The internet was Ron Paul grassroots central. The media was not reporting about him. The first people saw him in the debates... the media cldn't help but show that, and EVEN then Fox removed him from the replays near the primaries.
The word spread about Ron Paul through true grassroots efforts. The youtube videos came, the meetup groups came, Ron Paul Forums... DailyPaul.... all of this.. Ron Paul Radio, along with the MONEY BOMBS..
Practically everything was grassroots. And Ron Paul knows it, and thats the way he based the campaign.
There are areas that could be improved and WILL be in the future imo. There needs to be more specific advertising..
The goal should be gaining activists or playing on peoples pet loves or hates. Gun Show - promote Ron Paul... Economic Magazine - promote Ron Paul... gets ads in Cato or whatever. Hemp organizations... Civil Liberty orientated... Anti-War... a simply bring the troops home, Ron Paul 2008... even in a socialist magazine... you think provide a link to ron pauls anti WAR messages, youtubes etc...
They see him getting flamed in the debates, but him saying it and rebutting anyway.. the truth and honesty will sell them. The lefties will then take a look at his other policies... JUST AS I DID.
I eventually realised I was wrong, not him..
It's WASTED money and resources to simply put out an ad to the general populace. The zombies and sheeple.
Maybe on a PBS program, or some show that requires brain cells and is watched by intelligentish / awake people.. there will be a better success rate.
The way to take back the country, is through power. You can't defend liberty, without power. Watch - An Idea Whose Time has Come by G. Edward Griffin.
I really don't think it is possible to reform the Republican party. The leaders are totally sold, they have no souls. Some people will topple their local districts and if they can - all the more power to them. Be the republican running.... but the baggage on the republicans is going to remain for a long time...
The best op imo, is LP or some other party... the LP has effectively sold its soul though. "Party of principles" = bullshit now. If you want to take a party back - its that one.... Barr needs GTFO and all those that oppose an open stance on principle for votes..
Take it back, all the Ron Paul grassroots goes to the party - campaigns hardcore and spreads the message. The two main partys need to be rejected.. and government apparatus needs to be rejected.. it is the best way to wake people up..
