Most people have heard of Ron Paul by now, however there is confusion surrounding him. We need to figure a way to persuade people to Paul's camp. Fliers, internet posts, door-to-door, talk radio spots (I have done this already), radio ads, whatever. Leave suggestions below.

Shouting End The Fed won't work. We must End The Fed to achieve liberty.
If we could End The Fed during Ron Paul's lifetime, then we would likely add 10 years to his life. And he would have a permanent smile on his face. That's how. I hope we can get it done soon. We will end it ... the sooner the better.

Back in the 60's, i protested the vietnam war..yeah, i'm almost 60 years old now, and was called a chicken, a crazy hippie, and told to shut up...but in the end, we were finally told we were right. You can't force ideas, and you can only lead with your chin, and Ron is getting converts at a steady pace. Ron himself has said.."let it not be said we did nothing"...we have to keep at it with or without Ron Paul...Right now, we have to try and get Ron to run again, if only to wake more people up. I will admit i personally don't think we have much time left, but at the same time i have real hope for the future. I have to. Rand Paul could very well be our next hope, especially if Ron bows out. And i wouldn't blame him.

http://the-classic-liberal.com/ron-paul-sucks/

I mean just look at the guy. Ron Paul is all skinny, old, and wrinkly. His speeches are rambling diatribes supporting the long debunked conspiracy theory known as the U.S. Constitution. Everyone knows the Constitution expired more than 100 years ago and has no place in our Conservative-Progressive-Democratic-Socialist-Liberal-Republican (ConProDemSocLibRep) society.

After all it was Ru Paul’s isolationist ideas that lead America into its darkest period following the Revolutionary War after his idiotic idols, the Founding Fathers, defeated the British occupiers. Well, they were more like friendly visitors than occupiers. Visitors that honored the American colonies by taxing them heavily and treating them like peasants.

Everyone knows by now that Ron Paul’s efforts to abolish the massively successful Federal Reserve bank is kookier than cookies. The Fed has been our savior over and over and over and over and over again over the years. If it weren’t for the Fed the so-called “Great Depression” would have been much shorter. That’s a gigantic problem because we needed it to last much longer just to prove that government regulation is the lifeblood of the economy!

Ron Paul’s foreign policy ideas are moonbat crazy. His ideas violate the golden rule. You know, the whole “do unto others as you would have them do unto you thing”? We would be far less safe if we hadn’t flexed our military muscle in the Middle East. They only respect force and they’ve been cowering in fear of us for the last 10 years. Hopefully we’ll be able to show them who’s boss for at least 100 more years.

Ben Bernanke was overheard saying: “You can’t put a price tag on keeping America safe. Do you know where I can get discounted printer ink? After all we need to save money where we can in these trying times!”, according to a source who didn’t want to be named as a source and who spoke to me through telepathy.

It was so stupid that Ron Paul won the CPAC straw poll. It was obviously rigged by his Campaign For Liberty organization and they were all young people anyway. Everyone knows the future of the GOP will come from the old people! At least the results of the poll were booed loudly which just proves that I’m right.

Not to mention Paul is an anti-semite because he wants to cut off foreign aid to all countries and the last time we checked, Israel was a country. It couldn’t possibly defend itself with a stockpile of only 400 or so nuclear bombs. They need our help!

He’s also an obvious racist because he has a long history of hate speech following the publication of some newsletters written by someone else 25 years ago. His racism is so rampant that one could pull just about any speech of his in his decades in Congress and find the bigotry. In fact here’s one called “Government and Racism“.

It’s so easy to imagine a Klan hood over his head whenever he’s on TV espousing the virtues of some of his lilly-white heroes like Dr. Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks.

Get this through your think skulls people, Ron Paul has no chance at being the next President of the United States. He shouldn’t run because all he will do is screw up the chances for the anointed Republican nominee, who won’t be a crazy, kooky, old, skinny, wrinkly, anti-semitic, racist, isolationist with a fetish for the supreme law of the land.

Don’t you understand, we hate Barack Obama more than we love the Constitution!

The last thing America needs is a candidate that adheres so rigidly to his principles and is logically consistent in both domestic and foreign policy.

And don’t get me started on his supporters.

oh man.. i can't wait to hear some responses to your last post.

however, alot of what you say has some merit (some) and it is the way most people outside of this "movement" view him. there really is no serious cohesion here and i will put money down he isn't even going to run. i have been trying to understand what alot of folks are doing here by promoting him in the polls and it seems they feel that's a way to get him a nomination (sigh).

99.99% sure he won't run. if he does - 100% sure he won't win - just being realistic. i support his view in many respects and the best place for him is doing what he does best - monetary policy.

Didn't Barack Obama do this exact thing during the 2008 campaign? It seems to have worked okay for him.

This site and others such as C4L are great, but there's simply too much info for the average fence-sitting voter to easily digest. I've been here off and on for a couple years and this place still overwhelms me. After all, I do try to have a life.

A plain, simple, bullet-pointed, one-page, issue-by-issue, serious, non-sarcastic website sounds like common sense. It's hard to believe it hasn't already been done.

war. maybe i'm optimistic here....

many of the misinformed perceptions center around racism and crazy supporters chanting "end the fed."

but we have the lone champion of peace representing us. for all but a few neocon bastards profiting from these deadly spirit-killing forays throughout the midddle east, peace is very appealling.

this is the message we need to spread, not just for the present but the future as well. young people like peace, old people like peace, just about everyone prefers peace though few of us know the full advantages of peace.

the lone champion of peace is also the champion of fiscal sanity (another thing just about everyone likes). here's a link putting the "defense" budget at at least $1.2 trillion http://original.antiwar.com/engelhardt/2011/03/01/the-real-us-national-security-budget/

The racism thing is scurrilous and a true smear and falsehood.

But Ron Paul's supporters do chant End the Fed, and they are by no means crazy. Ron Paul did write a bestselling book by the same name, you know.

Basic economic literacy probably seems crazy to some these days, but "it is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

i agree with you wholeheartedly (and there are something like 80+ federal programs devoted financial "literacy"...). the point i'm making is that the most universally appreciated position, imo, is the anti-war position. it addresses fears on the "right" and "left" of insolvency and hits on a wholesome mostly universal desire within individuals not to inflict harm on others and/or see their tribemates injured and/or killed.

True or not, the perception is there, and it has the real effects of giving people any easy reason to not support Ron Paul. Check out this video (http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-january-8-2008/david-frum) from about 3:00 to 4:00. Frum basically brought up the newsletters to Jon Stewart and implied that Ron's a horrible person (because he is accused of being racist). I even verified that this what what Frum meant by sending him an email after I saw that video asking for sources as to why I should stay away from Ron. He sent me the link to the National Review (http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=e2f15397-a3c7-4720-ac15-4532a7da84ca) article outlining Paul's "racist" history.

The issue, though hardly reflective of Paul's personal views or current characteristics or policy suggestions, is going to come up, and it's going to keep people from supporting him, especially in the general election.

Most voters are apathetic, so they only vote by party line, and/or only vote for who the media props up.

The media are also the ones labeling Dr. Paul as unelectable and a kook, and the average voter will agree without researching him.

I think if there's a way to get across his message in layman's terms, people may begin to wake up.

If there's not a website/flier out there, kind of like a FAQ, but that shows both sides of the argument, then there needs to be one. A "What 'they' (media/naysayers) say about him" compared to "What Ron Paul is really saying." Or some such. Basically, a FAQ that debunks the media's misinformed jargon with an explanation of Ron Paul's positions that help people understand why he (and everyone) should support them.

The media's smear of him being racist is a great example. His message of INDIVIDUAL rights over collectivism clearly debunks this, plus the fact that he didn't even write those newsletters.

Those are great, but people need to understand why he voted for or against those bills. For example, Hannity and O'Reilly have brainwashed a large part of the republican voting bloc just by saying you're un-American if you're against the war -- a patriotic American supports the war on terrorism. It's blanket statements like that that have the masses duped into believing neo-con policy is the American ideal.

Yes, it is illegal.

That why people have those newspaper boxes underneath the mail box.

I think Google Ads is a GREAT idea. I just started a Facebook Ad Campaign with clickthroughs coming here to ronpaulforums.com, but if there is a single page website with RPs platform spelled out in a positive, persuasive fashion I would probably link to that as well.

With Google Ads we could target anyone who searched for terms like "National Debt" or "Income Tax". Does anyone know, can Google Ads be targeted by location as well? Probably best to start by going after Iowa and maybe New Hampshire at first.

Then a definition explaining the differences, which common sense (and the Constitution!) would always vindicate Dr. Paul's position (even to the neo-cons).

I agree with the OP, there needs to be a way to better show Ron's good traits to people who are either mostly apathetic or aren't incredibly knowledgeable on things he supports. Everyone I've ever known gives about 0% of their attention to getting rid of the IRS and abolishing the Federal Reserve, whilst a good ~60% of them are for pulling the troops out fairly soon and don't buy the BS that we'll eventually leave. On social matters, clarifying his position on Social Security and welfare is HUGE, as well as clarifying what non-interventionism is. Most of the people I've known that have heard of Ron Paul think he wants to get rid of welfare, return to an archaic gold standard, and be isolationist. This is wrong, and even introducing just a few of his nuances in these positions would bring a lot more consideration to him as a candidate.

Finally, I think the biggest thing we could do to 'clear up' Ron Paul's name is just to let people know what a President can and can not do. Namely, he CAN NOT just wave a wand and have the income tax abolished along with all environmental regulations--he CAN wave a wand and bring the troops home, saving troops lives and tax payer money, and ending the wars in the Middle East. We can all agree that this is his most popular position among voters across the spectrum, and emphasizing that this is something that can be accomplished is key. Just my two cents.

I just had an idea. Make a questionnaire of these same issues excluding the candidates, and pass them out to people to fill out what they think on each position. At the bottom, have a link to where they could visit a website which features the above ^^^image^^^ of what each candidate voted for on each issue. Hazaah!

I'd like to think that most people would be shocked to find out that their views are inline more so with Ron Paul than anybody else. They couldn't deny him then.

Better yet, perhaps a chain email with the questionnaire might be more effective.

personally i think the blimp had more impact then some on rpf think. I kinda think smaller blimps would be more effective, maybe check height restrictions in states and cities along with suburbs! for example i have a friend in highlands ranch colorado , think weeds intro song! A well placed smaller blimp tied down and floating 1000 ft in the air or more could be seen by interstates and 10,000 homes if not more. yeah i know hoa and many other regulations would have to be checked etc etc ,but more afforable smaller blimps could have a HUGE IMPACT on all cities at once!!! i am not talking the little balloon blimps maybe something the size of a vw car etc etc

I have not researched that part yet! I was also thinking a plane with a sign on all major beaches east west and south would be highly effective everyone reads the flying planes while at the beaches!!! if it was feasible for smaller blimps and planes with signs. I would think we would buy in bulk as a movement to bring down costs!! research would have to be done so all the lil blimps were "legal" ps some people closer to the planning of ron paul 2008 blimp like trevor or others might have a better clue on smaller blimp prices!!

edit: There are alot of cities that have huge housing areas apts and houses many of these have just a few access points as well!! Ron Paul 2012 goal have every access point covered legally that we can!!

ps on a lighter note ,they could be used as anti-aircraft defense in case the us gov attacks americans;)

I just had an idea. Make a questionnaire of these same issues excluding the candidates, and pass them out to people to fill out what they think on each position. At the bottom, have a link to where they could visit a website which features the above ^^^image^^^ of what each candidate voted for on each issue. Hazaah!

I'd like to think that most people would be shocked to find out that their views are inline more so with Ron Paul than anybody else. They couldn't deny him then.

Better yet, perhaps a chain email with the questionnaire might be more effective.

What does everyone think?

SHAZAM, MAKE IT HAPPEN RPF!!! PLEASE this is f'in great idea!! Let people wake themselves up!! We can only hope!! This would be inline with that marketing guy i heard at cpac with vessol!! if only 2-10% of the people open and answer and respond to that email or mail or flyer aka spam(whatever folks wanna call it). Then it was a HUGE SUCCESS. What was that guys name vessol??

Ron Paul also supports the legalization of industrial hemp which is the most environmentally friendly green plant on earth.

Job creation, earth friendly products, industrial applications ... opportunity.

i had posted hemp fuel as well on a thread here in rpf. this could and would be a huge tool for us to promote! seeing the fuel prices rise! If the gop ignores hemp. Then this country deserves to crash and burn!! bumpin it in gpolitics section now!!

I think what would be best is if it could be created like those online quizzes where you select your answers and then click the results to see who most represents you. However, I don't know how to create one, nor a webpage for that matter. Anyone?

I think what I'm going to do is get as big of a balloon I can, like what car dealerships have, and stencil Ron Paul 2012 on it and attach it with a 100ft rope from my house. If people piss and moan, I'll refuse to take it down until the media runs a story on it.

Any web design gurus, by all means, please chime in.

How would a blimp or shouting end the fed help his cause again?

It spreads the message. And in a unique and enthusiastic manner. Which can be contagious.

Most people have heard of Ron Paul by now, however there is confusion surrounding him. We need to figure a way to persuade people to Paul's camp. Fliers, internet posts, door-to-door, talk radio spots (I have done this already), radio ads, whatever. Leave suggestions below.

What "confusion surrounding him" specifically are you referring to? What prompted you to write this thread?

The fact that people dismiss him as a kook without even researching him.
