Politics, Programming and Possibilities
30 May
I’ve been thinking about this question for a while: If I really believe
Ron Paul is the best man for the job, how do I help him become the next president of the United States?
Blogging about him is a little helpful, I think, but it’s mostly preaching to the choir (at least, most of his grassroot support has been brought together by the internet, so I assume you supporters are out here, reading my blog, just as I’ve read yours). So, blogging is great, but what else can I do? Here’s what I’ve thought of so far:
1. Donate. Dr. Paul made an appeal for funds during his interview with Bill Maher (he noted that “money talks”). I’ll be making an announcement regarding this aspect soon.
2. Become a Republican Delegate. “Before Ron Paul can get elected, he has to be nominated by delegates at the Republican National Convention which will take place in St. Paul, Minnesota. September 1-4, 2008.”
3. Meet up. Small or medium-sized groups can do a great deal when working together. Provo has a half-dozen or so “would-be” members of such a group. I’m considering sponsoring the group (meetup requires money to form a group).
4. Represent Ron Paul Well. There are a number of reasons why we might feel justified in participating in angry outbursts of extreme activism. There is a lot of anger in America right now, on all sides. But as a representative of the good things in Dr. Paul, we must meet violence with peace, and anger with understanding. If Dr. Paul is represented well, for the good man that he is, the good people of this land will be attracted to him.
Good luck, and God bless!

Thanks for the thought-out advice!
Great simple advice - I didn’t even pay for the meetup thing - but through it I was able to get the name of another guy in my town - looked his name up on the internet - so happens that he is a film maker (commercials) - we got together fri night and made a table for the local farmers market in Bloomington IN - I’d like to spread this idea. We didn’t need permision in our town–very easy to set up a table w/ flyers/buttons - we even had a laptop w/ video clips and headphones…check out the video we made here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIpGo2RsGhI - I wanna see you at the farmers market…in your town!
Sweet! Thanks, Aaron. I will definitely have to do that come July when our market opens up.
