Very good job to all who helped out in Michigan. 50+ thousand voters in a situation where Paul is never given the millions in free advertising by the media, and half the people voting there probably knew nothing about him. I know some people here read and appreciated a post i made after the last primary, and said it helped boosted their spirits if only for a few night. I'm not here to make a boost your spirit post, I'm here to make a kick your ass post!
I hear a lot of complaining and speculation about the campaign. They didn't spend enough here, or there. They are jerks and don't respond, they are out of money and wasted everything...etc. I even saw someone say hey what can you do, the grassroots does not have the money, the campaign does.
BULLSHIT! You are the grassroots and you HAVE the money. If you are not happy with the campaign DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! If you are not happy with how your donated money is spent DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! At your max and want to donate more DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
You people are doing something nobody could have conceived just a few years ago. You are single handedly taking on every mass media outlet in a fight so important it will effect generations to come.
The chipins here and there are great, but so many get missed or not funded they never see light. And even then there is no cohesive message being relayed in them. ORGANIZE!
There are some very very dedicated and brilliant people in the grassroots. Organize them! Trust them! develop your own streamlined battle plan and message, money bomb it and attack the media EVERYWHERE all at once instead of magazine here, radio ad there with different messages. This whole someone else will do it attitude is what the media counts on will defeat you!
I see all over here radio, newspaper and magazine ads that cost 2,3,4 thousand dollars and reach tens upons tens of thousands of people in each State. Take the Jeremiah Black way and put together streamlined ads with strategic direction to specific states, funded by the people for the people.
20,000 RP supporters donating $50 to a grassroots campaign would give you 1 million dollars to fight back legitimately against those that drown out your voice. How many of YOUR ads would that fund? And if the campaign does have something planned it's twice the coverage.
You are all so close to this, it is the next logical step. You can win, but the unique thinking and ideas need to be taken to the next level.
And i'm sorry if this comes across as dramatic or out of place. It is just frustrating sitting here watching the media mute or marginalize the campaign and it's supporters at every single turn no matter what. And it will get worse and worse the longer they are in power. You are such a large group of people committed to one cause and have shown what you are capable of on large and small levels. You're so close and a lot of you don't even realize it yet. Organize properly and fight them.
