the ron paul campaign, a real well drawn out one. this set of suggestions will serve as a reminder for everyone as they become angry to conduct yourself in a way which is attractive.
however, this should not include suggestions that discourage any sort of action promoting ron paul, nor should it have any sort of consequence if you don't follow it, and nothing contentious. this should NOT include any discussion of what NOT to do. Just saying that conducting yourself in a professional, do as ron paul would do way is a very attractive way to bring new people, especially traditional republicans on board, no saying of what you shouldn't do. the effective way to communicate ON THIS BOARD mirrors what your saying about attracting ron paul. telling a 911 truther he can't talk about what bothers him, or tell other people with these fears that they should vote for R Paul is not going to make him stop doing it. but you CAN explain to people that immitating the activity of your target audience to make the movement more attractive IS a VERY EFFECTIVE way to actually bring about the change that 911 truthers are worried about having. this is positive genesis of a strategy, nitpicking newbies who are trying their best is a discouragement.
then, following that, lets also include a MORITORIUM on people posting topics on what we shouldn't be doing. not an official one, but a friendly one.
we have a lot of different types of people in the tent, and we are not going to get along.
dont like november 5th? make your own bomb. dont like the way someone rallied us to go after a poll? beat em to it next time with more polite wording.
people don't need to feel discouraged to do things, and now the number of threads criticizing peoples hard work because its not PC or because some random hater complained is outnumbering constructive stuff.
who cares about the haters, we need to reach people with the message. even the haters will turn in time, we don't want people hesitating to pull the trigger because they're scared a supporter will disapprove.
if you think of something, do it... if your scared 911 truthers are gonna outvoice you, then the problem is not silencing them, the problem is you don't speak loud enough.
digg what you wanna digg, vote in whatever polls you want, and if someone is saying crazy stuff about r paul and you wanna comment their article, do your thing. we want people to not be able to avoid seeing his name. you can't help occasionally alienating people in politics when the candidate starts becoming a celebrity... some people just CANT be pleased.
