Teaching Pigs To Sing We are wasting time arguing on the comments sections of articles when we should be out spreading the message of Dr. Paul and Freedomby Big Louie

"Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig" -Unknown
While I do take the time to write an article everyday, I don't waste my time filling up comment pages and arguing with the extreme anti-Ron Paul crowd. I will never be able to convince them that I am correct and my time is much better spent educating the people who do not know about Dr. Paul and his stances on the Issues. I would guess that 1/2 of all people to whom I mention Dr. Paul for the first time, do NOT even know who he is.
If each Dr. Paul supporter would commit to getting 5 more people, who have not heard of Dr. Paul, informed of his positions and brought into the Revolution, we would win by a landslide. The funny thing is, and I am sure that you have noticed, once people learn about Dr. Paul from an informed supporter, they tend to become Dr. Paul supporters themselves.
Could you imagine if 2 of the 5 new supporters gave a donation on New Years Eve, we would raise an additional $12 MILLION DOLLARS! That is CRAZY! Wanna know what's insane?
NOT DOING IT!! WASTING YOUR TIME REPLYING TO THE ANTI-PAUL CROWD!!
Every morning, I spend my time over breakfast sorting through my list of news journals on the web for information to write about. While I am doing this, I save 10-12 pieces of news about the Presidential Elections that I find very informative. Of these, I send the 5 very best to my friends, also Ron Paul supporters, so that they too can stay current on the issues.
At the end of the day, I challenge them, and vice versa, on how many "new" Ron Paul Supporters we have garnered. That is my purpose for writing these blogs. I want to educate the uninformed and to motivate the FAIR WEATHER PATRIOTS.
It also motivates me when I see the fruits of my labor. The person to whom I have spoken that becomes a more avid supporter than I. Very few of us have quit our jobs and moved to a primary state, as a volunteer, to help Dr. Paul win the election. It's hard to imagine that it would be so difficult to speak to your co-workers or the waitress at the cafe about Dr. Paul. I literally do it to every person that I meet.
At Walmart, when I am checking out, I always answer their question of "How are you today" with " I am doing great because it looks like Ron Paul will win the election" More times than not, they reply "Who is Ron Paul?" Of course, I just say "Well, are you tired of all the taxes coming out of your check? Are you tired of the government intruding into your life? Are you tired of the war? Then he is the only guy we can elect who will fix all that."
Now comes the tricky part. You must have something to hand them. Whether it is something fancy or just a piece of paper, it must have the following web address on it.
I also give them a "throwaway" email address that I have to answer all their questions when they are not at work.
There is no need to go any farther. 90% of all my contacts are made that way. You do not need to spend an hour trying to deliver a Ron Paul soliloquy, because that is what it will become. If they have questions, they will contact you.
We are always being asked to pledge money, but this pledge costs nothing. Not only that, this pledge is the only way we will win
First, Place your right hand over you heart
Now, Repeat after me
I, State your name, Pledge to do my part for the revolution. By the 31st of December, 2007, I will personally recruit 5 more people to the Ron Paul Revolution.
See how easy that is?
By the way, that saying I quoted at the beginning of the article was hanging in my Father's office for many years and he would always finish it with ".....and you both get dirty"
Just something to think about

Thanks for a great article, I missed it when it first came out but greatly enjoyed it today, and it encouraged me to follow your example. Excellent "nuts and bolts how-to" there! :)
As for the "unknown" quote, it immediately reminded me of Robert A. Heinlein, renowned science fiction author.
