Look, this guy deserves our help. We know what we can do as a team, let's get to it!

[RonPaulVolunteer]

Landon Cook has been working his ass off, not sitting in a forum all day. His story checks out, and he's the real deal. What he needs most right now is some money to gas his car so he can continue to do the amazing non-stop campaigning he has been doing, and buy some more campaign materials. I don't care if he doesn't win, that's not the point! The point is we need to encourage a fellow soldier and make sure he never regrets all this effort he has expended for the good of Ron Paul's cause, the freedom cause, OUR cause. It is young men and women like this that are the future change of this nation. He deserves a few bucks. We don't need a stinkin' money bomb, let's just load him on up.

Donated $10 George Walshingtons. (bump)

[PauliticsPolitics]

Agreed.
Corey Walsh aka LandonCook is legit and deserves some love.
He is living the example that we all should be inspired by.

We all should be actively involved in local politics.
This is a major strategy in our goal of increased influence.
So throw him a few bones. There's lots of us here, every ounce counts.

I threw in $33... that's like 4-5 packs of smokes here in Chicago!
Something like this is surely worth it.

I thought he was on the other day saying he wasn't running anymore? Am I wrong or has that changed?

I thought he was on the other day saying he wasn't running anymore? Am I wrong or has that changed?

Yes it has changed. We got him some $$, and you and I are going to give him a lot more right... right... :)

[PauliticsPolitics]

I thought he was on the other day saying he wasn't running anymore? Am I wrong or has that changed?

He is still running, he just can't campaign without some scrap cash for gas and signs. The internet doesn't have a big impact in his rural area, so he actually needs to drive around and do it old school.

[Bruno]

Yes it has changed. We got him some $$, and you and I are going to give him a lot more right... right... :)

In that case, Damn Straight! :D
I read his previous posts and he seems like an upstanding patriot. I wish him the best and will donate $25 now.

We need to buy him a second outfit too! :p

(Just kidding Landon. I myself have been known to wear one jacket/hoodie combo for weeks in the winter.)

[Bruno]

Maybe volunteering to make phone calls for him would help? I'm sure some of us could donate even a small amount of time on a weekend when cell calls are free and make some calls for him if numbers were provided and a list of talking points were given. Considering that it is a small community, this could make quite an impact at little to no cost.

I'm actually pretty sure Ron Paul is wearing the same outfit too... just with the addition of a sweater... and I believe he tied his tie the other way.

But hey, us libertarian-minded folks aren't into excess spending!

Thank you so much guys... I'm really going to work my ass off in the morning. In fact, I haven't been this excited to campaign in a while... I was getting pretty discouraged. It makes me feel a lot better just know that I have support from those who believe the same way I do. Thanks again.

PLEASE don't make ME be the thread killer.

[LandonCook]

It wasn't paypal. I wanted the ability to get donations on the website, but I found out that it would cost too much and be too much trouble to do. So thats how I ended up with paypal, and the chipin.

[LandonCook]

Btw guys... I had the best campaigning day every today!!!! I got up at 6 a.m to start campaigning, and I didn't stop till 9 P.M I starting going door to door, but hardly no one was home in the morning, so I ended up putting up signs and talking to people in stores untill everyone got off work... After 4:00 it was all door to door.... I put up 10 new road signs around the county and I brought in 80 new voters today! If I keep this pace, I will win. Thanks for the continued help!

[RonPaulVolunteer]

If I keep this pace, I will win. Thanks for the continued help!

Wesley Smith, 6 term Democrat incumbent.


And it is funny you had mentioned the phone bank because that is exactly what I'm working on right now.... I'm getting together a number of my friends to make weekend phone calls for my campaign. I am building that calling list right now with all the info that I have at my disposal. Along with that, I have a number of mailout material that I will be sending out Monday, and I am also wanting to get a insert into the newspaper... So far im running weekly ads in the paper, while campaigning door to door every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

[LandonCook]

Good Idea.

If somehow I could reach my donation goal of 3000, I know for a fact that I would win my race.

I had a friend do a survey of Searcy county democrats.... out of 50; 21 were voting for my opposition, 12 were voting for me, and 17 were undecided/waiting to meet me.

Not to mention that the republicans are coming out of the woodwork for this election, and i'm in a Republican county.

Right now i'm writing and designing a insert in the newspaper that will probably run me $250 total but will gain me a TON of support.

Nah, don't feel guilty. You're doing people a favor by giving them more opportunities to purchase your service. This isn't some kind of charity. We expect to get something out of this. At the least, we expect to have someone principled and determined fighting the establishment and furthering our movement and at best we are wanting a win.

In fact, it would almost be immoral NOT to give your donaters more chances to get the same great product, especially if the value of that product is going up!

I am donating tonight by the way. And if you keep me updated I'll probably donate again later on.

I'll be sure to add updates. As far as yesterday. It was both Great and horrible. I had a great day of campaigning, I got a ton of votes going door to door. Until my oil pan got hit on a dirt road and my transmission fluid ran out all over searcy county. My car is now in the shop for a week, but thats not going to stop me any. I simply called up some friends and I will be using a friends truck to campaign until I get my car back.

I've had alot of bad luck this year.

I was at Boone camp. So I worked in Des Moine. I was the guy that broke the rules got 40 new supporters every day, by walking around downtown Des Moine for 15 hours a day and talking to people on a one on one level. When I got other people excited about bringing in so many voters and it was drew Ivers that sent them back to cold calling and wanted to send me back to Arkansas...

(I dont waste time) As well as getting a big paper insert finished for next week with some recordings for radio ads.... And I also have a debate on the 24th with wesley, a cookout tommarow, and a fish fry next week. lol

I'm pretty hungry though seeing how I dont have time to eat anymore. lol

Little do they know that From Freedom to Fascism is going to playing on a loop on my BIG tv. LOL.

[LandonCook]

Yesterday was a great day of door to door, cookouts, and fishfrys! I had a friend of mine who went to Iowa with me, and another ron paul supporter come down to my county yesterday and campaign door to door with me. We got a ton of signs put up, and alot of houses covered. I made many public aperences and throughout the day gave long explanations about my interest in politics and my beliefs of issues. Particularly the recent bailout.

Btw, early voting is the 20th and this last issue of the paper is going to be the last before hand. So i'm planing on a big color insert into the paper.

$500 to print it, although i probably could bring the price down... $200 to put it in the paper.

But $500 is full color, double side, 2500 copies.... I could cut it to 1000 copies,
