Anyone plan on calling CSPAN this morning?

[Starks]

Washington Journal needs another lesson in how to love Ron Paul.

[Starks]

You guys suck. Can you peel your eyes away from the graphs for a second and read about other grassroots efforts?

[Drknows]

[ronpaulnation]

It will be the first time I've ever call into a TV, Raido or any type of show (anti social type) but screw it, this is important. I'll do it :)

[RPFTW!]

I'll try to get on their, CSPAN for Ron Paul!

[jrich4rpaul]

Make sure to be polite and relevant to the topic they're discussing, but make sure to get the Ron Paul plug in there with mention to how much money he's raised since midnight.

Be aware they usually allow 30 SECONDS for each call before cutting you off, so plan ahead.

BE CIVIL!

[RPFTW!]

I'm the same way I absolutely HATE public speaking, but for Ron Paul I'll do it :)

[Starks]

When are we bombing the rest of the media? November 6th?

[Cyclone]

...

[Ozwest]

Don't need those negative vibes Man!

[jrich4rpaul]

Right, don't count your eggs before they hatch. We can't slow down this train we're on :)

[libertarian4321]

Careful folks. Don't brag too much. We are way behind the ten million dollar goal. To do that we needed seven thousand dollars a minute every minute of the 24 hours. We are no where close. You can say we are doing great, but some people expected us to raise ten million.

Well, there are some people who don't have a grip on reality. There is no way in Hell we're going to get anywhere near $10 million.

If everyone who pledged actually donates, we'll have a bit less than $2 million for the day- that would be a great number for one day.

When people set absurd expectations, they just set themselves up for failure.

[James R]

Do any of you really thing that you are going to make a good impression by yelling "DONATE TO RON PAUL!" on national television? God, I hope not.

There is nothing wrong with saying something intelligent that shows you have been listening for at least a half hour to the show. That will help. But otherwise, it will just hurt and get people to hate Ron Paul because his followers shout things like "DONATE TO RON PAUL" in the middle of a show.

10 million has always been a delusion number.

[orenbus]

yea but you know what they say:

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars :D

At the same time I would agree we shouldn't be out in public saying we are going to raise 10 million considering there are only around 16k pledges thus far. If we get Two million I will be ecstatic, Two million would be a great number!

[Starks]

I predict around 1.4 million. It's nothing to scoff at.

[Ozwest]

I predict around 1.4 million. It's nothing to scoff at.

Wanna bet everything you got on that? Wanna bet your house on that?

[richk]

I will be happy if we just reach 1 million. Whoever thought 10 million is delusional :D

[Ozwest]

Ron Paul 2008 2008 has set the goal at just over 6 million in total donations thus far. That goal will be met today, and an outstanding result it will be!

[purplechoe]

I predict around 1.4 million. It's nothing to scoff at.

I think over $2M could be reached.

[Ra_]

When people set absurd expectations, they just set themselves up for failure.

Fear of failure prevents many people from trying at all.
It's like the mantra; "Forget about Ron Paul, he can't win."
When some people hear that enough times, they accept it.

I'm an admitted optimist but being overly pessimistic is not such a great virtue either.
I'm not afraid of failing. I do it all the time.

[qwerty]

CALL TO YOUR LOCAL RADIO AND TRY TO ADVERTISE THE DONATION EFFORT TODAY!

:cool:

[synapz]

yea but you know what they say:

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars :D



But won't you really just be... you know... between the earth and moon? :o

[Ozwest]

In the last twenty minutes, the donations have been humming!

[DJ RP]

10 million is highly unlikely but we don't know how high we'll go. Many people didn't sign up with their email and many people are donating more than $100 so we DON'T KNOW. everybody be optomistic and keep pushing!

And relate whatever you say on CSPAN to the topic of the day and bring it back to ron paul, that's easily done! :)

[Anti-Donkey]

Watch C-SPAN online:

Don´t just sit around!

Sent a "tip" through www.drudgereport.com this morning for him to follow this story, suggest others do the same. Go to the site and scroll most of the way down on the right hand side and you can submit a tip.

Current question: "Should the US continue AID to Pakistan?"

Reminder: Please watch C-Span for at least 15 minutes before calling, so when you get on the line you have something related to the show to say. Just giving a "shout-out" to Ron Paul without relating to the show is really inappropriate, especially for an uptight show like C-Span.

[DJ RP]

That issue ties in with Ron Paul very well, it shouldn't be a problem for people to make the call relevant.

Yes, perfect topic!!!!!

[Drknows]

C span is talking about Pakistan right now.

http://www.c-span.org/watch/cspan_wm.asp?Cat=TV&Code=CS

lets give them a history lesson on foreign policy

[Revolution9]

Great idea... have everyone think that Ron Paul supporters are loud and obnoxious.

They are. They are also anal retentive and overweening. Just depends on who yer yakking with.

HTH

[Anti-Donkey]

[Drknows]

[wgadget]

[wgadget]

I just realized: When they laugh at Ron, they're laughing at US.

[LizF]

Another great C-SPAN caller for RP...nice mention of the fundraising! :)

Edit: Another caller for RP right after him! :D

[wgadget]

Research Ron Paul.

[Starks]

I had so much fun doing this.

[Benaiah]

What is the number.

[LibertyEagle]

Did you just hear that woman talking about Dr. Paul's earmarks? Claiming he had more than everyone? She doesn't get it. Someone needs to set her straight.
