Willie Nelson if nudged could endorse Ron Paul - Grassroots make it happen

[newmedia4ron]

WILLIE NELSON ENDORSEMENT?

I believe Willie is friends with Arlo Guthrie (who just endorsed Ron).

Willie has said in an interview that he liked Ron Paul but supported Dennis Kucinich at the time (Kucinich has recently dropped out).

Its realistic that Willie Nelson could endorse Ron Paul.

But I think he might need a nudge from us.

Why care about a celebrity endorsement? Because it is free advertising.


PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL, FAX (FREE INTERNET FAXING (http://faxzero.com)) OR LETTER TO WILLIE NELSON REQUESTING HE CONSIDER ENDORSING RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT.

ill be calling....just as i did for mtv!!!

[Vox Populi]

Believe it or not, country music is highly influencial to republicans. That's my take, but what do I know? LOL

Willie Nelson endorsed G Edward Griffin's book "The Creature from Jekyll Island" which talks about the Federal Reserve. I would think with Willie being against the IRS and the "War on Drugs" that he would certainly give Ron Paul a looksee.

I think Willie Nelson should endorse Ron Paul, and hopefully other country musicians as well.

[MikeStanart]

Keep on pushing; guys. I'd love to see a domino effect of endorsements.

[BuddyRey]

Willie Nelson of all people would know how abusive and insensitive the IRS is. Same with the War on Drugs. He's a Ron Paul endorsement waiting to happen!

[runderwo]

Remember Willie Nelson is a big advocate of family farming, is a big advocate of marijuana and hemp, and got nailed by the IRS a while back.

[McDermit]

we personally handed him lit explaining rp's positions on drugs, the war, and the IRS back in September. And he's said that he likes RP.

Not sure what the man's waiting for...

[nodope0695]

That would be cool.:D

[newmedia4ron]

[Molly1]

Maybe Willie Nelson and his buddies would like to throw a grassroots fundraiser for Ron Paul?

What's he waiting for? :D

[newmedia4ron]

What's he waiting for?

emails, letters and faxes from concerned citizens

[Molly1]

emails, letters and faxes from concerned citizens

It's a way to get exposure in the MSM.

Tell him the lights are going out and we need him.

Like most people, I'm sure Willie Nelson doesn't want his e-mail address flooded by letters, people have sent him an e-mail and others personally handed the information on Ron Paul. I seriously, would reconsider having people e-mail him. I'm not trying to be a wet-blanket. I'm just saying look at it from another perspective. How would *you* like to open your e-mail inbox and have it flooded? I know I don't like spam, and I also know I don't like people I don't know e-mailing out of the blue...

he already gets flooded by all of his fans, we need to send him enough so that ours stick out

[MayTheRonBeWithYou]

Willie would be AWESOME.

[PatriotOne]

Before WN endorsed DK, I thought he was a no-brainer for RP. I still have hope he will see the light with a little education.

[PatriotOne]

Wow....there is a "Willie Nelson is on Tour (tickets for sale)" banner at the bottom of the page as I type this. That happens a lot on different subjects. Talk about global warming, I see a "Save the Polar Bears" banner. Talk about Hillary Clinton, I see a Hillary Clinton banner. Etc, etc., etc. Oh wait.....I think I have just figured out how Google ads work. These aren't coincidences are they :D?

[crasster1]

I said this Months and months ago.... Oh well. Sent him another nice letter.

I've met him several times.

I live close to Carl's Corner TX which is where he grew up. He was in the truck stop there. I'll try to add some local flavor in my letter.

[wgadget]

How about Michael Vick?

[chiplitfam]

Done! BUMP

[Dark_Horse_Rider]

I hope he will. Doesn't Willie look just like one of the founding fathers ? I thinks so.

[HillbillyDan]

I was among those who personally handed RP lit to Willie. We were front row at one of his concerts, and we had Ron Paul shirts on, RP beach balls flying around the arena, AND personally handed him a War on Drugs card, a mosaic flyer, and a personal letter. He gave us a few winks and thumbs up throughout the night when we released the beach balls, seemingly indicating his support.

And as was already pointed out, he has said that he likes RP. Knowing all of this, let's make an effort to try NOT annoying him or his reps/assistants in our attempts to get an endorsement from him.

I'd suggest stopping the "email Willie" effort immediately, and offer an alternative method of contact: a joint letter from the RP grassroots. We can write something nice and inspiring, like that letter in the endorsement acquisition thread, coupled with a more personal touch, and compile it as a google Doc, allowing any members of the grassroots to edit the letter and sign their names and locations at the bottom.

Give it a few days to circulate and accumulate signatures, then print out a nice hard copy and mail it signature required to his agent/reps.

I think it'd be a lot less annoying, and a stronger show of support than flooding his inboxes. And it would be 100 times more likely to actually get in front of him, whereas emails and regular fan mail letters are read by an assistant. Touring artists generally don't have the time to sit and sort through fan letters, and there is no better way to get a time sensitive letter in front of him.
