    Robert's Rules say I need a second.
    we have a second:

It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    Thank you, I just heard about this and I'm on the road. I am honored just to be considered, and I would be glad to carry and convey the thoughts of RPFs to Rand Paul's campaign. Assuming I do not end up working for his campaign in North Carolina. I am on the road right now, driving, and posting by voice to text. I will be able to post much more in about two hours.

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

    Well. As long as we're not overly selective when fishing in the pool of thoughts that are shared at RPF's. We do tend to throw some of those back into the pond if'n they aren't up to our personal standard. Is a natural phenomenon. Heh...

    I'd prefer Gunny got some type of paying position with real responsibility with the campaign. But other than that, he's a great choice.

    Same here. That's why I nominated him. There is nothing stopping the campaign from having a grassroots coordinator. I'm sure Gunny has contacts in all the states. Wouldn't that make him a great place to start?

    The grassroots HAS to be organized this time.

    And for the love of all things holy, if we're going to do the delegate route - PLEASE - make sure they have a solid leader in each state to pull it off! One that knows the rules for their state and preferably someone with lots of contacts across their state!

    Is this the first thread on the subject? It seems like people are talking as if it has been discussed before. Have Rand's people reached out on this?

    Most discussions I recall seem to imply that Collins thinks he is the RPF liaison.

    I do recall this idea coming up before the 2012 campaign. hopefully Randal's campaign is more open to suggestions and interaction from grassroots folk. Since I'm sure some of his people read rpfs on a regular basis maybe he'll hear about this. Hell, It'd be cool if Randal did an Ask Me Anything thread on rpfs some time soon; before a presidential campaign

    I don't want him to do an AMA here. You just know that certain people would be extremely rude and hateful to him. Maybe he could do a private AMA, where you have to apply to participate before the event so that his opponents wouldn't be included.

    Naw, I think the moderators here could handle it. In fact, I'd suggest he do an AMA and rpfs send out a notification email about it beforehand to all non-banned members. Maybe we could use it bring some of the old blood back.

    He can handle it. It would be heavily monitored anyway, so that TOS would be enforced.

    I only have one question to ask of him in which I'd like a public, official postion. And I ain't tellin'.

    Of course, everyone probably already knows it anyhow. It's not like I haven't brought it up like a gazillion times. Heh...

    Whoever it is should create a suggestion box (however they like, perhaps as an email address) and place it in their signature.

    I nominate Gunny, Deb, or Penny Freeman.

    Gunny is in an important state, and is close enough to where the headquarters is rumored to be located to drive over in a day if needed.
    Not sure where Deb is located, but I think Penny Freeman is in Texas, so that's a bit far from Kentucky and not really a potential swing state at this point.
