I was going to e-mail her to ask for a film promoting the the Tea-party fund-raiser and came across this on her site:



Here's a little video I made promoting Ron Paul's record-setting 5th of November fundraising drive. In the week leading up to 11/5, more than 50,000 people watched this video, so I am very proud to feel as though I was a meaningful part of this history-making event (even if the people behind the 5th of November site have since made the bizarre decision to distance themselves from me and offer no public recognition for my contribution on the grounds that some people might be offended by my underwear vids. Uh... I thought libertarians were AGAINST censorship...?).

EDIT: SHE has been catching a lot of flack from SOMEONE? If you go to her site, you get the feel that the Pat Robertsons of the world have moved in to her apartment or at least down the hall..... link http://www.livfilms.blogspot.com/

Obamadrama......VERY funny. Like that!

Do you think we should try to get her to do something newsworthy about the Teaparty so maybe some of the news shows might start pulling on it a little more?

I think the real issue is that Liv is not used to the volatile and dynamic nature of the American public. There will always be criticism, sometimes harsh and I am sure if she has not expected that. Fame comes with a price and I hope she focuses on the admirers of her work over those who detract from it and who lash out. Her work is incredibly inspirational.

Actually it's a bit of a slap in the face for her hard work and effort as well. Her viral videos are a huge success for us. And some recognition is due. Nothing sucks more than helping out with your volunteer time only to be ignored for your contributions.

She did do alot but her underwear vids was for recognition to her own movies. I dont think anything short of saying it was all because of her the 5th of November was a success would she be happy.

I like Liv, she did a great job promoting RP in her vids. We all know that, she did get major air time on CNN ffs.

Guys, try readin what she said again. I don't think she wants recognition, I think she was hurt by the distancing and disassociatio. She's entitled to feel a little betrayed there and I would to. I'd imagine there were some emails sent back and forht that we're not seeing. Just sit back rather than immediately consider her to be a whiny diva.

Liv has been an asset, and I think she has done a great job.

But so have a lot of other people and demanding public recognition of said contribution is off the mark imo.

I know of people here in Utah that have been doing anywhere from 20-40 hours of HARD work per week for Ron Paul since last May (I am not one of them, I have been involved since then but not to that level). I am sure there are multitudes others spread across the country.

Frankly, the people who have been putting in the long hard hours and perservered back when there did not to appear to be any "risk of Ron Paul actually getting elected" are the ones that should have statues erected and future generations are probably going to owe these people their freedom.

W/ all the chipins for ads in the work + the coming money bombs I think that this would be a waste of money. This campaign is not a rehearsal for American Idol, however I do think she's served a good purpose. She's played her niche just like many many others have played theirs. I, for one, like her videos and hope she'll make more. But egos and attitudes are juvenile, and are not on the priority list for the continual advancement of this campaign.

I understand just fine. It's what you do not understand about people's contributions that concerns me. And I have yet to see hundreds of people with her production quality, image, and benefit offered to the grassroots efforts. I think you are way out of line there. While there are 100's perhaps 1000's who have put in as much if not more effort with their time yes, but Liv is a very very special person in all of this as far as our viral marketing efforts go.

You guys can boo hoo this all you want. Bottom line is Liv needs thanks, she needs it from us, she needs to from a lot of us, and she needs it now. If one of us is working hard and is feeling a little down you can be apathetic and condescending about it or you can be a big person about it and help them stand back up. And have a little empathy for someone that feels slighted and left out. How many of you forum posters are publishing high quality well thought out content like RP girl? In fact, why aren't you emailing her to cheer up and stay humble if that's how you truly feel?

Sounds like you're just as happy to condescend to her for wanting a little appreciation as you are to celebrate her success for the campaign.

She earned $9,414 with her videos.

Besides, she calls herself "Ron Paul Girl". Did Ron Paul give her that title or did she take it copying "Obama Girl"? If SHE decided to call herself "Ron Paul Girl" isn't it her 'duty' to promote Ron Paul?

Or does she think that if she had called herself Liv, she also had generated that much attention and money?

I think flowers is a bit much. I won't be sending flowers to Liv or to the guy who posted the video promoting $100 on November 5th before there was ever a website - and thankfully, he doesn't seem slighted by his lack of recognition.

But, I will send her a nice e-mail thanking her for her work. I'd like her to keep promoting Ron Paul. She gets lots of views, too. If she likes thank-yous, well, she'll get one from me. It never hurts to be nice. And as my mother used to say, it's not that hard just to be nice.

If you want to send one, too, great. If not, don't.

I think Liv had a very positive effect on the Nov. 5th publicity, and wrote the following to her on her youtube channel.

"Liv,

I want to give you full recognition for your efforts to help elect Ron Paul as our next president.

In particular I think that your video supporting the amazingly successful November 5th fundraising played an important role. When I learned that a video from you was forthcoming for that effort I had eager anticipation and you did not disappoint; it was thoughtful, clever, entertaining, and EFFECTIVE. I noticed, and I am sure others did as well, that the pledge rate to the Nov.5th site increased immediately after it was released.

I am just an ordinary ( meaning enthusiastic!) Ron Paul supporter not connected with the Nov. 5th website or the official campaign, but I wanted you to hear this. I read an allusion on another site that some of the Nov. 5th organizers have distanced themselves somewhat from you over concern that some of your other more risque videos showing your undies might hurt the campaign now that it is gaining attention in the mainstream media. (Just for the record, you are very cute and I sure don't object to any of your cheesecake images!)

If that distancing is true, I hope you can understand their behavior in the context of them also wanting to advance the cause of Dr. Paul's freedom message and I hope you will not become disillusioned or withdraw your supportive efforts.

I for one hope that you continue using your talents to further the Ron Paul cause, and I hope you can have a meeting of the minds with the December 16th folks and play a role in that effort as well. I have a gut feeling that the Tea Party fundraising just might make November 5th look puny, and be an incredible lauchpad to the first primaries. "

As a woman, I must say that I didn't exactly find her underwear vid very appealing although a couple of her other vids were pretty darned good. Having gotten that out of the way, I'm sorry she feel's somehow slighted but, the fact of the matter is, none of the rest of us are profitting in any way from our support of Dr. Paul other than maybe what a Ron Paul presidency may bring in prosperity for our Nation. For Liv to even be remotely expecting praise or recognition for her part in this Revolution is, IMHO, immature and selfish.

She just lost some credibility for that. The person behind 5th of November never came out and stated his real name or anything. He wasn't even mention on any news channel. HE DID NOT EVEN ASK FOR DONATION TO RUN THE SITE. We acknowledge liv's effort on nov 5th. BUT what more does she need? She even posted her videos on metacafe so she could earn $$$ and told us not to upload it to youtube.

So liv, we like you but you are asking for too much. And yes, you underwear is not helping the campaign. It will turn off most voters. Most voters are above age 50. So don't like being criticize? Get used to it, you are using RP's name to earn those hits.

Hmmmm... being on the internet for so long, it is surprising to hear she would respond this way- feeling very hurt. I find the underwear thing kinda odd too- who on earth would do this?

Regardless, part of me wonders if there was self-promotion in these videos - to sell her image and name. And when that did not happen, she felt hurt and is now angry that she did not get the attention she felt she was entitled to.

Only thing I can say too that is- sorry you feel hurt.

But all this is a grassroots effort. I donate my thoughts and ideas but am not really looking for name recognition. I just want Dr. Paul in office.

If Liv was and is seeking to suport RP from her heart, than she has my heartfelt thanks.

However, supporting any political candidate is tough. Politics is tough. I have been badmouthed many a time handing out RP literature in public or on other forums where I am just politely supporting RP. It comes with the territory and you take it with a grain of salt.

Now, how do I get by with the attacks and personal slights that have occured while I support Ron Paul? Well, it does not bother me because I am in it for the greater message and for getting RP elected. I desire no glory and I understand that RP is not for everyone (though he should be!). I have had the opprtunity, if I wanted to push it, to get some bigtime recognition within the Ron Paul community, but I have stepped aside and let those with agendas for their own glory fight for notoriety. You will see a lot of that in any political campaign. My focus is on doing everything I can to get RP elected. If my focus were for glory or money, then I would not be doing everything I could to get RP elected.

If Liv was in this just to enhance her career and/or to pump up her ego, then she gets no sympathy from me. If she truly supports RP, she will turn a blind eye to complaints that may come from RP supporters, but they may also come from those from another campaign pretending to be an RP supporter.

I truly hope Liv is in this for RP and not for her own personal agendas. Time will tell as we go forward, and again Liv, you have my thanks for everything you have done so far.

Also please note that there were no undies displayed at all in the Nov. 5th video.

Maybe that's the problem? :D

My only complaint is she lives too far away. Distancing myself from Liv is the last thing I'd want to do. ;)

I was going to e-mail her to ask for a film promoting the the Tea-party fund-raiser and came across this on her site:



Here's a little video I made promoting Ron Paul's record-setting 5th of November fundraising drive. In the week leading up to 11/5, more than 50,000 people watched this video, so I am very proud to feel as though I was a meaningful part of this history-making event (even if the people behind the 5th of November site have since made the bizarre decision to distance themselves from me and offer no public recognition for my contribution on the grounds that some people might be offended by my underwear vids. Uh... I thought libertarians were AGAINST censorship...?).


:o

EDIT: SHE has been catching a lot of flack from SOMEONE? If you go to her site, you get the feel that the Pat Robertsons of the world have moved in to her apartment or at least down the hall..... link http://www.livfilms.blogspot.com/

Goddamned ~church ladies~. Rah fucking rah and bomb the shiite out of Urack and Iram..save Israilroaded from the Malicetimians, blloodshed, gore and torn bodies, families ripped asunder and that is OK..shut my mouth and praise the lard. But heaven forbid a vivacious young butt or beautiful face sully the great American culturescape without this set of lubriciously denied tarts opening their scrawny pinched yap to issue decrees of subjective morality and censorship of the divine female beauty.. What a farce. These relics of a bygone 18th century puritanical Victorian morality when there was no protection against the simplest of VD and moral stricture was the daily course of protection, need to be ignored and the vitality of the culture of life, beauty and intelligence return in vivaciousness. Liberty means nothing in dull grey. Liberty is not monolithic but full spectrum.

Let's see here.. Censor speech. Censor Art. Censor symbology. Censor the human form. Find disgust in natural acts. Cover the divne form. Hide the truth. Look like this. Don't do that. Do only what I do. We must be monolithic. Then vote for Ron Paul because a vote for Ron Paul is a vote for freedom and liberty. A vote for Ron Paul means you will finally get left the fuck alone.. Except for the ~church ladies~ who will pummel you for the next eight years with their support they begrudgingly gave regardless of all you recalcitrant sinners amongst the shady and criminally perverse lot of ya..:eek::D You WILL be reformed. The church ladies pwn ur slack.

Best Of Regards

Damn, pretty harsh.

Free speech means free speech for everyone, including the ~church ladies~ while some dont see this to be true its the free speech that RP stands for that will give possibly "prayer in school" and Liv to make videos of what she want to.

Update!
---------------------------------------------

First of all, I want to say a big thank you to all of the people who have written to me in the past couple of days to tell me that they appreciated my efforts on behalf of the Ron Paul campaign. Your overwhelming show of support and encouragement has meant more to me than you can imagine!

I also wanted to clarify what I had written here earlier, as I think there may have been a bit of a misunderstanding. I really want to stress that I am as thrilled as anyone with the success of the November 5th fundraising drive, and I think that absolutely everyone involved should be as proud as I am to have been a part of it. I have absolutely no regrets about having done my part to support what turned out to be quite a historic accomplishment. So while I may not make any more videos about future fund drives, I will continue to personally donate to them and hope that everyone else will as well. At a time when the Ron Paul movement seems to be gaining in both size and momentum, the last thing we need is for internal squabbling to undermine our amazing progress.

So let me just quickly clear up whatever confusion there was as to why I was upset, and then I hope we can all consider the issue to be closed:

A few weeks prior to 11/5, I was contacted by the main organizer of the 5th of November drive and asked to make a video raising awareness for it. His suggestion: that I do one wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and underwear. His promise: that I would get a lot of exposure from being featured on the 5th of November website. I made a video (though not in my underwear), it got over 50,000 views in the week leading up to 11/5 and then...? On the big day, the video, link to my site, and, in fact, any mention of me whatsoever mysteriously disappeared from the website. It was explained to me a few days later that this had all been taken down because some people had emailed and complained that they were offended by some of my underwear videos that I have on my blog, and the decision had been made to quietly distance themselves from me in order to appease these people.

Now, I'm the first to admit that my videos are not for everyone and am perfectly understanding of the fact that some Ron Paul supporters prefer not to link to me. As many people have pointed out, one of the things that's great about the Ron Paul movement is the diversity of his supporters. Some of them don't like me. Honestly, I don't think I'd be doing my job right if everyone did.

But to commission a video from me, specifically requesting that I do it in my underwear, and then break the promise to get me exposure on the grounds that some people are offended by underwear vids? Come on! That's pretty lame, right??

Look, this isn't the worst thing in the world and I don't want anyone to think that I've soured on the idea of more Ron Paul videos or anything like that (on the contrary, I've got something up my sleeve that's going to be the best thing ever... just you wait!). I felt slighted, I posted something on my personal blog about it, and about a million really cool people wrote to me to cheer me up. So thank you once again, and let's forget all about this and concentrate on what's really important.

Ron Paul '08!

Man that is infuriating, but what can you do? I don't blame her for being jaded towards making more videos like that. But wow, we have lost a huge assett because of someone's hypocrasy.

Live and learn. I hope Liv keeps it going, she's made this battle a lot easier.

I will never ever understand women. But I do know they do need attention. Not all the same attention all the time though. Certain situations require certain kind of attention.Women are very confusing again I must say.

Holy cow! I had no idea that everyone was talking about my little blog post...

Thank you, NinjaPirate, for reposting my amendment.

In an effort to bring this to a close, I've since then amended my blog post one more time...

I don't want this issue to distract from anyone's attention to the campaign. My feelings were hurt, and I blogged about it. I've been in communication with the person in question, and I assure you that I'm over it and I hope that this will be the end of it.

Now, like I said, let's focus on what's really important:

Ron Paul '08!
