We are part of one of history's most impressive people movements, but I am not quite sure how to refer to our group. I think it is important that we get behind a suitable name, remind media to use that name, to begin to build ourselves as a memorable and easily mentionable brand with a clear message.

Our name should be strong but hopefully inclusive so as to not disassociate ourselves from average Americans.

Here are some that I have seen:

Paulites: Maybe OK, but sounds like cultists a bit.
Paulians: As above but easier sound and a touch acedemic.
Ron Paul's Grassroots Movement: Too long.
Paultards: Self-deprecation doesn't appeal to all...though I kind of like it.
MoRons: Like Paultards, started as an insult, but has no appeal.
Ron Paul Revolution: Not sure if this describes us or the event in general.

Please state which you prefer and offer other name suggestions for our movement.

Why do we need a label? :cool:\

Because if we don't choose one for ourselves the media will make a box to put us in. They make their carreers catagorising people and movements with names. We can't let them have that kind of control. If they control the name they can control the image. Branding is a major thing we need to keep an eye on.

We need to sell Ron Paul as a brand and the movement as a brand just as much as we need to sell Ron Paul. They are all different sides of the coin. As discusting as the consumerist culture is in this country we need to try and use what we've learned from these assholes against them and one of the first steps is not letting them marginalise us. We can do that by branding ourselves with a name that is more complimentary to the movement of it's followers.

I refuse to accept the name "Paulhead" whomever invented that needs to get a foot to the ass. It sounds like some middle school thing. This isn't a Jimmy Buffet concert, this is a presidential election. I think the name "Paulite" sounds much more respectable, grown up and even a little biblical.

I'm sorry guys i just disagree. If we sit back and let them name us we would be making a huge strategic error.

Calling ourselves individuals is truthful but it's not somthing that is going stop them from naming us. We are individuals that's true but we are individuals with a common goal and people should see us as a united force. In order to do that in modern media terms we need to brand ourselves with something that will stick in peoples heads.

Pay attention guys
Them calling us "Paulheads" is the equivalent to older americans as calling us deadheads. It is a box, we can't let them have this power. We need to stop this early, like yesterday.

Why do we need a label? :cool:
Main reason is that it helps media refer to us. That means more writing about us and it infers great significance for who we are and what we do.

The Ron Paul supporters have a campaign that is more significant in many ways than the official Ron Paul campaign. It is a highly significant movement which represents real people. A good name which we can agree upon would assist communication.

It needn't infer that we are all of the one mind, but that we share certain ideals.

Then let's not let the media box us in. Throw their immature little buzzwords back in their faces. If they insist on labelling us under their terms, we need to call it out...

"So do you think you and the other Paulheads will make a difference in this campaign?", asks the demeaning sold-out Fox-dropping correspondent.

"Paulhead? Is that the best buzzword you can make up? What are you - five years old? I'm an AMERICAN, you insulting shrew! Ask your damn question!", answers the patriot.

I'm sorry man, i actually would love that to be the case but the truth is that they have the airwaves, we need to get smart about this stuff and speak their language. They speak in the language of labels and boxes, we need to communicate our own intentions and worth with our own label.

"Paulhead" is straight up insulting and has a bad instictive connotation. We can not battle that by screaming at them "Don't label me!!!" they won't listen to that and they won't put it on the air. We have to take control of our own image for Ron's sake.

What we need to do is pick a name that has a positive connotation and have Ron Paul refer to us in the press under that name. That way we will take back the power over our own image.

This is exactly how it can be done! (We choose a name and Ron starts using it.)

Now if only we could find a term that JUST FEELS RIGHT.

Till now, some great (and funny) suggestions but Paulites is looking like the best. The word has the benefit of being self descriptive, unlike generic terms like Americans or Revolutionaries or Multi-word terms.

Entire Grassroots Movement = Ron Paul Revolution

As in:
The Ron Paul Revolution is showing its online support by raising over 12 million dollars in a single quarter, far out stripping the fund raising efforts of all of the other campaigns.

Group of Ron Paul Supporters (1 or more meetup groups) = Ron Paul Brigade

As in:
The Ron Paul Brigade made its presence known at the Mitt Romney Photo Op on his campaign stop today.

Individual Ron Paul Volunteers = Ron Paul Infantry

As in:
Members of the Ron Paul Infantry were out in full force today, trudging through the rain, sleet, and snow to knock on doors and spread the message about Dr. Ron Paul.

Some suggestions here are appropriate to describe the movement as a whole (e.g. Revolution 2.0) instead of the term for the Ron Paul Supporters.

Also, I'm not for working in the term republican. This would put off a lot of potential joiners.

Face it, the 2 party political system is far from ideal, and while there are some good things about some of the old right republicans of the past, the party has done a lot of bad things. The founders never wanted a 2 party system.

Let's begin to vote for people and ideals rather than parties.

Interesting, but I think the media will settle on a one word term if they have to refer to a movement or the individuals within that movement regularly.

Like all of that. And as a whole the RP Revolutionaries.

Also like the Remnant, or the Liberty Remnant.

Or throw a bone to judge Napolitano and refer to ourselves as the Wolves, or the Liberty Wolves.

The headline of this article gives the perfect name, though it's not naming the movement per se.

The Paul movement should be called the "New Liberty Movement".

If we use Paul's name it sounds like were are a cult of personality. However in Paul's case his supporters are the only group which is not a cult of personality but rather a principled grassroots movement.

Honestly I think we are the right wing equivalent of the 60s hippie revolution.


possible names:

The anti-state counterculture

The Minuteman Revolt

I always refer to us as Paulites.

As mentioned above, though we are the Resistance -- I use that term alot as well. But I usually use it to describe Alex Jones as leader of the Resistance . . .

We shouldn't call ourselves anything. Follow the advice of the good doctor and think of people as individuals, not groups.

I'm OK with Paulbots. We earned that one. Yes it was derrogatory at first, but when they saw our numbers were real (and not some online bot) we started calling ourselves that in chat rooms for fun.

yes I like Paulbots

The Remant - Ron Paul

This from Terry2, who has just signed up but cannot post yet.
---------------------

Dr. Paul already answered this question. He called his supporters the Remnant. See here:

Had to PM you cause I can't post yet.
----------------------------------

I would love it if people thought of us, and refered to us as the remnant. But might be hard to get the media to use this term as it would require further explanation.

How about "Grandchildren of Liberty"? It is a term that has not been used yet, google search turns up zero results.

I agree with LBT, this is about branding and I just put the term up on the post-16th TeaParty07.com page...

Here is the proposed page:
http://mysite.verizon.net/nathanielyao/index.html

Maybe make a poll? I'll put up whichever one you guys think is best...
