Default Re: Let\'s ask Ron Paul supporters to write letters on our behalf

Non-poker playing Ron Paul supporters support our position implicitly. They also seem to have boundless energy and enthusiasm that has only limited outlets. Let's post there sometimes to get them to help us out. I'll bet we could get a whole lot of help from them.

I started a thread at www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?p=356283&posted=1#post356283. It's gotten a ton of responses, all positive (I did post that picture of Ron Paul with the pros from the Fly-In...didn't hurt, to say the least). The forum is so busy that it's hard for me to keep my thread on the front page. Please comment there, and make sure to vote the thread 5-stars. Thanks.

I agree with you on most things but this sounds manipulative to me. If I understand you, right you wish to get RP supporters to write letters in support of our issue, while PPA to the best of my knowledge as not asked there members to support Ron Paul. If PPA has backed Ron Paul I stand corrected, but I have been to there page many times and see nothing that ask members to support Ron Paul through donations or votes.

I posted this last night: "Due to the structure of the PPA, we won't be able to endorse anyone". Could I have been any clearer?

And could i be any clearer. Thia is why they are usless and dysfunctional. To be effective we need a group who can endores those that support us as other goups do. Though many causes have a group start the same way as the PPA and then branch off into another group who can support and donate money to someone, but i am sure you know all about soft money and these groups. Without something to back up our pleas I don't understand how you can think a group can effect change. PPA has nothing to offer, not votes or endorements or money.

You know as well as i do that to make things happen you have to have something to give back. What is it that PPA offers?

When i said noble work by the way i emant it. I do respect your drive in this but I also realize that writing letters that never gets read are a waste of time. The time can better be spent on those endovors that produce results. Perhaps you would consider starting a real group with real power. One that can give something back to those that stick their neck out for poker and PPA. Sign me up as long as it does not revolve around writing letters that college kids working part time open up and send back with a form letter.

I couldn't disagree more with everything you posted. It's like you're just regurgitating things you've heard from others, but you post it as if its indisputable fact.
