Operation Hannibal

So you say you want to make an impression on the Republican National Convention? You want Ron Paul's name to last for centuries to come and America's path to be corrected for generations? You want the national media recognition our movement so rightly deserves?

One word: Elephants. Hannibal used them to cross the Alps. We'll use them at the National Convention. Imagine just a few Elephants with Ron Paul banners Walking in Downtown St. Paul. Here's a site that rents elephants:

RP08 to restore the Constitution

I've put in a chipin

For everyone that wants to get behind getting an elephant to the Republican National Convention I've put in a Chip in. The elephant owners said it would take $5000.00 to hold the date and $16,500 for a day. I'm all for more ideas to make this the convention when the nation was taken over by patriots.

Bump

Dr. Paul cured my apathy

Okay everybody

Here's the website: www.operationhannibal.com. You can pledge your support there. I still haven't heard back from headquarters about permits and about Dr. Pauls schedule, so if this is important than try on my behalf. From here on I'm going to let you guys take the reins and if it happens then good, if not then it was not meant to be. Thank you oruval for the great picture and all the rest for the great ideas.

Thanks so much js!

elephants for peace

RP08 to restore the Constitution

Gee, how do we

make this happen even if it is a little elephant? If we can't get an elephant how about a float? One side of the float could be all the freedoms we have lost the other side could be all the freedoms we gain with the Constitution. Maybe the dark side and the light side. lol, lol Or we could have Dr. Paul's platform on the float -get it. lol, lol We need something that will symbolize the campaign and our excitement. Something that is fun not confrontational. We want to be different we don't want to be compared to any other group.
We want people to say WOW, what the hell I want to know more about those people. We are running out of time, we really need some ideas. The convention is not the end but only the beginning, "it's the message, stupid"
How about that for the title? hee,hee I sure am in a silly mood this morning. Peace and Love and let's hear your ideas.

I have a dream 10000 elephants and 1000000 RP supporters marching on St.Paul....

RP08 to restore the Constitution

i like this idea, but mayby

i like this idea, but mayby you should have a baby-small elephant. Also "Operation Never forget" sounds alot better to me than operation Hannibal. Ron Paul said to have fun! so do it.

this is a revolution!

imagine headlines "Ron Paul Elephants Crash GOP Convention!"

RP08 to restore the Constitution

Hannibal...

I love it when a plan comes together...

'Live for yourself, there's no one else more worth living for,
Begging hands and bleeding hearts
Will only cry out for more...'

Absolutely Brilliant Idea!

Ron Paul on an Elephant.

It could be a classic...lol. Ron Paul on an Elephant!!!

Visualize and it will be.

Oh, this is just to great

you really need to post this in it's own thread. Title it a REAL REPUBLICAN COMES TO TOWN or something. This photo could be in a tubetube video or something. Peace and Love

One

One of the funniest things I have seen, nice job.

"The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are as bold as a lion."

Good Job man

I agree with alot of the comments here: 1 elephant is enough. I haven't emailed the owners about rides or photos for people to recoup the cost, but it seems like a very fiscally responsible (aka Ron Paul) thing to do.

Don't forget the RhINO in tow...

We can all say what needs to be done, but who here led by example today?

Great Blend...

Good work..... "Onward" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well, I sent an email

to headquarters to see how they feel about it. Don't know if I'll get a reply but it is worth trying. I truly think that whatever we do we have to make it fun.
The goons would love to turn our walk and convention into a taser festival so we have to make it so fun that if they tased one person they would expose themselves for what they are. Peace and Love

Dumbo..!

I am having pink elephants on parade going through my mind now.

http://www.youtube.com/wa...

I think the concept is good

But, the concerns voiced by the other posters here are valid.

I'd suggest first looking into the requirements of the city, to see if this is even allowed, or what permits, etc.

Then, just one elephant would be fine. We don't have to spend a campaign war chest on a publicity stunt.
Keep it where it will be highly unikely to be able to hurt anyone, and make sure that the animal activists don't have any reasons to make a big issue out of it, and get some media coverage.

A small, well-done demonstration with the elephant is cute, and it would be likely to make it onto worldwide TV, even if only for a short time.
Just don't let it turn into a nightmare.

Too peaceful...

This is a revolution.

Why not tanks?

Sorry.

AGREED!

Many sheriff's departments have tanks. Expect to see some soon...

"Operation Elephant Shit".

"Operation Elephant Shit". Basically gives a depiction of the current condition of the Neo-Con's future.

Don't let this idea die...

...it's too good - has too many possibilities.

Don't let anyone throw cold water on it.

When getting permit info, can also get information on incident records.

Also, forward-thinking Paulistas can foresee problems and come up with solutions instead of throwing the baby out with the wash. That's why we're Paulistas!

We're not willing to throw the Constitution in the trash because of faults with America, nor are we willing to throw out good ideas because someone thinks of a potential problem.

Keep brainstorming about Operation Never Forget! (Hannibal, or whatever)

I'm going to bed.

Go Ron Paul!

Operation: Never Forget

I'm for it! Would chip in, too.

Need to get permit info first.

Recoup some of the cost by offering rides for $___/minute.

Signs could be made related to the elephants such as:
Stomp out the neocons
Stomp out the RINO's
Stomp out the Federal Reserve
Stomp out the IRS
Stomp out the UN
Stomp out the MSM
...etc.

Also:
Never forget your 1st amendment rights!
Never forget your 2nd amendment rights!
Never forget you are a sovereign citizen!
Never forget government officials are our servants!
Never forget EVERYONE has a right to life!
...etc.

Let's go for it!

For all the animal advocates

Its deplorable to generalize harsh statements about people you do not know. For example, If I bought a puppy that doesn't mean I bought from an inhumane puppy mill. If you don't know the person then you shouldn't cast judgement.

No this is a BAD BAD idea

Are you not aware of all the times that captive elephants like these forced into being around crowds of people in unnatural settings have gone totally insane and charged and trampled people to death?

These "rental" elephants are beaten and prodded with sharp hooks into submission and kept chained most of the times, so when they are driven into insanity, they turn into charging and killing beasts.

I'm sure someone very innovative can come up with small golf carts or some such motorized vehicle decorated like an elephant or whatever.

But I'll definitely have to fight this idea, it's just an accident waiting to happen to all involved. Please stop any plans for this.

Maybe we should checkout..

Dumbo's record first ? I say if its as clean as Rons, give me some peanuts.... :-P

What you believe too be true, is true too you... :-)

Golf carts...

that is a pretty good symbol for the republican party. Just doesn't quite connect with most folks, though...

Great idea, it will

Great idea, it will symbolise Ron Paul being the Republican party.

I love how we've been able

I love how we've been able to combine our sense of humor and fun with this campaign. I think this is an idea many other RP supporters can rally around. It sure brought a smile to my face.

-This would garner some attention - How can anyone not see a pack of elephants walking down the street?!
-It's good-natured and non-threatening (in a way - HAHA!!)
-It demonstrates the youthful spirit of the campaign - smiling and having a good time even though the ones in power spit on us
-Kids would love it

I was going to post something about this idea to ronpaulforums.com but I can't remember my password. Someone needs to spread the word over there.

If we can't get an elephant --

plan B-- Have a delegate pretend like he's having a heat
stroke and when the cameras
zoom in,have him say--I need a
doctor,please page Ron Paul!!!!
(hey,it's free)

Better Yet...

How 'bout a delegate goes into labor?! Or just some dehydration... And Ron Paul can toss them a bottle of Poland Springs, saving their life, and becoming a TRUE saint and martyr in the eyes of all... Seems to be working with the other campaigns...

I have to bump this

again. This is just an awesome idea.

im in for five hundered
