Operation AM Storm
Lets get to the point, in order to win the GOP nomination Rand is going to need more than the liberty movement at his back. Ted Cruz has demonstrated an ability to cobble together a coalition of support from the conservative, evangelical and the liberty wing of the Republican Party. As the grassroots support for Rand, I believe we should implement strategies that will help our man achieve a similar coalition, without stepping on the toes of his campaign. One strategy I believe can make a positive difference is to call in to national and local (IA and NH) AM radio programs to promote Paul, not as a libertarian fringest, but as a common sense constitutional conservative. This must be a concerted effort in order to maximize effect. At the same time, it needs to not be blatantly obvious, as that would actually be more harmful than good.
If you listen to the programs of Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Steve Deace etc. you will notice there is a strong dissatisfaction and refutation of the establishment in the Republican party. At the moment right now Marco Rubio needs to be target number one. The Rubio campaign has been attempting to tie Ted Cruz to Rand Paul in an effort to hurt the Cruz campaign. Ironically, I believe we need to do exactly that to bolster Paul's.
And so we need to:
- Attack Rubio as establishment and anti-conservative
- Use the words and policies of Paul to contrast Rubio
- Tie Paul with Cruz on these attacks on Rubio and the establishment
- On decent Trump positions (there are a few, like foreign involvement) tie Paul's positions with Trump's.
- Listen to what the radio host is talking about and if applicable, talk about how Rand agrees with the host's positions.
-Be more agreeable than defensive
It is important that we don't seem like:
-Die hard Ron Paul/Rand Paul cultists. Instead we need to sound like solid conservative types who are warm to the ideas of Rand and Ted. Many who support Rand are in fact solid-conservative types
-Hardcore libertarians. I'm not saying throw it under the bus, far from it, but instead couch the ideas of liberty in a more standard conservative casing.
-Aggressive, mean, belittling, etc.
In order to keep this AM offensive efficient, we should keep the community continually informed on what shows you called into, how was the reception, what was said, etc. If you can ahead of time, link to the show before you are on so that others here can listen.
Here's an example of what I said when I called into Mark Levin's program on Dec. 16 (https://soundcloud.com/president-paul-92255668/levin):
"Hi Mr. Levin, I wish I could say I was shocked at the pundit class propping up Rubio after the debate. I think Paul and Cruz eviscerated him and its almost like they are watching a different debate, immigration, border security, amnesty.. he was eviscerated. They are on a different planet..
And yet you see the MSM puppets playing up the neocon angle.. I mean Luntz's group says Christie, another Patriot Act loving RINO was the big winner and Paul is lumped with Jeb as the biggest losers--get real, where they watching someone else? I mean I'm glad there was some love for Cruz in that group but aside from that , where does Luntz conduct his focus groups out of KARL Rove’s closet?"

P.S.
Suggestions, timely topics, buzzwords are all welcome.. in fact they are downright wanted. Eventually I want to get people on here coming up with some loose outlines for callers to use (if you feel you are no good talking on the radio, helping in this way would be equally awesome). Until that's all figured out, just be mindful of the do's and don'ts listed above. If you let me know what program you were on and when, roughly, your comment took place, I can probably track it down and make an mp3 for posterity.
