Plan of action. So today we raised money. Lots of it. But we need to use it effectively. I am a loyal supporter, and I really want to make everyone notice us. My thoughts below:
a. The IOWA infomercial is average. Could we have one of our video experts give it a more refined touch? Elib3rty?
b. National Advertisements. The reason OM is not talking about us is: we are not spending $ on their channels. We need to advertise on the channels, they will have to discuss us. I know there was some talk about doing it if we raised 10M. We should do it irrespective.
c. People stealing our platforms. Huckabee etc have been conveniently borrowing Dr. Paul's views. We need to go on the offensive. Make some videos showing the flip floping and air them independent of the campaign. Something along the lines of operationNH. The offical campaign should not get their hands dirty doing this.
d. Dr. Paul needs to be a bit more clear about some of his views. i.e. his honesty is being mis-interpreted. For example, I just saw a video about his view on evolution, and I understood what he meant, but someone else could easily mis-construe it the way they want. What he said: Evolution is a theory. What he meant: Evolution is a valid theory but we are cannot prove with 100% certainty how it began. How people understood it: I do not believe in evolution. In this age of sound-bites, every word counts.
e. We need to go on the offensive. We have raised money. We need to rub that into the faces of every person who asks the 3rd party question. Ans should be: I have raised 18M, please ask Huckabee/Mcain etc why they are still running. Also, I hate it when he lets people talk over him. Being polite is good, but he should nicely tell the person he wants to finish his thought and then he will answer their question. Hannity etc need to be put in their place.
I hope we can add to this list, and maybe get the offical campaign involved. We obviously have the talent/resources/people to make a difference, and I would hate to see us miss opportunities.
