101 ways to misinterpret a letter February 9, 2008

You can certainly go to Ron Paul Forums right now and get dizzy with insanity. I feel like Im reading Cybil’s diary. Last night after receiving a letter from Ron Paul there were HUNDREDS of people flocking to the forums to post their interpretations of his words, with 80% of them having this dejected “OH MY GOD ITS OVER” attitude. But here is my interpretation of his letter…..

February 8, 2008

Whoa! What a year this has been. And what achievements we have had. If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November.

(roxi says: this campaign has far exceeded my expectations and I am in it til the end)

It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked. Not because of me, but because of you. Millions of Americans — and friends in many other countries — have dedicated themselves to the principles of liberty: to free enterprise, limited government, sound money, no income tax, and peace. We will not falter so long as there is one restriction on our persons, our property, our civil liberties. How much I owe you. I can never possibly repay your generous donations, hard work, whole-hearted dedication and love of freedom. How blessed I am to be associated with you. Carol, of course, sends her love as well.

(Roxi says: we have been discussing this at home and wondering what our chances are, and we have decided no matter what we won’t let our supporters down)

Let me tell you my thoughts. With Romney gone, the chances of a brokered convention are nearly zero.

(Roxi says: I have to sound dejected so everyone thinks I don’t feel like I have a chance of winning)

But that does not affect my determination to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the convention for our ideas, with just as many delegates as I can get.

(Roxi says: Keep showing up at the caucuses we need delegates now more than ever)

But with so many primaries and caucuses now over, we do not now need so big a national campaign staff, and so I am making it leaner and tighter.

(Roxi says: I have realized that a percentage of my staff is incompetent, and wasting too much of your money so im cleaning house)

Of course, I am committed to fighting for our ideas within the Republican party, so there will be no third party run. I do not denigrate third parties — just the opposite, and I have long worked to remove the ballot-access restrictions on them. But I am a Republican, and I will remain a Republican.

(Roxi says: SEE i am loyal to the GOP, and will fight for the prosperity of the party no matter what)

I also have another priority. I have constituents in my home district that I must serve. I cannot and will not let them down. And I have another battle I must face here as well. If I were to lose the primary for my congressional seat, all our opponents would react with glee, and pretend it was a rejection of our ideas. I cannot and will not let that happen.

(Roxi says: I have made a promise to my supporters to do what it takes to fight for liberty and i will not let them down, so i will be running for both positions)

In the presidential race and the congressional race, I need your support, as always.

(Roxi says: KEEP donating money to both of my causes because a win in either outlet means a win for liberty)

And I have plans to continue fighting for our ideas in politics and education that I will share with you when I can, for I will need you at my side. In the meantime, onward and upward! The neocons, the warmongers, the socialists, the advocates of inflation will be hearing much from you and me.

(Roxi says: no matter what happens we are fighting a cause not a specific election so if you give up you have worked hard for nothing, don’t let the neocons win)

Sincerely,

Ron

NOW heres what needs to happen

everyone needs to quit being whiny crybabies and ban together for a mission, we can still get Ron elected but we are going to have to work as a team to do so. the only important thing right now is signing up as a precinct leader and calling the people on your list to show up at the caucus. and the following is an excerpt from a post on the forums from someone who hasn’t lost their mind:

1st. Do NOT wear any RP gear to caucus.

2nd. Use the Straw Poll as your gauge as to what to do next in your caucus. If it’s the 1st thing they do before delegate elections…great! If not, make a motion to have it 1st so if people want to leave they can. RP people will stay, for they are educated, the other’s will leave, leaving RP people to take all the delegate seats.

3rd. If the Straw Poll comes in strong for anyone other than RP, fly under the radar. If asked who is your candidate, hem and haw around and say something like: since Romney dropped out, I don’t know. Then they will still vote for YOU to be a delegate.

4th. If they then ask you why you want to be a delegate say things Republican like: I’m new to the party, liked Reagan, and I feel becoming a delegate is the best way for me to learn the system of the Party. OR I’m conservatie and I want to vote for the best candidate that can beat the Democrats!

6th. If people already know you are a RP supporter from other sources (canvassing, etc) STILL be Republican (help out with the caucus by volunteering for secretary or teller committee) but make a motion for a secret ballot for the delegate vote.

7th. Take along a stack of index cards (for use as secret ballots) and extra pens. Then the secret ballot will be easy.

this is very good advice and we need to all show up at the caucuses and conventions with bells on

Keeping perspective February 6, 2008

The results are coming in and at first glance it seems discouraging. Im sure all over the world Ron Pauls supporters, their friends and families are saying one of two things: “what the hell happened” and “I told you so” What everyone needs to do is take a deep breath and remember a few things. First off these results are good. Even though it seems as though Ron Paul is coming in last, the popular votes mean NOTHING. Most of these Super Tuesday states are winner take all. What that means is if ONE candidate wins with 51% of the votes then the delegates are legally bound to vote for that winner. If no one candidate takes 51% then it becomes a brokered convention. With there being three virtual “frontrunners” there is no chance of any of the candidates taking that required 51%. Let me repeat THERE IS NO CHANCE OF ANY ONE CANDIDATE TAKING 51%. What does that mean you say? Let me break it down as simply as possible. Take Missouri for example. The Missouri caucuses are March 15th. Over a month away. On March 15th registered voters can show up at their county caucus locations to show their support for their candidate. Because there was no 51% winner then those voters are able to vote for any candidate they want. There is not much of a turnout at these caucuses. Only hard core GOP party members show up for the caucus and those numbers are not high. SO if 100 people show up at my county caucus in webster county, and 75 of us are Ron Paul supporters then we get ALL 15 OF WEBSTER COUNTIES DELEGATES. Same for each county. we can still win this election. All that needs to be done is for each and every Ron Paul supporter to show up at their county caucus. Thats it. JUST SHOW UP. at that point the real election results will be decided. The mainstream media is doing their best at brainwashing americans into believing that John McCain and Hillary are the nominees after tonight BUT THIS IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE!

Ron Paul has a lot of money. He also has a lot of support. BUT its going to take more than money and support. GET on the phone. call your friends, ask them to come to the caucus to vote for YOU as delegate. call the voters in your county, find out which ones voted for ron paul. if those people will show up at the caucus for you then he will win. Or you can sit back and cry and whine that what you did wasn’t good enough and watch our country be ruled by neocons for at least 4 more years.

The Revolution Continues!!!

McCain Breaks His Own Rules February 5, 2008

** State Leader of Paul Campaign File Complaint Against McCain’s Telemarketing Abuses**

“McCain inflicted campaign reform on us, he ought to follow the rules he created”

Oklahoma City – Kirk Shelley Oklahoma State Coordinator of Ron Paul Presidential campaign filed a formal complaint about John McCain’s illegal robo-calling with the Oklahoma Attorney General.

Kirk Shelley expressed his frustration with McCain’s calls.

“Everyone knows the rules on these calls, or they should” said Shelley, “when you run for President or work in federal campaigns you get attorneys to tell you what you can and can not do – calling non-supporters without a phone number to stop the calls is illegal.”

“Anyone who pays attention to politics in Oklahoma knows that Tim Pope was indicted by Drew Edmondson for this same thing. The McCain campaign or their telemarketing people sure should have known better.”

Shelley continued “the bigger picture to me is this – Sen. McCain has set himself up as leader for campaign reform by authoring ‘McCain-Feingold’ telling the rest of the country the rules he thinks we should follow, yet here he is violating those very rules he helped create. If you are going to create laws limiting the free speech rights of other Americans at least have the integrity to follow them yourself.”

The copies of the illegal calls can be found here: http://www.ronpaultulsa.com/McRobo1.mp3 and http://www.ronpaultulsa.com/McRobo2.mp3

I have sent copies of the illegal calls go to the Attorney General and I’m confident he will prosecute with the same diligence that he went after Tim Pope, and I hope the voters remember that the author of ‘so-called campaign reform’ broke his own rules.
