We should step back and take a close look at
where the Ron Paul Campaign is now. By meaning the Campaign
I mean: The Campaign for the GOP nomination & The
Campaign for President (Will be part of another post)
1- The Campaign for the GOP nomination:
The Campaign is doing great in terms of financial and
recruitment resources:
- The official Campaign is creating and
coordinating events, hiring new staff, going door to door,
airing Tv/Radio adds, distributing video/audio/text material
- Supporters are joining in thousands
- Supporters are creating meetup groups and organizing
different creative events to spread the message
- 24hours Money fundraising events are bringing in record
sums:
o First Money Bomb (4.3 Millions “Remember the 5th”
)
o Second Money Bomb (6.1 Million “The Boston Tea
Party”)
o The next Money Bomb on Dr. Martin Luther King (A hero
in the eyes of Dr. Paul) Monday 01/21/2008
- Supporters are joining to get elected as delegates and
precinct leaders
- Supporters are volunteering to watch the vote, count
and report the vote and report any misconduct in the polling
locations
- Supporters are creating new Radio and Web TV stations
to deliver the message
- Supporters raised money to fly a Blimp to make people
curious about the “Who is Ron Paul, Google Ron Paul”
and make them go search for information about Dr. Paul
- Supporters are organizing to take part in Straw Polls
and show support for Ron Paul
- Supporters are maintaining and enlarging the Revolution
Internet Social Network
- Supporters are doing the great work of going door to
door and delivering the message
- Supporters are watching the old mainstream media (Which
still dominate in delivering the “Information”
to the voters) and reacting to the exclusions, the ignoring,
the ridiculing, the misinformation and smear attacks
- Supporters are organizing Fundraising and other creative
events to promote the message
- The Ron Paul internet Community is keeping growing,
supporters are coming with new ideas and solutions to
deliver the message. Websites and platforms are created
on a daily basis to support Dr. Paul are created daily.
Ron Paul forums, blogs, wikis, … etc are actively
used to exchange information and discuss the subjects
- Supporters call in for Dr. Paul after every TV debate
he takes part in
- Supporters are recording, creating video/audio files
and sharing them with the voters on the internet
- Supporters are changing their profile pictures to Dr.
Paul picture
- Supporters are linking the Campaign website and other
grassroots websites from their personal, commercial, Social
Network sites, … etc
- Supporters search, comment, explain, argument, digg
the news articles and dominate the discussions gently
with facts
- Supporters vote in every online Poll and share the link
with others
- Supporters organize marches together, create Ron Paul
signs, distribute materials, stand in snow holding signs,
stand in the mood holding signs to make the people aware
of the Ron Paul Revolution
- And a lot more ….
Do you see what a great job the grassroots
are doing? All other candidates can just dream of it.
Why do you think that we hear more and more often now
those other candidates stealing parts of Dr. Paul’s
message? You can just hope that they believe in what they
say!
Let’s see where we are now:
Iowa 10% (2 delegates), NH 8% , Michigan
6% , Nevada 14% (4 delegates), SC 4%
Total= 8 delegates
Next States: Florida
Super Tuesday
… To see the dates for each state and the current
results: www.wtpcast.com/CD_DVD_squeeze.asp
I think the official Campaign and the
Grassroots did a great job with the resources they have.
I think we couldn’t have done better except if we
had a centralized COORDINATION!
I have two points I would like to discuss
with you:
1- The grassroots coordination:
I think it is a great thing to have a decentralized Campaign,
it gives the supporters the ability to be involved directly
in the Campaign. This is what makes the supporters active,
It realizes the creativity of the supporters!
I think we should start coordinating the Grassroots efforts
to avoid doing things twice (ex. I created a Web channel
4 weeks ago where supporters can gather to discuss and
create video/audio content to deliver the message on CD,
paper, online …, www.wtpcast.com . Now I see more
people coming with the same idea and concentrating their
efforts on this instead of concentrating on one).
I think we should work on centralizing our efforts in
order not TO WAIST OUR RESOURCES!
The official campaign can’t and should not get involved
in the Grassroots efforts coordination due to resources
and legal matters
I think we should start coordinating our efforts in order
to keep track on:
Who is doing what and when?
Who is participating and creating what?
Who needs help with what?
Where can I contribute with my skills?
Where can I keep track on what has been and should be
done?
…. Etc

2- Delivering the message: Why multimedia
material is such a great message delivery
When you see those fringe candidates
(they call them frontrunners in the old mainstream) wining
a state by 130 thousand votes, you ask yourself: Did we
reach these voters and delivered the message? No, I don’t
think so, may be some of them heard about Dr. Paul, but
I am pretty sure that these voters didn’t hear the
uncensored Dr. Paul message!
Is it really that hard to reach so many voters? Well yes,
in a country with a 300 Millions population it is not
that easy! But let’s see why it is so hard for this
campaign in particular:
- The old mainstream media, Main TV and
newspapers had vowed to ignore, to ridicules, smear and
exclude Dr. Paul from the elections coverage. We all know
why! He makes all other candidates look bad because he
is honest, consistent and highly intelligent and intellectual:
All in all “A rare politician” and his record
shows it. He makes them look unfair and unbalanced. He
just make them loose their masks!
I think we can bypass them and bring
the message to every voter by taking one or two hours
of our time and burn some CD’s with Dr. Paul’s
videos which are available in all over the internet. These
CD’s can be delivered in rallies by Supporters,
distributed from door to door by volunteers, … etc
YOU NAME IT!
The impact of such an event is unimaginable:
NOBODY CAN STAY INDIFFERENT TO DR. NO MESSAGE ONCE THEY
WATCH HIS VIDEOS
Think about it, it doesn’t take
you much effort and it helps other voters find Dr. Paul.
If 1 000 supporters burn 10 CD’s
each, WE CAN GET 10 000 voters Dr. Paul’s message.
At least 30% will join the campaign and vote for Dr. Paul.
That’s 3 000 VOTES
If 10 000 supporters burn 10 CD’s
each, WE CAN GET 100 000 voters Dr. Paul’s message.
