Smart Video Activism for Ron Paul
A Ron Paul supporter makes a creative video about his response to a fundraising letter sent from Mitt Romney–along with his birthday tribute for the money bomb. Notice the natural way in which he engages his audience. He brings you directly into his world. He’s being himself–something many of us should take to heart.
(Yes, there’s a money bomb going on tonight looking to raise 1.5 million!)
Rather than blasting music at you and showing photos of Ron Paul swimming with his grandchildren (couldn’t resist!)
…he’s talking about something that really happened. This video might not get a million views, but it will have a meaningful impact on his friends and family, unlike the typical fan video.
Stepping back, think about the way you post online since you’ve gone coo coo for cocoa puffs for Ron Paul. Have you alienated the very people you want to persuade? It wouldn’t hurt to post about the latest band you’ve seen perform or that storm outside your window and the lightning that nearly struck your car. Your goal should be to integrate enthusiasm for the liberty movement into your social life in a natural and organic way. The worst example of not understanding this concept is when you see people threatening on facebook to unfriend anyone who disagrees with them. What’s the goal here? To become an echo chamber?
Be yourself. Or at least try to fake it!

Great video. I like the simple approach, yet meaningful dialogue explain the difference between Dr Paul and Mitt Romney.
I looked into his home run and couldn’t find much. He did hit what I think is still the only over-the-fence home run, but I think it was back in the 80s.
