Phone Number to the Show: 1-888-9-ASSHOLE (1-888-927-7465)

DO NOT CALL ON A CELL PHONE BE SURE IT'S A LAND LINE OTHERWISE THEY WILL NOT PUT YOU ON THE AIR!!!

What Time do we call?
The Howard Stern Show will be on the air LIVE from 6:00am to 10:30am/11:00am EST Wednesday Dec. 12th!
Call in immediately and try and stay on the line as long as possible. You will probably be on the line for a long time. Stay tuned to the forums if you can't tune in on Sirius Radio channel 100 and we will post when someone has gotten through. We need as many people as possible to call in so that we get in. IF we do not get in on Wednesday, Dec. 12th then I will update this post and we will revamp and try again Thursday Dec. 13th (THE LAST DAY BEFORE THEIR HOLIDAY BREAK).

Why the Howard Stern Show?
The Howard Stern Show is a perfect supporter for Ron Paul... they just don't know it yet! Any listener of the show knows that many of Ron Paul's views are the same as Howard Stern's views. Howard Stern has been the biggest radio personality for the past several decades! His recent (2005?) move to Sirius Radio added millions of new subscribers. He got people to PAY for a better radio experience. Recent ratings showed that Howard Stern received more listeners than any other channel on Sirius or XM Radio. Howard Stern's fans have also been very loyal in the past. Many, MANY news networks, comedians, etc. listen to Howard Stern's show religiously. If Howard were to endorse Ron Paul it would be one of the biggest endorsements if not THE BIGGEST endorsement Ron Paul will ever receive.

Howard's Views in Quotes
"I'm for personal freedom. I'm for freedom of the marketplace."
"I guess I really am a libertarian..."
"I really didn't know much about the Libertarians. I knew they were for less government and more individual freedom. I liked that." -- Howard Stern in Miss America (Harpercollins, 1995)
"intuitive embrace of the Libertarian rebuke of the leviathan state... He is a devotee of individual responsibility and supports legalizing drugs, lowering taxes, and shrinking the state."
"I'm an independent... I always vote for the best guy."


What do we need to be sure to mention?
Be ABSOLUTELY SURE to mentioin www.teaparty07.com! The second thing YOU MUST MENTION is Ron Paul is AGAINST the FCC AND he is for the Sirius/XM Merger. After these things just continue to talk about Dr. Ron Paul truthfully. If your going to call in be sure you've "done your homework" on Ron Paul. So much that you'd be able to answer any question he has about Ron Paul because Stern probably wont have a clue about his views.

Also be sure and try and include Ron Paul's site: www.ronpaul2008.com
Mention about how people need to register Republican in most states to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries and that the primaries are approaching very fast.

Other than that use good judgement and go into the phone call with an idea and plan of what you want to say and as mentioned be VERY informed on the views so that you can answer any question very accurately.

What is the schedule for the show?
The schedule for upcoming shows can be found at this link: http://www.sternfannetwork.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=312108

This displays times and dates for upcoming shows. I think our best bet is to flood the show on Wednesday Dec. 12th and, possibly, Thursday Dec. 13th though. This way we get a focused effort to make sure they hear us all loud and clear!

Have any ideas?
We are sending emails to Howard Stern through this forum post: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=45689

If you have any ideas feel free to post them or send me a message through the forums and if they are popular here then we will add them to this first post so we make sure they're noticed!

SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS AND LINK TO THIS POST!!! POST REPLYS SO THAT WE CAN KEEP THIS ON TOP!!! POST TO YOUR MEET UP GROUPS!!!

[nlke182]

Sounds good sign me up.

[sorianofan]

We should phone call bomb Stern.

"Howard, why are you pro hillary when she supports the FCC, the war on drugs, the war in iraq, and even more tyaxses? Ron Paul is the only guy who agrees with your positions."

[tsetsefly]

lol, i was going to post the exact same message:

It woudl be great to get howard Stern behind Ron Paul, this is because of how loyal howard stern fans are, and I have heard people call in to say they voted for x candidate because Howard voted for them. Bubba who is on Howard Radio 101 on Sirius is already a Paul supporter.

WHen you call in the first thing to mention is:
1. Ron Paul is against the FCC and for the SIRIUS and XM merger. (This is the most important issue for Stern)'
2. Mention Ron Paul was the sole republican to VOTE AGAINST the war in Iraq and he wants withrdrawl as soon as possible. Also mention he voted against the patrio act.
3. Mention that he ran as a libertarian is for getting government out of our lives and our pocketbooks


We really need to do this.

[shrugged0106]

I heard him say that he either supports Hillary or Gulianni just this week. Lost cause, methinks

[Fyretrohl]

Howard Stern is one I will not listen to or call.

[tsetsefly]

I heard him say that he either supports Hillary or Gulianni just this week. Lost cause, methinks

yeah but he is not sold on either... and he knows nothing about Paul..

Fyretrohl, you should his show is great, imo...

[T206]

According to Arbitron he had about 1.2M listeners...nice chunk of people to be able to influence.

[Fyretrohl]

I am a Latter Day Saint, aka Mormon. Howard Stern is trash radio to me. I have no interest in hearing it and bringing down my own personal testimony and spirit. Others are free to. I choose not to.

[Flash]

Stern is a sellout if he supports Clinton.

[jlink7]

I'd suggest calling in to the Opie & Anthony show before I'd suggest calling into Howard Stern's show. Why? Simple, their primary market is New York city and many other east coast cities, and they are simulcast on XM (and even have a 2-3 hr exclusive XM show afterwards.)

O&A are both receptive to Republican line of thought, and have a vested interest in getting rid of or limiting the powers of "federal" agencies like the FCC. Anthony voted for Bush in '04 (although I think he admittedly regrets it now.)

1-888-WOW-1-WOW

Just sayin'.

[shrugged0106]

Dont forget Bubba the love sponge!

[nlke182]

Dont forget Bubba the love sponge!

Yeah the more the better, but Howard should be the main focus Dec 12th.

[vinwal]

bump

[bcmiller]

Howard is for legal drugs and pro gun and less regulation

He should hear about Ron Paul

Bubba the Love Sponge is already onboard for a little while now and they play RP clips on the show and really support him. They also have Tucker on once a week so that may be how the found out about the good doctor.

I'll call and I hope many others do as well.

[Flash]

We Should contact the campaign and tell them to contact shows like Opie and Anthony and Howard Stern. These are great targets.

[sluggo]

I have Sirius and sometimes listen to the Stern show. Stern might have some libertarian leanings but let me make one thing absolutely clear:

Howard Stern WILL NOT support Ron Paul in any way. Stern is as bad as a neocon when it comes to foreign policy.

Calling his show trying to advertise Ron Paul will backfire in a very ugly way.

Trust me.

[sluggo]

Stern is a sellout if he supports Clinton.

Last week, Stern said that both Hillary and Rudy would be good Presidents.

but he is against the war in iraq, and the fcc and the sirius xm merger is his number 1 issue...

I'm a long time O&A fan. Its true their ratings are going downhill. But they still do a good-sized audience that could be useful.

Now the only way we can get Paul on Stern's show is to get the campaign to do it.

[sluggo]

Still, when he gets on the subject of Iran, 9/11 etc. he is as bloodthirsty as they come.

I think you'd have better luck with Bubba the Love Sponge, or you could try to get on Adam Carolla's show. I think Stern might use it as an excuse to get nasty.

[mconder]

Wow. Another top quality endorsement from a stand up guy. Along with the nations most successful brothel owner, Howard Stern is just who the campaign needs. This will go over well with Christians, Lutherans, and Mormons alike.

Seriously, don't associate Dr. Paul's views with Howard Stern, even if they are similar politically.

Ron Paul's freedom message brings us together, it doesn't divide us. If Stern and his millions of listeners want to support Paul, are you saying it's a bad idea because of the Christians, Lutherans, and Mormons? Sounds like someone is putting egocentric concerns in front of groupcentric concerns.

We should spreads Paul's message to anyone who will listen and join the cause...period.

[vertesc]

If Bubba is a fan, Tucker is on the show with any regularity, you can mention that in the call. Say something like "I'm sure you don't want to listen to a political sales pitch on the air - but you should talk to Tucker Carlson or Bubba about this guy. They're both supporters, too."

It's OK for Stern to be vitriolic about 9/11 - so's Paul. It's the one action of war that he voted FOR, remember? To go into Afghanistan in retaliation for 9/11. Iran is just premature.

[fwaokda]

It saddens me that people would want to be against this because they feel Stern is a "filthy" person. Stern isn't a bad person at all! I have been a Christian all my life but I listen to and read many forms of media. Howard is STRONGLY against the war by the way. I heard recently the comment about Hillary and Rudy too. I believe if he knew more about their policies and then learned about Ron Paul's policies then he'd be very supportive about Dr. Paul's revolution! One of the greatest things about the Revolution is that it brings together people from all kinds of different views and all parts of the country. DONT TAKE THAT AWAY! I honestly believe that mormons, christians, etc. will not care about howard stern supporting this candidate. I've read many of your ideas and I'm going to update the initial post. Keep posting supportive replys and spread the word so that we can make this happen for Dec. 16th!!!

[EotS]

I've listened to Howard for about 15 years now. While I do like the show, Howard is a mental midget when it comes to anything about politics.

He's no libertarian. He applauded Giuliani's tactics in NYC. He was "thankful" that we had a president like GWB who took it to those terrorists. Of course, now, he's against the war because he changes with the wind and the major media reports.

He's not even against the FCC now that they don't have such control over him. He'd just as soon leave it in place so his terrestrial radio counterparts have to suffer with it.

So I won't be calling him, but I'll be listening to see if any of you get through. I don't foresee good results, but it'll be interesting to see what you come up with.

I've listen to him for the past 2/3years and he was lied to like many of us about the war, but has been against it for quite some time now. To say he isn't against the FCC makes me feel you don't listen too closely. He is STILL against the FCC. Just because they no longer have their boot on him doesn't mean he doesn't care. I've heard him curse them just in the past few weeks.


DIGG THIS ARTICE!!! LOOK IN THE FIRST POST FOR A DIGG LINK!

"I prefer libertarian," he told the Chicago Tribune in an August 10, 2000 interview, after the newspaper noted that Selleck was usually identified as a conservative.

Selleck further distanced himself from the conservative label in an article on National Review Online (May 29, 2004). "I'm a registered independent with a lot of libertarian leaningsA longtime supporter of gun rights, Selleck appeared in a TV ad for the National Rifle Association (NRA) in 1999. That decision ended up generating headlines after he was verbally attacked by Rosie O'Donnell on her daytime talk show for being pro-gun. On the show, Selleck defended his beliefs, and said, "...the Second Amendment, and all of the Bill of Rights, are extremely important. And somebody needs to stand up at times [when] some of our politicians are demagogueing issues."

HE WOULD GET A LOT OF WOMEN TO TAKE A LOOK

Those hacks dont get any ratings, howard stern has more listeners than opie and anthony and they are on terrestial radio!

Have you heard terrestrial radio lately? The same reason "the masses" won't listen to O&A are the same reasons why Ron Paul isn't higher in polls - people are idiots. They want "safe", boring morning shows. CBS radio will not even permit them to use the word SCUMBAG - how they pull it off everyday is beyond me. The show that just replaced them in Florida is UNBELIEVABLY bad- it's almost a parody of a morning show. Also, they were suspended from XM for a month and a half during those Arbitron ratings so the picture painted isn't exactly accurate.

Opie and Anthony's show is big enough to support an Arena comedy tour. Recently, on "make stuff up Tuesday" they made the claim that New England Patriot Tom Brady was suspended. By the end of the day, it was a top internet search phrase. They do have influence and I think would be more receptive to Dr. Paul then Howard.

Any exposure is good exposure. And judging by the O&A forums, if the boys started giving Paul a hard time / got something wrong the fans would correct them right quick.

[Jobarra]

Surprised noone has mentioned simply calling in and doing a "Ron Paul BABABOOEY BABABOOEY!" yet :P "Ron Paul LIBERTY LIBERTY" might be more appropriate, but it would be funny for 1000s of callers to do that to Howard since he's done that to other media outlets.

[fwaokda]

bump!! SPREAD THE WORD!!! Digg the digg link!

[rational thinker]

Barely any diggs.

[nbruno322]

we should not waste our time with Stern. For every person that Stern reaches out to about Paul, we will lose 2 social conservatives. It does not seem like an efficient way to earn support. As much as I am turned off by him, Paul would be better suited to gain the support of James Dobson, not Howard Stern. Are you people serious?

[JenH88]

This is a great idea- Stern is always going for shock value, remember Ron Paul supporters are considered 'terrorists' LOL.. I think Stern would be intrigued to hear the words of a 'terrorist'... just saying that it would be too much temptation, he would HAVE to hear us out. Stern is smart enough to see through the smear attempt the mass media is trying to do to Ron Paul, remember the mass media did have a smear campaign against Stern. Whether you personally like or endorse Stern is besides the point- our message brings people of all walks of life together, even the ones you'd rather not associate with on a normal basis.

[fwaokda]

James Dobson ?! He MIGHT have 1/20th of the audience that Howard Stern has... if you want to do this for James Dobson then YOU call into his show. It would only take one call from you and you'd get in no problem. People that are against this because its howard stern disgust me. Freedom is for Everyone! no just people who you judge morally correct!

[rajibo]

Send Liv to the studio. :D

[EotS]

ha - actually, that is the most plausible idea rajibo.

If someone could turn him on to the idea that this girl takes her clothes off while promoting a presidential candidate, it may get his attention.

Does she hang out on this forum at all?

[davidt!]

Maybe we could call the whole porn industry while were at it too. Have Jenna Jameson do some campaining. Maybe Ron Jeremy? We can get Ron paul to do the ring toss!

ill take howard stern's endorsement, that would probably bring in many votes from his loyal listeners, plus possibly airtime for Paul, and I will take his endorsement over the endorsement of a con man like pat robertson...

[EotS]

Just wondering if anyone was having any luck with their calls today?

[Ridiculous]

I listen to Howard Stern and think he is funny, he is libertarian leaning on a lot of things, but he is pretty much a Zionist. And I am not really a conspiracy theorist if you know me from my previous posts.

I remember him saying things like, "The reason the US needs to support Israel is because if we didn't several billion Muslims would wipe them off the map"

"Isreal was just some sand that no one wanted, the Jews took it and made it an Oasis"

I've listened to him for almost 20 years and I know he would NOT be for ending aid to Israel.

[Ridiculous]

But say he did have Paul on, his interview would be followed by a stripper riding the Sibian (a female masturbation machine), or a game of anal ring toss. I'm not even joking, those are actual segments on his show.

[Flash]

Its no surprise Stern would defend Israel, hes just another special interest idiot. He wouldn't defend a black christian nation in the middle east, imo.

[bluto20]

Stern only took one call and that was from some Beth worshipper. He does filter phonecalls. So I see this never happening.

[tsetsefly]

Its no surprise Stern would defend Israel, hes just another special interest idiot. He wouldn't defend a black christian nation in the middle east, imo.

he is a jew that is why he is pro israel, but he will agree with paul on most issues, iraq, the fcc, low taxes, I think we need to call him about it let him know about paul...

plus howard stern has fans that literally vote for whoever he votes, lmao...

[Flash]

he is a jew that is why he is pro israel

Seems like he has a stronger alleigance to Israel than to America.

[Luther]

Stern is a sellout if he supports Clinton.

I wouldn't call him a sellout because he wouldn't be getting anything out of the deal, just a fool politically, which he freely admits that he is.

[Luther]

Howard Stern is one of the only celebrity endorsements that would actually have a measurably positive effect.

[tsetsefly]

Howard Stern is one of the only celebrity endorsements that would actually have a measurably positive effect.

agree... plus free advertisment to over 2 million listeners if he interviews him...

[Ridiculous]

"Right after anal ring toss, presidential candidate Ron Paul" :rolleyes:

[Mani]

ha - actually, that is the most plausible idea rajibo.

If someone could turn him on to the idea that this girl takes her clothes off while promoting a presidential candidate, it may get his attention.

Does she hang out on this forum at all?

Yes.

[Ridiculous]

Then they Stern will try to get her to ride the Sibian

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybian


I'm not even joking, they have one of these and they try to get every attractive girl that comes on the show to ride it.



I think Howard Stern is funny. But come on. Seriously, you are talking about having a girl get naked while promoting Ron Paul. Do you think Paul would want that?

Ahnold has been a guest for many years and appeared when he was running in California, Howard stern has also had other politicians including a congressman from New York and he knows how to handle/interview them, he knows what he is doing...

Regardless of what you think of him this would be great ADVERTISEMENT!
