Friends, the 2008 DC March, is gonna be a boomlet unless the Freedom Movement comes to terms with the future. The march I advocate is when we inaugurate Ron Paul as president. But we have to have a campaign first!
Truly, I think we should be putting our efforts into convincing Ron Paul to run 3rd party (LP, as Paul's a lifetime member or Constitution Party) with a credible running mate, say, Judge Andrew Napolitano or former New Mexico 2-term Governor, Gary Johnson. Heck, Napolitano/Johnson would be a helluva ticket.
Would the activists of the day have let Washington, Adams, Jefferson, retire to the farm before victory was won?
If all the choices come down to McClinton or McBama and the freedom movement fails to offer up its own credible choice, then we deserve to be shamed, for failing to continue the fight for the hearts and minds by exposing, introducing, educating, and recruiting hundreds of thousands if not millions of new recruits to the movement by competing in the presidential general election. To me, this whole exercise has been about educating the sheeple on how to regain their liberty and freedom and their republic.
Many lessons have been learned. We must put those lessons to good use in a fall campaign. One of the biggest lessons is the soft, lighter than grandma's biscuits, hq generated campaign ads (that are still running, for heaven's sake!). We needed hard hitting Ron Paul CPAC-speech type ads that went at our socialist competitors in the gop. We need ads that compared and contrasted freedom and big govt statism. The freedom message sells when presented properly, yet HQ had the money to put these ads together but failed miserably. We must heed these lessons for the spring, summer and fall general campaign.
And a march on Washington, without the prospect of competing in the fall?! Hell, your asking for a resounding dud, period. Lets get real here. After Ron Paul secures his primary congressional race on March 4th, Ron Paul should say, 'damn the torpedoes' full-speed ahead', and dive right into a presidential quest. Rest assured this will keep the movement together, focused and highly juiced and the money will flow again when the people see, wow, yes, we battle forward in earnest !
Yes, continue to try to take over the gop, if your into that, great. But dont expect democrats, independents, union workers, the unemployed, remnants of our fading middle-class who could give two sh@ts about the gop, but who support the freedom message and whose eyes have been forever opened, dont expect them to follow you in your quest to overtake the neocon gop.
The Freedom Movement must battle forward denying the gop the white house by running at them and condeming their welfare/warfare message by peeling off 10%, 15%, 20% of the general election vote, while at the same time educating and recruiting the masses to freedom's cause and for future electoral battles. Rest assured, the gop will see the light when they know they will be forever denied the white house until they come around to the freedom message.
"Power, without a demand, concedes nothing!"
