack us if they did get guys like Dick Morris. You can be sure that the attacks would be harder if we were more of a threat.
This is a test. Can our message unite us and make us stronger? Will we fall apart and leave this cause if we fail in their eyes?
No matter what we must show our resolve win or lose. The March in D.C. is a show of our solidarity, tenacity, and fierce devotion to the cause of Fredom.
Ron Paul represented us well. When they attacked him he always had poise. We must show in return what he has done for us.
I for one am forever changed after all this. I'm going to be politically active and I'm going to continue working for this cause. I'm done with complaining about the worlds problems and not doing anything at home to fix the problems.
God bless,
noxid
yes, it was a step forward
Why wasn't it taken in, say, June '07? That's the only thing I don't get. We've been craving this kind of "live" contact with the campaign staff all along, and this is the "Internet-savvy" campaign... right? I'm sad to say that we've missed out on this opportunity for so long. Still, I'm glad to see it late rather than never. Hopefully the glitches can be ironed out and it can become a new highlight of the campaign effort.

Get active NOW to put Ron in the general election. ronpaul.meetup.com
The supporters are internet savvy...
The campaign staff can't seem to find the "Reply" button on their email software thingee's. The campaign staff are unable to play their voice-mail's and dial someone's phone number to return a call.
Supporters have done amazing things online, innovative things with fund-raising, creative advertising, astounding videos, etc. etc.
The campaign staff seems to have problems figuring out how to buy actual airtime in states with primaries, they have problems making simple 30 second TV ads that convey any form of "Hope", etc.
Is the campaign internet savvy? Technology savvy? Campaign savvy? Are they savvy at anything???
Precinct Leader program
Regarding the Precinct Leader program...
It seems to me that this program can be used for more than just spreading the word about Ron Paul.
We can use this program to elect liberty-minded people at all levels of government (federal, state, and local) in this election and BEYOND.
I hope more people will see the power of this plan and sign up. I signed up for the program tonight, even though our primary has come and gone here in SC.

Answer to JustinTV comment.
We tried to get another platform/video system but Justine Lamb wouldn't have it[Conflict of interest and ego???].
HelloWorld.com My Brother flew from LasVegas.
The trial was the Chicago Rally last spring/early summer. problem was the hotel hosting the event didn't have highspeed internet in the hall of the Rally. The result was similar to highspeed dialup connection... Terrible.
But we couldn't demonstrate againwhere there was an infestructure.
Dummer!
Why not use multiple technologies/systems?

One thing the R3VOLUTION requires...
PATIENCE
Arrrghhh....
Justin TV always screws it up. Can't we get anything better than this?
It is new technology
Revolutions have a few aches and pains!
Justin TV Viewers: Here's the Trick
Ever have to jiggle the toilet handle? ;) Justin TV may not be the MSM, but...hey, they're not the MSM!! :D
They may have their broadcasting foibles, but at least they DO give RP info to a wide audience. Be patient, grasshopper. Here's what you do:
Go to "last broadcast" on Feb. 19, 2008, click on the forward and backward arrows until you come up with something. You might even need to click on the blue gorilla first (it's an icon they use), and then click on the back arrow button. Eventually, you'll see either Lou sitting behind a desk or the new regional woman sitting next to the desk. The show starts with Lou, at around 9:06pm.
No luck...
Thanks for the tips... still no luck...
I always get to the same point where the video freezes up with lou adjusting his glasses and it goes to hell from there... (shrug)
Maybe we'll get a youtube tomorrow...
On an upbeat note, I got a short personal email from Dr. Paul tonight that was not expected! I wrote him a quick note about his congressional campaign here in Dist. 14 in Texas and he wrote back;
"Ron, Than you so much for your nice note. Letters like that give me a lot of encouragement. I deeply appreciate your support. Ron"
Off topic, I really want to thank you all for your wonderfully generous support of his congressional campaign. Thank you all so much for your help, it is really appreciated.
Ron
The Video freezes for me in
The Video freezes for me in the same exact spot, except the audio keeps playing so its fine, especially considering that the video is so poor in quality its a waste to bother watching it. I don't mind just listening to it.
So cool of you fanofwalt!
Thanks Dude!
It was great and I really think they should do this every week.
The main message is we ARE moving forward.
We need to get involved as Delegates, Precinct Chairman.
We need EVERYONE to sign up as a Precinct leader!
There are only 180000 precincts nationwide.
Could you imagine if every one of those precincts was covered by us?
Just do it! EVEN if your Primary is over. There is a reason.
Sign up today. There is a lot inside there. You need to log in to see
it. It is very empowering!
Please do it now!! The Campaign is pleading for us to do this:
