I feel terribly for the way man has abused animals throughout history.
Especially the Chinese. These guys will eat anything,and are one of the main causes of extinction.
I remember seeing that video of the girl trying to save dolphins being massacred by the Japanese "fishermen".
I was sooo outraged I wrote the Japanese Govt ripping them a new one.
I can understand killing to eat and survive. But killing or capturing for pleasure ,luxury,or blood lust is inexcusable.
Sorry to get off topic.
you have a good point and we need to take it into consideration. Thanks, for your persistence. Is there any circumstance that it would be ok like if it was a little elephant with no tusks and lots of good stuff to eat and all it has to do is eat and look at the stupid people and lay down in a bunch of nice soft hay?
Peace
But I'll show my response to Blackmira's email to me:
Hi,
I understand your concerns. Please check out the website www.havetrunkwilltravel.c... . They are committed to conserving the Elephant Species and have very capable and caring handlers. I believe generalizing the known acts of some immoral people to others who work in the same field is stereotyping a person. In my view the group is not the same as the individual.
My vision is just to have an elephant for Ron Paul at the Convention. I think he deserves the mascot of his party at the convention and the supporters deserve to know that they represent the true values of the Republican Party and the american ideal. So, no tricks or acts, just the awe inspiring prescence of a giant pachyderm to lighten the mood.
However humble, my ambition probably outstrips my ability as I am already strapped for time. This operation, without more support, will likely fall to the "what might have been" category.

If Blackmira wants to bump this post with more fearful, hatemongering then so be it, but it is a poor substitute for actual facts.
if you want to call that "hatemongering" and "fearful," go ahead. I could show you all the recent news stories about elephants going on rampages among crowds and how many innocent bystanders have been killed or hurt, but you don't want to hear about the truth.
Agressively anti-social would be going ahead with your insane plan without listening to reason or facts.
I believe the campaign will have something to say about how dangerous and ill-advised this "stunt" would be.
I thought this movement was against Big Brother watching over us, telling us what do? Well apparently some people think its their right to tell us what we can and can't do.
You have provided no facts, as you cannot predict the future and you have shown no implicit knowledge about the organization who provides elephants. I ask of you now are you in the Ron Paul's official campaign? Do you own our minds? If you aren't in Ron Paul's official campaign you have absolutely no idea what their beliefs are. If you don't own our minds then you cannot tell us what we can and can't do.
I pity you for your belief that people should listen to a person with an opinion but no facts. I relegate that line of thinking to the Bill O'Reilly's and Sean Hannity's of the world.
like a place havetrunkwilltravel. I guess we can't go much further until we find out if headquarters is interested. Because we need the where and when etc.
Thanks, jshowell for sharing the dream. Peace
I have studied animals in captivity for the past 20 years and I am looking out for their welfare and people's safety. I don't know where you got the idea that animal sanctuaries "rent" out their elephants.
You want to know about ideas? How about going out every weekend and handing out free DVDs and Ron Paul flyers in your city, talking to hundreds of people for the past 3 months?
Who's denying you to have "ideas"? How about having some ideas without any blowback to them or that more than a few people that have knowledge about captive animals aren't telling you WHY it's a really bad idea?
I don't deny anyone their opinion, but spamming your opinion over other people's posts is offensive and aggresively anti social. I hope you will see ideas are free and you are free to not support anything you do not like.
if you want to call that "hatemongering" and "fearful," go ahead. I could show you all the recent news stories about elephants going on rampages among crowds and how many innocent bystanders have been killed or hurt, but you don't want to hear about the truth.

My e-mail is runforron@gmail.com if you want to tell me how much you want to donate. I don't want to worry about people complaining about me trying a scheme if everything doesn't fall through, so $1.00 seemed like something everyone could part with. There was one poster who said they were in for $500.00. I've never done a chip-in, but if the support is there and I get some information about permits and Ron Paul's schedule I'll put up a Chip-In.
St. Paul area that could help figure out how to make this happen or someone who could talk to headquarters and someone who needs to talk to the elephant handlers to see if this is even feasible. Let's get this right.
1) Someone call headquarters to see if this is ok to do.
(I sent a email but did not get an answer.) If anyone in the Paul
Family is reading this let us know if this is ok or off base with the Dr.
2) Someone call handler of elephant if this is possible and if need permits
etc.
3) Chip in is in place. (Good job.sorry forgot your name)
4) Any thing I forgot.
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.
Lead, follow or get out of the way. If people get behind this idea, then great if not then nothing will happen. All you people without ideas stay home.
This is what this movement has been overcome with-a bunch of snivelling, miserable retches who can't lift a finger to save their own lives. It's sick and pathetic to deny a person the right to have an idea.
I feel sorry for all the people who cannot and will not open their minds to the possibilites we all have in this movement. Are we not made to act, not to sit on our hands?

Or their record. You don't even know these people. You cast judgement on people you do not know. I don't know you besides your words and thus far you have proven to only be judgemental without facts.
Once again, without an idea besides debasing other ideas with your unsubstantiated, generalized opinions you are less than nothing. You are a negative influence and I choose to ignore your advice.
And its just an idea..so what? I like the idea of tons of revolutionaries in tri cornered hats with a huge contingent of fife and drums as Ron Paul ends the freedom walk and enters St Paul! Will it happen?..I dunno but I love the visual! Ron Paul said have fun and I think anyone who has an idea should not be afraid to post it here and see where it goes!
I have a thought I keep close to my heart every day ..
"Ron Paul will win in the most spectacular way!!!"
Trust me, I'm not a bible thumper, I haven't gone to church for a long time cause most of its basically corrupt, I just paid attention in catechism class.
My favorite story is the one about the boy who holds his hand in his cloak and won't let go even when robbers beat him to death. As I remember it the boy was holding his heart and his love for God, just his idea that only he alone could see. But, this one idea he viciously clung to, the one idea that made his whole purpose in life a joy so that he would not release his hand from under his cloak. I take inspiration from that story. Your ideas are what you are and our endeavors to make those ideas a reality are our life.
Then someone suddenly, after seeing the poster, decided Dr. Paul should ride the elephant. NOT. The elephant, well controlled is a cute idea, assuming these elephants are as pampered as they seem to be on their website. Any idea of anyone getting ON the elephant takes the idea to circus level and loses any appeal of the idea of a mascot.
But the poster is really cute and I would like to have one. The maker of the poster did not suggest that Dr. Paul or anyone else should/would "ride" the elephant. That idea just came out of left field from "someone's" sense of fun.
The elephant doesn't have to be "in" the crowd. It does not have to lead the walking march. It does not have to lead a parade. We are there for a very, very serious reason and getting too caught up in frivolity could throw us off. But an elephant mascot at the Republican Convention could start a whole new tradition. Just be certain to keep it out of frantic crowds.
who suggested Dr. Paul lead us by riding the elephant it was done in fun.
That happens when people brainstorm. I loved the poster too. I don't think anyone really expects the good Doctor to ride anything. I agree the elephant could be there but some where safe. I think what we need to do is talk to the people who own the elephant and get their in put as to what is and what is not ok. No one wants to hurt, or frighten the elephant. The elephant is a symbol of the revolution. That Ron Paul and his supporters are the real deal.
We are more Republican than the old Republicans who have given
Republican a bad reputation. I agree, we are there for a very serious reason it is my hope that we go with a positive forward moving agenda than go with a hard ass confrontational one. How do we bridge that serious and positive at the same time this is what we need to work on? We could all find our butts tased and in jail or we can go with an optimistic that Dr. Paul will reveal to us our future course of action. I think the headquarters should take the opportunity at the convention to introduce all the people Dr. Paul is endorsing for public office and say work and support these people they are one of us. They believe in what we believe in, Freedom.
Who needs to be scared of the big bad wolf? Not me. We lead by example and as Victor Hugo knows-"An invasion of armies may be resisted buy not an idea whose time has come."
I think this is where our movement is headed, to forming and executing brilliant ideas through brainstorming. If it weren't for a few close minded individuals our potential would be limitless.
It's very professional to have the centuries old mascot of the GOP attend the Republican National Convention. As point of fact the Elephant rental company rents Elephants on a regular basis to Republican Candidates. Ask them yourself if you don't believe me.
Why do you keep pushing your agenda? There are other alternatives to having live animals in crowds and you're assuming Ron Paul would even go along with such a ridiculous and dangerous gimmick.
Read up on elephants going on rampages in crowds and then you'll understand what you are suggesting is insane and selfish. No need to turn this Revolution into a circus.
The picture is absolutely great and should go viral. The Hannibal discussion was real fun! Bring an elephant to the convention, but don't put the good doctor on an elephant for real. It's a nice image, but in reality it looks insipid.
My website skills aren't all that great, but I've made a website to see the support of this idea. It's $5000.00 to hold the date. They'll tell me when the dates fill up.
I'll go ahead and say it. Shut UP. If you ain't got a dog in the fight then don't pop your gums.

We can all say what needs to be done, but who here led by example today?
sorry, im all for creative ways to spread the message, but this is just embarrasing.
you want ron paul to come in riding an elephant!?
all the media will label us kooks (and rightly so if ron paul rides a fricken elephant).
also, security will just tell you to piss off and it'll be one big waste of money.
we are when we have an idea? Do you feel that excitement and positive energy? Hang on to that feeling, don't let the negative stifle this energy.
We have over a million votes. that's outstanding we are more than a movement we are a living, breathing organized voting block. We matter, we are important we know what we want. Keep the faith, keep positive, keep moving forward. Those who have made fun of us, we're used to them laughing at us so what it's their loss we are having FUN and supporting the best candidate that has come along since who knows when. Ron Paul is leading a new and energize Republican party and it would be right that he ride are lead. Those who say it is silly I say the old media and the old Republicans are silly. Lead, follow or get out of the way. Peace and Love
You know nothing about the temperament of captive elephants. There's plenty of other ways to draw attention without resorting to using live, wild animals in crowds.
that would be great because it would symbolize the NEW generation in the GOP and Dr. Paul bringing them to the party, under the banner of the Constitution. Wow, I think it would be a heck of a statement. Maybe, the elephant could be at the rally already and Dr. Paul could feed it some peanuts with his grandkids and Carole and Rand something like that so people who are sorry for the elephant don't have a seizure.
" Operation New GOP" Peace and Victory
Excitement is whats needed to bring our own Ron Paul supporters to the march. The bigger the march the better. Out of box thinking has been a blessing for this movement. Please keep up the good work
and no way will McCain even look at Dr. Paul much less debate him.
Yes, the force will be out with tasers and if the elephant runs because of some instigators well, hopefully the elephant takes a few of them out. Just kidding. They want to portray us as the trouble makers, well we won't let them. Hell, we can sing and dance to Steve Dore songs. We really need to make this a really really happy occasion. It will be a happy occasion because our revolution the love revolution will continue. We are going to elect real Ron Paul Republicans and we are going to continue going to local meeting and we are not giving up. If we give up we write our obituaries, death of a nation. Peace
You're absolutely right about McCain. Even among Republicans who detest his foreign policy, Dr. Paul is nowadays considered to be a very smart man. McCain is also understood to be a man of mediocre intellect who is prone to public gaffes. No way McCain would touch him with a ten-foot pole, if challenged to a one-on-one debate.

Bad idea
I hate to respond with negativity, but I agree with
Greenbean. It's right up there with green hair. Not very professional for a Presidential campaign.
I have to disagree
It's very professional to have the centuries old mascot of the GOP attend the Republican National Convention. As point of fact the Elephant rental company rents Elephants on a regular basis to Republican Candidates. Ask them yourself if you don't believe me.
Drop the idea

yes, you just go ahead with your big important plans
when so many people disagree and say it is a bad idea. That's the way to unify people.

you want ron paul to come in riding an elephant!?

agreed, Greenbean
Not that he would ever agree to do it in the first place....cute idea, but ummmmm
"Truth" and "History" are relative...

in California there is this famous Rose Parade.

Someone suggested a baby elephant
that would be great because it would symbolize the NEW generation in the GOP and Dr. Paul bringing them to the party, under the banner of the Constitution. Wow, I think it would be a heck of a statement. Maybe, the elephant could be at the rally already and Dr. Paul could feed it some peanuts with his grandkids and Carole and Rand something like that so people who are sorry for the elephant don't have a seizure.

horrible idea
how about dressing him as a clown as well?
Sorry sounds like someone with a sick sense of humor or someone trying to cause harm to Dr Pauls Image/Campaign.

We are going to elect real Ron Paul Republicans and we are going to continue going to local meeting and we are not giving up. If we give up we write our obituaries, death of a nation. Peace
You're absolutely right
You're absolutely right about McCain. Even among Republicans who detest his foreign policy, Dr. Paul is nowadays considered to be a very smart man. McCain is also understood to be a man of mediocre intellect who is prone to public gaffes. No way McCain would touch him with a ten-foot pole, if challenged to a one-on-one debate.
