Some have heard the acronym K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) and thats what we need to do. Our message is the most important thing we have. The problem is its complex. We need to craft the message down in to shorter talking points. We need to dumb it down for the average person (were all above average) We need to relate the topics in ways ordinary people will understand. Lets figure this out!

My first example, Immigration & How Ending a Welfare State Solves It:

Have you ever had a friend call and tell you there is FREE pizza at this one store? you get there and its a huge lineup, everyone wants free stuff. As the line gets shorter suddenly the owner announces that they are all out. This is why we have so many illegal immigrants. When you offer anything free, everyone wants some. If you quit giving away everything suddenly not as many people will show up and you wont run out.

So that may not be the entire theory and all the information. The thing is anyone can relate to it and it makes sense to them. Most people don't care about the in and outs, just that it works.

I would like everyone to help in crafting a new simple explanation for each topic in our message. Were going to have to simplfy.

I said the same thing in the Iowa forum.

I think we just need to stick to the major issues and say that Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who will:
1. Lower taxes.
2. Cut government spending.
3. Bring the troops home immediately. (most important)
4. Secure the borders.

ALL OF THESE NEED TO BE STREESED, because he's the only candidate that WILL accomplish all of those goals.

Those terms don't mean anything to the average american. They hear it with every other politician.

The message needs to be simple, but stated in a way that has more impact:

1. Bring the troops home immediately. Stop policing the world!
2. Cut billions of dollars of government spending by bringing the troops home.
3. Lower taxes by eliminating the income tax.
4. Help reduce illegal immigration by eliminating incentives.
5. Secure the Borders by actually locking down the borders.
6. End the intrusive Patriot Act and honor personal privacy.
7. Trade and Friendship with other Countries, without Nation Building.

In fact, the whole damn campaign can be summed up in two words:

America First!

I know, it's so simple. Why we don't see it more is beyond me.

On every issue Ron Paul is the real conservative. The Republican party is in shredds, and seeks the conservatism it must rally behind this election season. The R party consesus is that Huck is no conservative, and this is true. R party faithfull dislike McCain because he sells them out every chance he has gotten in the halls of the Senate. Thompsons lack luster showing, and zero funding leaves him dead in the water, post ice burg collision. Mitt is carrying a black eye.

Ron Paul is the Rally candidate of the Conservative party.

"I am the Real Conservative" Ron Paul.

This is the message that needs to be sent! The economy is 70% consumerism. The message needs to be WHAT YOU CAN BUY YOURSELF WHEN THERE IS NO IRS!

Pointing out that we have troops in over 130 countries and RP wants to bring them all home seems like a good place to start.
