http://goooh.com/ A good plan of attack I think.

Be the Miracle!

I say since the socialist are running in the republican and democrat parties we should have our liberty minded people run as republican and democrats in the primaries. Wouldnt it be something if they both won the primaries then whoever wins we win. Remember Bob Conley won the democrat primary in S.C. it is unfortianate that whoever counted the vote already figured out what percentage of the vote he was going to get.

In Tennessee- Paper Ballets will return, Finding honest people to count them is another story. Kim Tipton I am aproud Ron Paul delegate from district two in blount county Tennessee. http://state.tn.us/sos/el... page 4

oops.

I want to run for U.S. Congress in Colorado's 6th congressional district. The incumbent will be the former Secretary of State Mike Coffman who is a Republican. He just beat a Democrat handily 60% to 40%. Both candidates supported the war on terror. I want to run as an independent as having to run as a republicrat makes me sick to my stomach. I should have ran this year but I have never ran for any type of public office before. I worked for the federal government in the recent past but never held any type of political position. I'm planning on starting an internet radio show here soon.

Mike Coffman raised 1.2 + million dollars. Hank Eng raised 231,00 + dollars. I might run for city council or state legislature instead. My platform would be the Constitution. If I raised $200,000 - $300,000 at least my name might get out and I might have a chance. If I run as an independent I know I will be rail roaded and ignored. I would announce my candidacy in January or February of 2009. I did run for delegate at the Caucus level in February and was one vote shy of a 3 way tie for 2 delegate positions so I have had some exposure in my precinct to people that would be my constituents. Any comments, encouragements, and critical responses would be greatly appreciated.

Take Back Your Country!

I got an idea that's something akin to cliff diving into a dry ocean.
I wouldn't mind wouldn't running for Governor for my State of Oregon. Except I wouldn't know where the hell to begin with.

I have not held any public office, and I'm just barely finding out about my town public meetings.

I recognize the principles...
"If you have a right to anything, then don't ask permission to do it."
"You are free to do anything so long as you do not do harm towards other, or steel from others." (*Steal, as a broad concept)
"Besides, what's a governor? A Yes-Man to the legislatures."

Governor steps down in 2011.

for Congress - Alabama 5th district. Not really sure where to start - I've never run for public office before. Any advice would be appreciated! My views tend to be libertarian - but in this part of the country it seems like the minute you tell people you're libertarian they wonder why you're not wearing a tin-foil hat or something. I'm thinking the thing to do is run independent of any parties, just plainly state my stance on the issues.

We had two REALLY poor choices this year, a Clinton-style dem versus a Bush-style rep. VERY nasty contest - they held no punches. The dem won, but the cool thing was that the margin was very tight - just a few thousand votes. And there were 11,000 write-ins, so that would have swung the election. So maybe that sent a message to the party leadership, who knows. I got 4 write-ins (me and a guy that I work with, plus his wife and mother-in-law).

Make sure you print a lot of t shirts and sweatshirts that say "I am not for sale!" and wear them to every public speaking you do. Forget the suit and tie, they just show you are ready to be paid off. Can you imagine if Ron Paul had campaigned everywhere and showed up on T.V. with a shirt that said " I am not for sale!" I think it would of got a lot of press and would have made a huge impact.

Get involved in the GOP and talk to people, make friends, and see what happens. That is the only way to influence people for the better is face to face in a social setting and the party parlamentary atmosphere does that. I'm busy and have health issues so I doubt I'd want a real job like congress or having to wear a monkey suit.

Its Time to Mellow. Obama won. We are Republicans ! They just don't realize they are Rhino's. They need to be infected with a liberty virus.

A covert liberty thought virus that destroys the desire for domination and releases a love of what America stands for ... Liberty !

One Voice, One Vision, One Love ~ Liberty.
Good Thoughts, Good Words , Good Deeds.
That is the Ron Paul rEVOLution Creed.

One Louv. ;-)..

and hustle to prove why our ideas are better than big government programs and central planning...

hustle to get an e-mail list, call talk radio often, especially local talk radio.

i'm running for state rep, and it won't be republican or democrat, if you disagree, fine.

Well the first thing you need to do is take a deep breath and exhale all that bad energy before I tell you it doesn't matter. Not in the traditional sense. I think it is abundantly clear the establishment will go way out of it's way to torpedo any outsiders trying to break in. Taking over a party is unrealistic in most cases and at the end of the day all that really matters is who counts the votes.

Now, that being said I have to say not all is lost. What a campaign, any campaign does for a person is it allows that person to use the campaign as a forum to share ideas and spread a message. Of course we know the establishment tactics so you can't play around. You have to hit them harder and harder each and every time you're blessed with an opportunity. This opportunity is what we need to increase. Trying to force more opportunity for a candidate is hard because a candidate can only make so many appearances at so many town halls.

However, if more people ran. If every incumbent were challenged and could be debated on many many fronts. Then that would increase our opportunity to speak out. The incumbents go to work everyday find all new ways the screw us. So really your campaign could start anytime. Start collecting the dirt on your opponent and start putting together your platform. Get yourself a little website and pledge to run if you get enough donations to cover the filing fees.

Even if you don't really wanna run or know you really won't. Setting this up would be a good practice for you and a good model for others to emulate. In the process you may also find someone better to run in your stead. Whatever the case may be setting up and having a working campaign infrastructure ready to go that has everything but a campaign and a candidate. Will make everything much better come crunch time.

As soon as the precinct caucus season hits we need to be active and driving the issues and get people leaning our way to start with.

And get into as many PCO positions as possible. These are auto-delegate appointments. Many PCO slots are open as an apathetic people that doesn't participate in the process leaves these gatekeeper positions uncontested more often than you might think.

Best case is to have all the PCO slots. Next is to have as many PCOs in as many districts as possible. Plus, having at least one precinct captain for every precinct in the country and dominating every uncontested precinct in the country.

"Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multicultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstances of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat."

We need to stop using Ron Paul in every other sentence. It simply is not productive. If we can't make a blog post or discuss sound money without praising Ron Paul then we are going to lose half our audience.

Seeing all these posts all over the internet reminds me of how some Bible thumpers can't seem to form an argument without quoting from the Bible.

Let stick to the message. Don't let anybody know if you are a Republican. Keep them guessing.

Out of touch city councils love to hide their re-election bids in off-election years. Just after the New Year, visit your board of elections and get details about running to replace the tyrants installing cameras and other actions offensive to liberty in your town.

Even if one vote doesn't make a difference on the outcome of a council vote, so many of these tyrannical votes go over unanimously and, for the sake of class, could someone please just vote no?

Here where I am...there are DeeJays that have a huge following
The Rise Guys (check out their message board!!)..and also the radio jocks at 107.9 The Link/

They host a lot of events for chairty..where people who want to run for office can go..and get to meet a lot of people and get a mention for free on the air if the cards are played right...have MySpace pages..invite local people on their shows for a chat.

Its a good way to start..and reaches the people.

Freedom is another way to God...A corrupt government is a straight way to hell.

We'll see. Whatever the crazy people of MD will allow me to serve as, I guess.

It's a 5 minute animated video over a recorded speech from Tommy Douglas

I highly recommend watching it before continuing. I'll wait.

three points:

- You can't beat them within their own system. Running third-party is an attempt to beat them at their own game. It's like the move the Laberynth. You can't get to David Bowie by walking through the maze that he created to keep you out. You have to do what he did, or go arond it entirely. This brings up the next point:

- Use a method that has already demonstrated works.. The White House is currently occupied by fake Christians and very fake Republicans. They pretended to be good. They pretended to be Republican. It worked. People were fooled. Let's do what they did. It's a working model. Half of the country is so caught up in the two-party system that we are even willing to fight to protect our team, no matter what the politicians are doing.

Lastly:

- Ditch the polorazation We are all on the same team. The divide exists between the people and the government. It doesn't exist between the left v right. In fact there is no left v right. That's just an illusion. It would be like putting on the blond haired blue eyed citizens on one side and all the brown-harned brown-eyed people on the other. Who cares if you have blue eyes? Who cares if you are liberal on the issues? What matters are the fundamentals. Most Americans want to get out of the war. Most Americans want to go back to the Constitution. Most Americans know we are on the wrong track. Gay marriage, abortion, immigration, and all that other crap that we fight about. They call those subjects "wedge" issues for a reason. They use them to control us into stupid arguments where nothing gets done. We are like the Plaintiff and the Defendants, who fight over stupid things, but the Lawyers always win.

I think that chipping away at the offices is a great strategy no matter if 2010 is viewed as to early or not. One thing that I would beg for people to consider is name recognition. Start putting up signs with liberty candidate names now. It does not have to refer to the office position that is being sought but merely something as simple as "So and So wishes to talk with you about your local issues." Or getting involved with schools, churches, local television stations, etc...

NAME RECOGNITION IS KEY

Broadcast and talk.

I would like to run as a state rep. here in PA. I'm from the 4th district and my congressman keeps on giving my money to all kinds of private industries. Enough is enough. I've been reading up on economics and government in general. When I think I'm ready, I will get ahold of Ron Paul's Liberty PAC and the C4L for some direction and guidance. Well, that is if we aren't plunged into martial law by then...

Do the work and become a precinct leader. I started a website here:
http://www.unitetherevolu...
that I've done delaware county in Pennsylvania (click on the area to see what I've done). A while ago I sent out a spreadsheet for people to fill out for all the elected officials but no one filled anything out.

So, if you care about changing your county then fill in who is in the electable positions and then take out traitors. I started with my county. If anyone else wants to get this done in their own area then let me know.

What's needed RIGHT now is a couple of rich benefactors who can fund some well done commercials that focus on Message. In other words, the public has to hear a new language, be sold on some talking points, and have one message sold several years in a row.

That's how it works with the public, you have to hammer for a while and eventually people vote for it just to shut it up. So after about 5 years of message hammering, the candidates can come forward and actually run a campaign that repeats the message the public has been pre-indoctrinated with.

BUT. This takes careful long term strategy planning, and funding. Something the "true patriots" find difficult. (Insert comment about cat-herding libertarians).
