Urgent: Time to act - Giuliani taken to hospital with flu-like symptoms

[RonPaulVolunteer]

I say we flood the hospital with flowers and cards first thing in the AM and show this, hmm..., under the weather politician, why Ron Paul supporters have the LOVE in our signs.

Anyone in agreement? He's in Missouri. Someone want to contact their meetup group?

Source: http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/20/giuliani.health/index.html

(CNN) -- Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani was taken to a hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, with flu-like symptoms and is spending the night there, a Giuliani spokesman confirmed to CNN early Thursday.

Rudy Giuliani's plane returned to the airport when his condition worsened after takeoff.

Giuliani -- who had been campaigning in Missouri on Wednesday -- became ill and then felt worse after his plane took off to return to New York.

He decided to return to the airport, consulted his personal physician, and then went to Barnes-Jewish Hospital, where he was admitted.

Giuliani, who was treated for prostate cancer in 2000, told CNN in April that all of his subsequent medical screenings have been negative and that "for all intents and purposes, the cancer is cured."

"I'm very healthy now," he said. "But, of course, I get tested every six months, which you're supposed to do."

.

We could say something like...

Rudy,

Sorry to hear of your illness. Hoping that it's nothing serious and you'll be back on your feet soon.

Love, a caring Ron Paul supporter.


.

[literatim]

No. Simply because no one wants a bunch of flowers from strangers.

[Give me liberty]

No.
This a very bad idea.

When ron paul wifes was in the hospital did any other candidates say anything nice to her?
like lets say, get well soon? i think not.

[MooCowzRock]

thats a brilliant idea!

What should the cards say?

[StateofTrance]

He will call the cops. Just like the way he is.

[JoeySweets]

I think he'll be out of there in no time.

though.

It might make the news though,, since they probably will be covering it,,
I think we should go for it,,

If we can get the number of the hospital and figure out how to order flowers for his room it would be cool

[FireofLiberty]

I don't think it's a bad idea, but how about we donate money to a charity in his name instead? A very pro-liberty one, heh.

[RonPaulVolunteer]

Rudy,

Sorry to hear of your illness. Hoping that it's nothing serious and you'll be back on your feet soon.

Love, a caring Ron Paul supporter.

[AggieforPaul]

I'm not down for sympathy simply for the sake of trying to make us and our candidate look better. If you personally want to send condolences fine, but an organized and strategic act of altruism is pointless.

[Abobo]

No. Maybe if it was another candidate but not Rudy. He's a vindictive, hate filled, war mongering authoritarian.

I'm pretty sure this is the hospital Gift Shop

[Castrensis]

Anyone else think that the news piece will be on the Dept. of Homeland Security confiscating all of our well-wishing gifts because Glenn Beck received a "Death Threat" from Ron Paul supporters?

[Tedhunter]

Wish him well, and hope for a quick recovery so we can get back to defeating him. :D

the DOCTOR will see you shortly.

Not if they come from the Hospital Gift Shop,,

this is a perfect opportunity.

for 10 Bucks you can buy 3 Carnations

or for 5 bucks you can send him a beanie baby bear.

Do we know his room number

just think if 300 people do this,

I know I'm being a Hypocrit in that I probably won't do this, because I really over did it for a college student on the 16th, but if you wanted to do it the Hospital gift shop might be the way to go,, assuming he's still in there.

[LibertyForAll]

I sent a Get Well wish, and mentioned that I am a Ron Paul supporter but still wish him good health. It shows the Love Spirit that we have. I encourage anyone else to send an email as well. Below is the email address.

webteam@joinrudy2008.com

[electronicmaji]

Why the hell is he in a hospital for a cold?!?! :confused::confused::confused:

[RonPaulVolunteer]

I think we have a golden opportunity to open his eyes to our care and compassion. And act of kindness like this can do miracles.

Just imagine when Ron Paul is asked about this on air, "well yeah I heard some of our supporters did that. You know our supporters really do want the best for everyone in this nation whether they believe in our message or not".

agreed in all count, If this was someone else I wouldnt mind but not rudy. I would even do it for huckabee, but not rudy. And this is a new yorker speaking. Also if someone wants to do it, go ahead, just dont make it an organized event

[devil21]

Oh...I thought by the title someone was posting "quick, go pull the plug!"

And for the record, I wouldn't take the time to put a flaming bag of dogshit on Rudy's front porch so itll be a cold day in hell before he gets flowers and a card from me.

[Oliver]

I think it's funny if this will make the other days headlines in the MSN ... :D

FLOWER BOMB! :p

[CanadianWarrior]

Seriously I think that this is a good idea.

It dosent matter how bad someone is or how much hes an enemy or hates you

compassion is a good trait

I think its a great idea

not for publicity

but for the good will of it and also to teach him a lesson in compassion...

If you live there

do it !

[lasenorita]

Flu-like symptoms? Nothing too serious I hope.

If you're feeling sympathetic right now ...Dennis Kucinich's brother passed away recently (http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2007/12/dennis_kucinichs_52yearold_bro.html). He and his family would probably appreciate a few kind words too.

[trispear]

I'm confused -- if this was such an emergency.... why didn't he dial 911?:p:D

[tomveil]

Ah, why?

.

It's an online-petition, so the more signatures the more impact it will have. :)

Edit: Imagine a get well card with 10 pages of signatures ;)

The benefits may not be immediately recognizable in the short term, but like the butterfly's wing beat the effects are far-reaching.

[RonPaulVolunteer]

Being nice ALWAYS matters. We DON'T do it for what WE might get out of it, we do it because regardless of the ***** he is, he's a fellow human being. Besides, he's NOT going to win the nomination, so we can all relax about that. he's no competition for us at all.

.

In all honesty, if Rudy gets a 10 page "Get Well Soon" card from RP supporters he will not think it's because we want to be nice. He will think we just want to torment him in his hospital bed. Get real. And its the friggin flu for god sake, not a heart attack.

[drexhex]

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling under the weather. Do you think it may have been the dust from the towers falling on 9/11 that caused your illness? Maybe it's all that hard work you're doing in Iow... err... Missouri. Well I hope that you start getting better so that you can go out there and help split the neocon vote so Ron Paul only needs 15% to win!

Feel Better Soon!

With all of the propaganda regarding the "militant" RP supporters it's time we show that we put the LOVE in Revolution! And end to this pointless "I hate ___" rhetoric once & for all. We could stomp on Giuliani while he's down.

Instead, we extend the hand of peace.

That is what we're fighting for, right?

Well hey, if you want to be nice to the guy that laughed repeatedly during RP's debate answers, demanded that RP retract his views on blowback, and essentially spearheaded a move to ban RP from debates, then go for it. In the end, it won't matter to anyone but you and Rudy....unless the media turns into an anthrax scare caused by RP supporters tormenting Rudy on his flu death bed.

This whole topic is a joke IMHO.

yeah but Just to Reiterate, If we do this,, the word will spread in that Hospital that a bunch of Ron Paul people were sending Giuliani get well stuff,,, then They will eiter call us cooks, OR they think those people are pretty creative and really want to spread the message,, They all start talking about Ron Paul and it spreads like wildfire throughout the Hospital and pretty soon people that didn't know about Ron Paul may be turned on to his message.

[CanadianWarrior]

THIS IS A good crazy.

Sending death threats to Beck is bad crazy.

[davidhperry]

If you are genuinely concerned with his health and well-being, I would suggest contacting the hospital to leave him a message, send a card, send flowers, etc.

As a Ron Paul supporter, please don't send out anything with a blanket statement like "from Ron Paul supporters" or stuff like that. What would we expect to get out of it? Press? He's already declining in the polls - fairly quickly at that. "Flower bombs" have already been sent to Laura Ingram, Leno (who else - Glenn Beck?) and have those been effective?

If you care about making him feel better then do something of your own volition.

[davidhperry]

exactly We should be sure to mention that it's on behalf of Ron Paul M.D.

or Dr. Paul

:D

Why don't we let Paul speak for himself and not attribute his name to stuff he didn't do. Granted, this is a fairly minor thing but one or two people speaking for Ron Paul or the revolution in general is how we get ourselves into trouble.

How would we feel if some idiot nutjob committed an act of violence in the name of Ron Paul or for the Ron Paul Revolution. I don't think you'd feel like he represented you, would you? I wouldn't because he wouldn't be representing me. The same principle is operating here.

I think there is a difference between sending an email saying, "Get well" and shooting people.

I mind people using RP and the rest of us to send death threats to people and sending profanity laced emails to media types more than someone sending a half hearted 'get well soon' message.

But thats just me.

Uh, yeah, their is a huge difference between sending flowers and doing something like that. The distinction I'm making is that there is a principle at play and people should only speak for themselves instead of saying "hey, I'l going to go off and do 'xyz' and say the Ron Paul revolution supports it" when the Ron Paul revolution does not support it. It doesn't matter what "it" is.

With that said, I don't feel that strongly about it either way and I would encourage people to do what they feel is right. If people want to make Rudy feel better then they should be glad to do that individually.

If we want to send something to Rudy, why shouldn't we just sign our names to it instead of attributing it to Ron Paul?

I see your point.

I just think its more important to try to encourage our people to police themselves because about half our press coverage is about the rabid supporters angry, profanity laden emails.

There is a 99.999999% chance that if we do nice things in the name of the movement, that it would not even be picked up in the media at all. Thats not the story that they have attached to us and they tend to report things on the storyline that they have already decided on.

"McCain coming back."
"Huckabee the dark horse"
"Ron Paul supporters are conspiratorial fanatics"

If we donated a million dollars to charity, I bet they wouldn't even cover it.

[Cleaner44]

No, bad idea. Every dollar spent on cards and flowers for Rudy is a dollar not spent on Ron Paul. We have a blimp that needs funding, TV commercials in IA and NH that need funding, print ads in targeted magazines that need funding. Forget Rudy.

[jason43]

why shouldn't we just sign our names to it instead of attributing it to Ron Paul?

Just so Rudy knows we miss him.

Its more of a joke than anything else. I put my name at the bottom, but put that I was a RP supporter so that he would know that we are still here. I don't think he can take a crap without a ron paul sign in the next stall.
