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 :)
