I'm annoyed with the media. The coverage is much less than I was hoping for. Just a 1 sentence soundbite on the radio, or a minor blurb in the paper.
Its almost like since the media new it was coming, they didn't care.
Like, "Yeah we knew about the teaparty...that money bomb is a one trick pony, we don't care."
I say F* the media, if the media will ignore Ron Paul, then we need to walk up to every home and do it ourselves. There's 120,000 people who donated the last 2.5 months, that's 120,000 people who can reach out to masses and spread the word. This doesn't include the thousands of others who didn't even donate this quarter or who have yet to donate.
We donated with our wallets to give the campaign the funds they need to compete for the long haul. We gave them the money so they can be on a level playing field financial wise, with the big boys.
Now it's time for a different donation. Now we need to donate our time. We have to get our boots on the ground, and start talking to people. The media will not spread the word, the ads will help a little, but it's up to us to make the difference.
This is a grassroots campaign, that means it's up to us to make it happen.
Goal #1 Bring in the money. COMPLETE. Not only did we raise enough money to compete with the big boys, WE BLEW THEM AWAY. We RAISED MORE MONEY than them!
Who would have thought possible 6 months ago when we celebrated $2million in a quarter that we could raise $6million IN ONE DAY! Not only did we out raise the big boys, WE BROKE HISTORY. Not just internet history, BUT ALL TIME FUND RAISING HISTORY.
You don't need the media to tell you, you know it, keep it in your heart, that's good enough. You've witnessed the power and beauty of this campaign. Now get ready to harness that power for the next step.
Goal #2 spread the word of Ron Paul and bring people to the polls.
Just like 6 months ago when we looked like the little guy with a few dollars in his pocket VS these giant mega rich boys....Here we are with our 6% - 8% in the polls and the other guys with 20% - 30%.
How can we do it? Well we did the unthinkable. We out raised the corporate elites, now it's time to do the unthinkable again. Regardless of what the real number is, we take our 6% support and turn it into 26%, then 36%.
We spread the word, we coordinate with the campaign and the meetups on meeting, calling, and reaching out to everyone and we get those people familiar with Ron Paul.
Hand out 10 slimjims a day. Put up 5 yard signs every night on your way home from work or school. Call and speak to 5 friends about Ron Paul every day. And so much more! Every day we get more and more creative!
We can do this. No one could have believed a few individual spammers could raise more money than the big corporate masters and their $2300/person fund raisers and their expensive corporate cocktail gatherings.
Yet here we are with more money then most of the other campaigns.
WE THE PEOPLE are BIGGER then any corporation or rich elitists.
WE THE PEOPLE can accomplish ANYTHING when we are motivated and COMMITTED to bringing FREEDOM, PEACE and PROSPERITY back into this country.
WE CAN DO THIS! We don't need the media, we can do it ourselves!
Together WE WILL WIN!!
