I tried this yesterday but was quickly circled by the "mole Patrol" and figured that people are
are not very serious about the mission.

Otherwise they would be recruiting as fast and furiously as possible because the time is very limited
and the organization of we the people is lacking.

This board should have already been set up with Action topics. I signed up in March but I was totally
unaware of the forum otherwise this would have already been done.


The groups totals are now over 101 groups. This board needs cleaned up and organized to be effective

Flo are you on facebook? Joseph Lanzendorfer has set up a page called "OPERATION: REPUBLICAN CAUCUS STORM" where we will be coordinating campaign efforts by our respective states.

Since this site is what Justine chose as the place to communicate, please direct the facebook campaign to here. It's hard to remember multiple sites for various topics -- indicative of bad organizing.

Should have chosen my words more carefully. Typing in frustration isn't a good thing. Ignore what I said, but please keep announcing efforts on other sites here. I think it's still best to consolidate all efforts here so it minimizes the confusion/effort that people have to make to help out. Even for me, it can be tiring and make me put off some efforts because I have to jump between too many sites.
Information overload ...

Done. 70%!!!

I agree about the websites. All communication must be through ONE CENTRAL BOARD. If state websites are started (good idea), they should be part of this board. There are so many boards, I have no way of knowing where they are, and it's not good to overload and confuse. I wnato to come to ONE URL for the Ron Paul campaign, not 10 or 20.

All discussion should take place on the official Ron Paul 2008 website (assuming that it has that capability). We should also be sharing ideas on how to have a successful 'meetup' meeting. Some of us may be novice's!

Please take a minute to go and sign this petition:

A Petition for Fair and Equal Treatment in the Media of Dr Ron Paul's Presidential Election Campaign

WHEREAS Congressman Ron Paul has shown based upon the first two debate sponsors' own polling data that he is the true frontrunner for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in 2008, and...

WHEREAS MSNBC's own website contains proof via their own post-debate polling that Dr. Paul won the first debate in San Diego on 5-3-07 handily, and WHEREAS Fox News's own call-in polls during and after their sponsored 5-15-07 debate showed that Ron Paul came in a close second at this debate in South Carolina, and WHEREAS an ABC poll showed Dr. Paul as the Republican favorite of over 80% of those participating, and...

WHEREAS this type of performance for someone who was considered a "dark horse" or "third tier" candidate by the major media prior to those achievements would normally merit extraordinary positive coverage by the major media of all types (print, etlectronic, television, radio, etc.) including talk of a "phenomenal breakthrough" in the Congressman's campaign, and...

WHEREAS the mainstream media has not only failed to report the facts of Dr. Paul's amazing campaign successes to date, but have continued to denigrate the candidate, to downgrade his prospects for success, and to mischaracterize what Dr. Paul has said and what he stands for. And WHEREAS there is an obvious attempt currently underway in the mainstream media to undermine Dr. Paul's campaign with biased and dishonest reporting and to influence the public perception of the candidate with misleading, and sometimes blatantly false information--examples of which are too numerous to recount in detail here--now then, it is incumbent upon all Americans who truly honor the democratic process and take seriously their allegiance to the United States Constitution to demand that the major media outlets of this nation do their duty to fairly and accurately report the news and to support the democratic process by treating all candidates equally, accurately and with equal respect.

The undersigned hereby demand that from this point forward Dr. Paul be given the status that he has earned of being referred to as a "first-tier candidate" in the reporting done by all named television news agencies, that he be issued a public apology for the aggregious acts of slander, disrespect and false reporting to which he has thus far been submitted, and that he be given equal time and equal treatment in all future Republican debates with the candidates that were previously annointed as the "Republican frontrunners" by the same named news agencies.

Finally, should the named news agencies continue to slander, mischaracterize, and denigrate Dr. Paul and to continue to under-report or hide the true results of their own polling data to this point and from this point, the undersigned will call upon their Congressional representatives for Special Joint Hearings to be done well before the Republican primiray season begins with regard to these matters, such hearings to take place within the United States Congress and to be of sufficient scope and duration to ascertain proper remedies to the damage that has already been done as a result of the actions of the named news agencies to the democratic process.

Given under our hand on this day,

The undersigned....
