Just got a call from Megan Official HQ - Iowa

[ghemminger]

Can you guys please tell me if you are currently calling Iowans - or if you know of any Meet-ups/Phone banking operations (besides - Call4Paul)

I need to get a contact list of everyone phone banking Iowans right now because we got's some trouble possibly brewing..... NOW!

George

HQ is getting a "tremendous" amount of complaints about multiple calls from voters..... I hope they are over reacting but this could be very serious.

[uncle saddam]

uh oh

[yongrel]

trouble internally, or trouble from outside?

[mport1]

What is the trouble?

[WillInMiami]

OK - out with it already. What's going on?

[ghemminger]

I Need To Know Now!!!

[yongrel]

Remember Howard Dean!?!

Okay, we apparently have at least one individual on the phone banks being extremely rude. Lovely.

[DesignerJoes]

I did this. Feel free to spread...

[RobS]

I'm assuming people are getting called two or three times and getting pissed.

Right?

This guy, ghemminger, always like to build up suspense. "OMFGGG!! A NATIONAL 30-SECOND AD BLITZ IS COMINGGGGZZ OUT!! I CAN"TZZ ZZ WAITZ. IT"S HUGEEZZZ"

Just take this with a grain of salt, that's all I'm asking. He needs to provide more info.

If it is someone calling and being rude... what can we do about it? It could be someone from a different campaign trying to sabotage us. Or just some dick with nothing else to do.

If it is a RP supporter... well, then just stop making calls if you can't be civil.

WHO IS PHONE BANKING IOWANS??

It's time to keep the hysterics to a minimum.
Always stay calm unless wild animals are eating you alive

[fredricko]

Does this have anything to do with people using the McCain phone bank?

Someone from the official campaign posted about this here (yesterday... or maybe that was two days ago), but the Admin was quick to move it. Apparently he thought it could be someone lying...? Or maybe he was just being careful?

[Jeremy]

By the way, I heard it was the Call 4 Ron or whatever its called.

[BLS]

Well, holy $#@!. The Trolls are out in force tonight.

Why don't you guys go help your worthless candidate and leave ours alone.

Every REAL RP supporter needs to chill. Just relax.

the OP is a notorious drama queen attention whore

[ghemminger]

You guys I'm serious let's get this out to all meetups and Grassroots orgs calling Iowans - The time to stop was this morning - Let HQ do the follow up calls to vote....

[Lord Xar]

I spoke with him, and if he says he needs to know WHO is making calls - then he needs to know.

Since this is the last day, everyone is just jamming trying to get the word out. BUT, if someone from campaign says stop - then we should stop.

[tboss]

What is your definition of "tremendous" amounts of calls? Two, three maybe four? What is it?

Every once in a while, I wonder why we don't do annoying phone calls on behalf of other candidates to hurt them like this (which I have a strong suspicion supporters of other candidates are doing to us). It's tough doing the whole "integrity" thing, but I know it pays off in the long run.

well...you get ridiculed a bit because you've done this too often...

but if anybody knew something he'd answer.
so if this is real you've done the right thing in posting it.

I think it's starting to sink in finally.

Direction; is good.

Control is bad.

Instead of coming on here firing away and saying the sky is falling, why don't you take the 15 seconds required to EXPLAIN the problem, be thorough and ASK for some assistance in alleviating the problem??

I don't know of anyone calling Iowans right now.
I will check my local meetups and see if they have anything going on, and will send out a mass email.

Can someone hit ronpaulalliance.com and get the word out please??

Well, I can tell you if I received more than ONE in a single day, maybe two at MOST, I would be satisfied. any more then that and I would start to become very very annoyed. phone spam..
