Austin Campaign Dominated by 9/11 Truthers

[inspectorgadget]

I've recently come around to the logical conclusion that Ron Paul is the best candidate for president... but I've been turned off from getting with the other supporters here in Austin, as all the meetup's take place at the 9/11 truther head quarters here.... like Brave New Books on the Drag.

Should I start my own Ron Paul meetup here?

Does anyone know of a meetup group that is disassociated with the 9/11 truth movement? I find 9/11 conspiracies to be preposterous, just as my candidate does. But these people seem to be obsessed with a conspiracy to EXPOSE the conspiracy, and other crazy nonsense that I Don't think is going to bode well for the campaign here.

Anyway... i'd really like to know who else there is here in Austin promoting Ron Paul who doesn't believe 9/11 was an inside job.

If you start a non-truther meetup I will join it. I avoided joining meet up because of that. I'm in Austin too. But got turned off by a few things I saw on meetup.com and have just been working solo.

In some areas people have formed new meetups when they wanted to be separate from the truthers or disruptive meetup organizers. You could try looking for other nearby non-truther groups or you could try starting a topic on the meetup message board to see if anyone else in the group is interested in forming a new group without the truthers. Maybe a few people could chip in to help pay for the new group.

Brave New Books has plenty of non-911 books, but it does have a lot of literature on the 911 lie.

You can contact the meetup coordinators and they can help you find a way to contribute without going to BNB (which imo is the greatest bookstore ever). They can provide you with names and addresses for handwritten letters, precinct maps with addresses, and so forth. You will be hearing about 911 truth for the rest of your life until the truth is revealed, so I would find a way to coexist.

Try the Williamson County meetup that meets in Round Rock and Georgetown.

the troothers need to leave their conspiracy theorist out of RP campaigning, its like having meet ups at a church etc.

Start your own meetup group that way you can select who you want to associate with. Austin is the turher capital of the world if you haven't noticed.

Well I think you're an idiot then. I will be pissed off for as long as I have to hear 9/11 truth garbage.

That's with all due respect!

Anyway, yeah I have noticed Austin is insane with it's 9/11 truth bullshit. It's because of Alex Jones no doubt. He's everywhere.

I'll email you fortite... or you could message me, whatever. Either way we should get together.

Troothers and a lack of discretion seem to go hand in hand. It would be fine to have Troothers in all our groups if they could hold their tongue when discussing the campaign and when dealing with the general public.
