Hey everyone, I just saw this on Daily Paul and thought I would share it here - this is for tomorrow, Thursday the 25th.

One of our meetup members found the following on the dailypaul.com site:

Mass Oprah Emailing for this Thursday Oct 25
Posted October 23rd, 2007 by GoRonGo
I think it is worth a shot still to try to get Ron Paul on Oprah. Lets all do a mass email on the same day!

Here is the link: https://www.oprah.com/plugger/templates/BeOnTheShow.jhtml?action=respond&plugId=B2100004

Tell her why we love him and why the rest of America needs to know him too....

This Thursday Oct 25... email!

No matter what you think of Oprah, she is widely watched across the United States!

I think that's correct, and since she's already such a die hard Obama supporter, I don't see much good coming from this. That's just my opinion...

forget e-mailing people, that tactic has been exploited to the max (for now)

get with this:


his idea was discussed in Bradley's weekend thread. Pretty simple.

When Ron Paul sells a cookbook off of his website he makes money. So everyone buy a cookbook right? One for yourself, your siblings, parents, and grandparents right?

Well here is the catch, it is a new fundraising idea that will act as a double
edged campaign sword. 1) Raising Money and 2) Specifically targeting audiences
that would be in our camp but for the media's deliberate stearing of "popular"
opinion.

What we do (and a little graphics help would do wonders) is create a new graphic
thermometer style, that we attempt to fill w/in a set amount of time. When the
"whatever" fills, it will represent the purchase and shipping price of 1,000 books.
These books will then be hand delivered to a certain daytime tv talkshow hostess'
studio in Chicago. Enclosed in each book will be a personalized letter from you (us) to one of Oprah's audience members.

She's sided w/ Obama, we won't sway her, so how's about we drop the partisanship and extend the olive branch to her guests, viewers, etc...

kill 'em with kindness.

Couple this with Make Ron wriststRONg, and we no longer have to wait for
media/publicity.... we'll own it.

Better yet, buy a copy of whatever book is on Oprah's book club for the month, have it delivered during the month she's promoting it. That would make her and the audience happy. Sweet idea!

I am tired. 3am. Maybe this is nuts. Look how about the chicago meetup group stage a march at her studio on taping days? Make sure the get her as she comes and goes and capture her audiences attention.

Hand out constitutions to each audience member with seriously only one like inside saying this is "given to you on behave of the Ron Paul for president grassroots movement", nothing more.

You know that scene in Back to the Future where in the town square you see the truck roll by loudly proclaiming "vote for ___ for mayor". How about doing that around her studio? Better yet! Daily follow her limo for the same few blocks doing that. (few blocks, let's not get carried away and freak her out)

Seriously, if you want him on the show, be creative without making her think we're perverted.

you know if obama stood for the people as Ron does he would have us on his side,
So maybe if someone can get in the audience and just ask a simple question about her choice for obama nothing extermly contervsal but one that make the veiwers think.. something like Does your vote for obama come for his views or his color.

10-24-2007, 01:33 PM
This is a great idea.

I want to create a website where people will subscribe to a daily email that will give out "the email address of the day" of a television or radio station/show. That we can flood one media outlet at a time hopefully getting coverage out of it.

Does anybody know how to do this?

american.swan
10-24-2007, 01:37 PM
I can't imagine a woman of her financial power is dumb enough to support a candidate solely on the fact that he is handsome or black. It is true that we all have our weak points and maybe handsome black candidates is her weak point.

How about handing out fliers that say something like...
Does Oprah love Obama because he is handsome?
Does Oprah love Obama because he is African-American?
Does Oprah love Obama's take on bombing Pakistan...
..
..
issue after issue.

Maybe get her audience to re-think their support.

It's ALL about the ratings. :cool:

10-24-2007, 01:50 PM
You could also spin it in a couple ways

1) She doesn't have to necessarily endorse or support Ron Paul just let him voice his platform so her viewers are informed.

2) Ron Paul is a Republican and therefore not running against Obama right now. It's not like having another Democrat on the show.

ClayTrainor
10-24-2007, 01:50 PM
I remember a couple oscars ago oprah was asked to pick her favorites for different categories, and she picked people like jamie foxx and Halle Berry (or someone) i just remember almost every choice of hers was a black actor/actress.

im not surprised at all that she endorses Obama, She is a tad racist in my mind, and maybe she agrees with some issues, but im guessing the main reason she's voting for him is because he is black.

Getting ron on her show any time soon will be challenging.

james1844
10-24-2007, 01:54 PM

We won't know if we don't- lob an email her way!

Thats what we're good at, lets keep it up!

bbachtung
10-24-2007, 01:58 PM
It is a form, not an e-mail, so there are no "spam" filters. Fill in your name, address, and telephone number (required), and write in the your story / idea section that you would like to see Ron Paul on her show because he is anti-war and pro-civil liberties. Short, sweet, and non-offensive.

Elwar
10-24-2007, 01:59 PM
Definitely take the angle of letting her know that both Ron Paul and Barack Obama are against the war.

And that if she truly wants to see an end to the war, then the best way to have that happen is for Ron Paul and Barack Obama be the only contenders for the white house next Fall.

She doesn't have to endorse Ron Paul, just give him some face time and let him get his message out to her Republican audience.

theseus51
10-24-2007, 02:01 PM
Are you people nuts? Trying to get support from undecided celebrities is one thing. But email bombing someone who already endorses Obama, has fundraisers for Obama, and specifically said they won't have anyone other candidate on the show?

The best the email is going to do, is just annoy her. Worse is not doing an interview with him when Ron Paul gets the Republican nomination (which she was nice enough to do for Bush even though I know she probably supported Gore). She was trying to be fair, but this time, she is actively supporting Obama, so maybe once he drops out, this email idea would be good, but until then, you're just going to annoy her.

Oprah is FAAAAAAAAR beyond worrying about ratings. She owns her own production studio, is one of the wealthiest people in America, is hooked up with the power movers and shakers and has her own social and Political agenda she pushes on her show now and in her magazine now.

She's a self made billionaire, richest black woman in America, loved and dored by millions of viewers the world over, and ratings/money are no longer something she needs to care about. She's also a very Liberal Democrat, and by supporting Obama and helping him to win, she is selling out the bulk of her viewing audience to special interest groups to become economic slaves.

Let's foucs on e-mailing David Lettermen instead.

Buy them for everyone you know for Christmas. Stuff a few bumper stickers and slim jims into them. This is just in time for primary season.

You guys are nuts to e-mail Oprah. She's endorsed Obama. If you had a show and you had endorsed Ron Paul, would you have another candidate on there? OF COURSE you wouldn't.

If people want to talk to other people on Oprah's message boards, fine. If people are thinking that messages will get Oprah to at least mention Dr. Paul on the show, it is not going to happen.

The only reason she promotes obama is cause he is black.. I can't prove this but for her saying she won't have anyone else on her show sure sounds that way to me.. There are still alot of prejudice people out tere who don't want a black president or a women.. More black though I have to say.. Our country is to white and with all this BS thats been going on and people pulling the race card all the time sure does have an affect on Americans.. You can bet Imus watchers sure will not vote for obama after the shit he went thru... You can count on that...

Ok folks, this is complete silliness. I will say this *one more time* because it's clear some people have no ability to read:


Barack Obama *is not* black, he is multiracial. Stop saying he is.
Oprah is not going to talk to any other candidate, so stop sending her emails.
The *reason* she's not talking to other candidates is she publicly supports Obama. Ever heard of conflict of interest? If she had other candidates on her show, she would get an incredible amount of negative feedback about questions sounding "unfair" no matter how balanced she was. It's not worth the risk for her. Use some brains people.
I have good friends who spend time with Oprah and she is an extremely fair person.
Oprah has supported a variety of people in the past, not anyone of a particular race or background.


So everyone, stop with the innuendos and ideas on topics where you have no idea what you're saying.

Listen, I appreciate the effort by people, but there is no way she's going to set up a debate environment. Geez, do all of you not realize she just had a fundraiser at her Santa Barbara home last month for Obama that raised $3M for his campaign?

She would never, ever, ever in 15 million years agree to something like that. If you want to email the millions of people in this country who haven't made a public declaration of which candidate they support go and do it, but Oprah is absolutely, totally and completely not a person anyone should be focused on.

To quote Dr. Paul from an article on April 16, 2007:

"Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist."

I wrote the letter fully realizing that she supports Obama.

I used the same strategy we should use for every anti-war democrat.

Let them know that this war is a huge mistake, let them know that there is only one Republican that will bring us back from this war, let them know that if Ron Paul wins the Republican primary that guarantees the end of the war and we can then have a presidential election where the focus is on domestic issues, and may the better candidate win based on that.

Be annoyed with them primarily, and annoyed with Obama secondarily. How about this analogy ...

You have a TV show, where you make millions of dollars, and have millions of loyal fans hanging on your every word. You love Ron Paul, you've supported George Bush through thick and thin, and have been a life-long Republican. In fact, you even have lavish events for RNC bigwigs on a regular basis.

Now, you have hundreds and thousands of loyal Obama fans contacting you wanting you to put him on your show. Do you stake your entire reputation, everything you have built, and all the relationships you have in the RNC to bring a candidate on the air from the opposing party? Is it worth it? What is the upside? I'd say close to nil. What's the possible downside? Enormous.

You've got to be kidding me. Once again, to quote Dr. Ron Paul ...

From an article on April 16, 2007:

"Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist."

Am I the only one that thought it was more than just a coincidence that she supported a black presidential candidate?

If Ron Paul was black it would make no difference to me. I would support him all the same.

If you want to haggle about racism, we can do that.

I would be thrilled that presidential candidates want to come on my show. I would love to boost the ratings and possibly be a stepping stone into history.

You're missing the point. Imagine, you have a tv show. You own it, you run it. You have a huge audience, and tout the great Ron Paul. Why on earth would you even mention another candidate, much less bring them on your show?

Honestly, if you had a nationally syndicated tv show, would you want Obama on your show? How about Rudy? No! Just Ron Paul. What if thousands of people begged you to have Obama or Rudy on your show, would you do it? As a loyal Ron Paul supporter? NO WAY! That's the point I'm making. If anything, it'll you more pissed off and want to showcase Ron Paul even more.

So yeah. Don't email Oprah.

Are you people nuts? Trying to get support from undecided celebrities is one thing. But email bombing someone who already endorses Obama, has fundraisers for Obama, and specifically said they won't have anyone other candidate on the show?

Ron Paul is running as a republican. If anything I am sure she would rather have Ron Paul vs. Obama than pro-war vs. Obama. It will definitely be an interesting segment to invite him and it doesn't necessarily mean she endorses him. We are also not writing to her specifically but the producers. If anything they will just tell her they have received a ton of emails from Ron Paul supporters and that will probably catch her attention in a positive light.

Bottom line, an Oprah appearance will be HUGE and it doesn't hurt us one bit to try.
