I agree somewhat with the OP.
I've worked my ass off on this Moneybomb, only to have a hand full of people step up to help out with promotion.
I can't even get the forums to post a widget.
It's been a frustrating experience, that I will likely never volunteer to do again.

It's not a real revolution first of all..we aren't violently overthrowing anything (and we'd better not start). It's more aptly an "evolution" in the tradition of Lysander Spooner and the other individualists who swore off revolutions as a means to victory for liberty, and instead embraced evolving the state down to a smaller and smaller unit (until it was possibly abolished, depending on your tastes). Many of us have disliked the "r3volution" tag from the start for what it falsely implies and ignores about the established tradition of the libertarian movement (a nonviolent movement).
Also, it's not an evolution of a campaign...it's an evoltuion of ideas. The Enlightenment and the Age of Reason took centuries, not a couple of Presidential election cycles. Get used to changing minds and not winning in your lifetime if you're truly dedicated to this cause. This is the 2nd Enlightenment, and we're going to be here a while working in what seems like a vain attempt...we're doing it for those who live after us, not ourselves. We'd all love to see liberty in our time...it's not likely though.
Welcome to the sucky part of the this movement...the reality we're in a few hundred year long fight and are not likely to see victory anytime soon.
Besides, we're doing well in delegates...it's not as bad as you think it is. I've been pleasently suprised about how well we've done. I never had any delusions of grandeur, and we have far exceeded my expectations. If Ron Paul wins I think I'll have damn heart attack...but if I die it will be a worthy sacrifice for liberty, so don't cry for me if it happens.

I am sick and $#@!ing tired of people telling me to do more. I do what I can do. My primary is over so all I can do now is PFH and donate and try to spread good info, while raising four kids and running a business. If it's not enough, well, I don't know what to tell you. Posts like this don't motivate anyone they just piss people off. Get it out of grassroots central.

I believe that since all the Romney supporters in America will think that Ron Paul is dropping out, they will be on their best behavior around Paul supporters in order to win their votes. Since we all know that Paul is not dropping out, we can continue on with our Liberty Campaign of obtaining delegates as before, and also enjoy the friendly overtures of Romney supporters. The Romney camp will be hard-pressed to continue their attacks on us when they know that they need our votes to defeat Obama. What a great way of spreading the Liberty message with people who are now receptive to our message! But then come the GOP Convention...we strike with the ferocity of a thousand delegate-lions unleashed on the weakened prey of those that are poisoning America with their progressive anti-US Constitution agenda.

If I read right the last few days after the Oklahoma and Arizona conventions a few people were complaining that the campaign wasn't sending them parliamentarian experts to help them deal with chairman's voting tricks. Well here you have it. The announcement states that the campaign will concentrate on winning delegates at the remaining conventions. Ron Paul and campaign leaders can't be in two places at the same time. Now they made a decision to be where they are needed the most. Any way, California and Texas and the other primary states wouldn't change that much since the people who vote for Romney just want more of everything the government has to offer so that they feel we are the greatest nation on the face of the earth, even if they have to walk holding hands like kindergarten children. Also regardless of the outcome of the primaries, once Romney is denied nomination on first ballot it will be very difficult for Ron Paul to get 1144 delegates at the convention without a whole lot of work being done from now till the convention nomination time. Ron Paul needs to spend his time getting his ducks in a row. He needs to get a few high visibility supporters such as Sarah Palin, etc. and that takes a whole lot of time to do.
I called for Benton's firing about 2 months ago. But what is done is done my friends...
I tried to educate many of you about how to run a national "Republican" primary campaign but most die hards in here refused to listen.
And since many were against an Indy run, the two party criminal system continues...
If Rand does not win the Republican nomination, he should buck the controlled two party system and run as an Independent for President in 2016 and give Americans a real option to vote for.
We are all born libertarians then something goes really wrong. Despite this truth, most people are still libertarians yet not know it.
I have a feeling they are doing exactly the right thing to do considering their limited resources. The road forward is way uphill and now that the potential to deny Romney a first ballot nomination is increasing, then that means that getting 1144 for Ron Paul later on is not something that would just happen. If Romney is denied then Ron Paul needs to start making preparations for what comes right after Romney is denied on first ballot. That has to be daunting and it is a lot of internal party politics and very difficult for Ron Paul to do.
I like Sarah Palin. She took time to come to a winter Tea Party rally I was at during a blizzard, as Romney laid on some hellishly hot Mexican beach drinking RINO Kool-aid margaritas while being pampered to by sunburned establishment Gollums who coveted the Precious ring adorning his skeletal finger.
I admire her as a political heroine. It was because of her that got me interested in examining what the corrupt GOP establishment was doing to manipulate voters into voting against their very own self-interests, in regards to Liberty. I've always like Ron Paul, but for me to start critically analyzing his political philosophy and finally understand what he was trying to bring forth and to bypass the filters of deception placed before me from the biased media and GOP establishment, I needed a spark and Palin was it. She went against the GOP establishment in Alaska and won. That's inspiring. Like her or not, she motivated me to join as partners with you all in the Paul R3volution to bring Liberty back to America.

It looks to me like Romney could be denied nomination on first ballot. It won't happen unless Ron Paul shows much more depth than what he has now. Once Romney is denied, people like Sarah Palin are the ones that can turn Santorum and Gingrich delegates and some of Romney's delegates to vote for Ron Paul.
Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck COOPTED the TEA PARTY. That should be the end of any further discussion. That bitch would have to call a press conference and throw her support behind Paul NOW for a modicum of acceptance in my eyes.
