DIVIDED WE FALL - We have to unite all groups

How many people believe that any single candidate or movement can win against one of the two chosen ones? Every person I've spoken to believes in quite a few of Ron Paul's positions and that's quite a few people. This is 100% not 99% or 75%! If I get a chance to sincerely discuss an issue they don't believe in, they always give some media driven garbage to not believe it. Most often, I am able to change that opinion. In personal one-on-one discussions, I have over 90% success in turning their position toward Dr. Paul... even today with the perception that he has no chance.

This is very powerful information, people. However, the way things stand right now, he has virtually no chance. I say this because we currently have no united stand. Let's face it, while Barr may be a great candidate for some of you, a vote for him is one less vote for Paul, not one less for Obama. Nader stands for many things that we don't, but he also stands for tearing down the two party strangle hold in DC. McCain supporters are mostly supporting their party and their second reason is because he's a so-called war hero. I swayed one of them just yesterday that had no idea of his real war record. How many here know that Huckabee is still getting noticable percentages in the primaries or local conventions? That's tragic if we're in this to win.

Ok, so you say this is a long process and Dr. Paul winning isn't the only thing we're in it for? Well, I say that's BS in the biggest way. As a new delegate and the new Secretary of the local GOP, I can tell you that it will be exactly like voting for Perot was in the nineties. It sent a big message to DC which no action followed. We will be stuck in this same game in 4 years. I absolutely guarantee it. It's happened to every message sent that I can find throughout history.

Ok, so you then say that we're gaining delegates and this will make a difference? How? The fact is that it won't. There may be small changes here and there or even some national attention, but the change we're looking for - a genuine representative government of the people - won't change if they can help it. They have too much at stake to allow their control to be lost. I don't care if you beleive in truth movements or JFK games or the current military industrial complex or corporatism lobbying controlling the puppet politicians or even the CFR running the NAU and FED reserve system. Whatever the reason and whomever is against honest government, there's no denying that we are being suppressed in both the media and the polls. I even noticed that our local NPR public radio station in Eastern Nebraska reported all the results of the Iowa straw polls except they didn't even mention Dr. Paul's name once. (They conveniently offer no direct contact information on their site and failed to report any emails against this stance to their generic email addresses.)

So, the fact is that we have to stop getting all hyped over Barr or Ventura or anything else and consolidate one platform to promote! We've been so organized in the past, how can everyone not see that this is the only way it can happen? If we all got together, our numbers would rival or beat all three of the other candidates. No one here doubts that, especially if word got out that it was happening. Just think of how a news broadcast would be perceived if they were forced to report on the same day the following events.

"Jessie Ventura endorses Ron Paul."
"Bob Barr endorses Ron Paul."
"Ron Paul supporters marched a million people on DC today."
"Ron Paul broke another fundraising record yesterday."
"One Thousand national republican delegates sent a letter endorsing Ron Paul to the media and GOP chairman today."
"Ron Paul supporters caused an Obama rally to shut down today."
"Ron Paul challenges the other remaining candidates to a charity debate"
"Ron Paul claims that the other candidates platforms cannot be paid for and they will bankrupt America."
"Ron Paul charges that the media has broken the RICO act and inequitable supported candidates causing irreparable harm."

and the best one,
"Ron Paul announces his silent and underreported campaign is going full force with hour long prime time commercials."

That information would be too tasty for all media to ignore and word would definitely get out. The problem is that that's still not enough. We're not dealing with a fair game on a fair playing field so we need yet another step.

While these sound bites will help, we have got to get each issue's discussion to the people in a manner that outlays more details. People will go to Obama if "Change is Hope" is all they compare them on. On the other hand, if they learn the details of how to eliminate the IRS, FED, Iraq war, Dept. of Ed and they see personal benefit, we can begin to sway them toward our side from a distance. I'm not saying the publishing of such information is easy but we first have to get the information consolidated in a way that's indisputable. We can then send them there or advertise that location as the only non-influenced information available anywhere. I have been working on this last problem diligently for a few months and I now call on the rest of you to make it happen.

I'm creating two websites with this goal in mind. Together, they will show indisputable proof of popular opinion and every issue's comparison between the candidates. The format is engaging and extremely addictive while the data it makes available is transparent and enlightening. In addition, these benefits can be applied to any topic such as global warming or non-political topics. It has the capability to reduce the media's bias and the government's propaganda to zero effect.

I have almost zero web skills myself other than 'old day's' programming experience. I have a couple people interested in making it happen but we still lack some skills. I am officially calling upon others in this group (mainly because this group has shown to me the most dedication and online expertise) to contact me and offer their services. There's no pay in it initially, but if it goes viral that may change. Fortunately, we're not in it for the money at this time. ...yet. For all of you repeatedly talking about making some real change, let's forget donating money at this time and make a real difference.

And if Dr. Paul has the opportunity to read this, I hope you understand that many of us in The Revolution ARE in this for you to become the greatest president in US history. Only the president can fix the problems that are pushed down from the top. If you call upon us during your presidency, we'll fix the rest from the bottom up! Don't give up or even allow your drive for that top spot to apathy. We haven't and we all lose hope when you do. Stay strong, concentrate on the root problems (as you always do) and start giving hope back to those who believe it has left us.
