  • Go Peter GO!

  • I'm going to throw out there, that, if people aren't calling for Peter, it's because the system only makes you let 10 calls period, at least that's what I've experienced over the course of three days. Not 10 calls per day or anything like he says here. I've spent more than a few hours trying to find a way to make more calls, but I haven't found one place on the system that will let me do so. Something's wrong with the setup of the system, at least in my experience.

  • You can request more preapproved calls to be made. They'll send you a link for them in your email. I'll pm you the guy's email.

  • I'm gonna do it!

  • 10 calls...most answering machine messages. 3 'never heard of him' of which 2 were noncommittal, 1 was negative, but willing to try and find information about you. Left info concerning your website everywhere I could. Everyone was polite to me. No one was answering and then cutting me off...well, the very first guy to answer did, but there was not one to say 'no way i'd vote for schiff.'

    Btw, I didn't stick exactly to the script.

  • Actually, I'm having a problem (just wondering if anybody can help). I made 10 calls last night, and I'm trying to make my 10 calls today, but there's no button to press to make the 10 calls. I'm overseas, so maybe there's something on my computer clock which is screwing things up. Also, my connection is slow, so I'm having a hard time watching the video to see what I'm doing wrong. Help!!!

  • OK, Peter. I'm gonna give you some time each day, depending on when I'm not working.

    Heading to your site now, via your email, to sign up and start calling by noon e.s.t....after watching the vid a few more times.

    Hope that they don't mind 'southern' dialect. Many North Carolinians might would not like a heavy accent doing the same thing down here. Just a thought. 10 calls a day.....20 if I miss a day.

  • lol i'm from S Carolina, so I know what you mean. I'm going to do what I can do help Peter out. I'm broke but this 10 calls a day thing is a very good idea.

    This idea makes me know that he's got what it takes when it comes to ideas that can work!

  • I don't like the script they want us to read. It sounds like everyone else, and Peter Schiff will not 'create jobs' because the government cannot create jobs, as he himself has said. He will lose if this is the best script they can come up with. Peter, wtf?

  • I was just about to say "sign me up and I'll make some calls". Then I saw the notes about Pete advocating bombing Iran. Really? I hope not. If Pete really said that then I'm gone. I find it hard to believe he would say that though.

    Pete, please explain before you lose me as a supporter.

  • He never said he was going to blow up Iran, that is a lie.

    He said if there was an actual threat in the form of a nuclear weapons facility in Iran, instead of occupying these countries, he would just blow the facility up.

    That Peter Schiff is not a pacifist nor a neo-conservative, if anything, makes me respect him more.

  • He's hitting shit loads of townhalls, nice to see him hard at work. I think I'll donate

  • Woo Hoo! Just made 10 calls. So cool, so easy, people very receptive. Pretty much happy to hear the call. All this neocon BS is really being blown out of proportion. Think about it, for real, is a neocon really going to stop war spending? Nah! Blowitout.

  • @AtlasShruggery He's a classical liberal, not a neocon. He hates Bush and doesn't think we should be in Iraq or Afghanistan.

  • Here's a quote from Schiff:

    "We tell the Iranians: This is where we think those weapons are, you need to let our inspectors in there. If they dont let us in, just blow the place up.

    Sounds a lot like Cheney or Kristol to me.

  • He didn't mean blow Iran up--he meant blow the facility up.

    His point was that if we have to do something that's really in our security interests, we should just do it and get out of there.

    But he has on many more occasions stated that our actions and our occupations stir up a lot of the hatred toward us in the first place. He has criticized the neocon agenda many times. Just last night he talked about how many corporations have benefitted from wars at the expense of taxpayers. I was there.

  • So blowing something up in a sovereign country who has done nothing against us is protecting our security interests?

    You are aware of what America and Britain has done to that country in the past yes? So you would advocate bombing them because they don't like the fact that WE were responsible for hundreds of thousands of Iranians tortured and generations of Iranians forced to live under a dictator that WE supported?

  • No. I didn't even say anything about what I thought.

    But if you honestly think Peter is some kind of a warmonger, then I don't think you're thinking clearly.

  • Maybe you should try thinking then. Using the brain is a good thing.

    He said what he said. Sounds no differenty than dick cheney or mcain on foreign policy. That makes him a hypocrite and a neocon wannabe.

  • good. classic liberalism is dead. we could use a dose. he is also an economic libertarian and a non interventionist. That adds up to personal freedom and economic liberty, imo.....I'm going to help, if possible.

  • Schiff is a libertarian who would bring restraint to national security. He is much more trustworthy on national security than the head-in-the-sand do-nothing Dumbocrats. Schiff certainly deserves the support of those who would stand to evil tyrants like Iran.

  • Deserves support who would stand up to tyrants in Iran? A libertarian? How ignorant can you be?

  • Your website crashed Schiff, guess us supporters are hitting it hard ;p

  • I'll make some calls!

  • Not many people watched this video. Maybe you need to re post?

  • that really sucks peter, i have to better american to volunteer?

  • Go for them independents.. they'll be the ones going for you.

  • Im hoping Schiff doesnt win beause I live in Canada and make Candian dollars. If schiff were elected, he would likely influence those in charge to return to sound money and move away from the very inflation that will make MY Cdn dollar much more desirable.

    In other words, from a Canadian, if you Americans want things to get better, the only choice you have is voting for Schiff. I benefit from a lower American dollar, but for your sake, vote for him.

  • If i was able to vote in usa ........i would vote for you shiffty..........for chief washington cocksucker

  • i would gladly do it for peter, except im not american and live very far away....make this guy win people!! go schiff!

  • im in england and i vote for u Peter... Go Schiff!

  • I will help! We need all the good people we can get in washington. We're cleaning house this next election and we are putting the right people in there for America!

  • YESS!! This is a landmark move for campaigning, an epic concept. This is perfect!

  • I think I can do this

  • California, born on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood.... I'm a supporter friend!!!!!

  • I love you with all my heart but I dont believe winning two senate seats will stop this..But i will stand with you, I know the scumbag Rob Simmons is..I was one of the first to Identify him as a Neo-con..I actually worked with the Hilltop Brigade to elect Joe Courtney against him..I will promise this too you, If you cant get it done with Rand..and we dont have that kinda time but, IF you cant get it done...Then you know what that means..Much love Peter from Timothy from Narragansett...

  • 10,000 callers * 10 calls/day * 320 days left = 32 million calls / 470,000 voters = 68 calls/voter! Schiff FTW!

  • You need to slip this in on the Glenn Beck show.

  • Sounds easy, I'm in!

  • Keep track of the volunteers to ensure they don't give you a pile of "Non-receptive' callees. You'd hate like hell to get some clown posing as a Peter Schiff supporter in there calling like a mad-mad and then clicking on "non receptive' for every number they get, trashing your data base call-backs.

  • Hit the local radio stations. Get out there to every public event you can. Meet and greet.

  • I owe Peter something for the videos he puts up on youtube every day. I think i'll sign up, and of course use google voice to make free calls. How hard can it be to read off a script anyway.

  • To reiterate what Peter said:

    Do not debate the issues. Tell the voters who he is and what his website is.

    All of you: if you are reading this, you should be partaking in this project.

  • i dont think europeans can participate?

  • peter... not all subscribers are based in the US.

  • Ya he really should fix his site so it allows foreign volunteers to get on the social network and access the database. VoIP solutions make it very possible for international supporters to get involved if they wish.

    Maybe he doesn't prefer that though...

  • Peter!

  • really great idea

  • Peter, you are the man! Beautiful idea! I live in NJ but I will be making calls for you DAILY!

    Also, to those planning on making calls, be sure to mention that Peter does these weekly video blogs and if they want to understand what Peter is all about there are all these videos that they can watch that are CANDID and not scripted by a producer. Peter IS THE producer!

  • He's got a weekly broadcast also that I subscribe to on I tunes. I listen to him at work on I pod.

  • Peter, as a Canadian I can't think a better way to support you than to make some calls on Skype. I don't agree with all of your policies, but I definitely think you're needed in that senate seat.

  • That's the spirit :D

  • IMPORTANT

    Some potential voters will look up Peter Schiff on Youtube.

    Since there are some videos that trash Peter, there must be responses to each of those videos that defend Peter.

  • Peter before I start making calls I would like to know you position on immigration. Are you for less government control of the border or more?

  • do not get into the issues, just talk about me and refer them to my web site

  • I wasn't planning to mention the issues. I just wanted to know your position for my own peace of mind.

  • Peter has stated before he is against illegal immigration. He hasn't gone into the details but you should call into his radio show tonight and ask him.

  • I live in England but right now I wish I were a resident of Connecticut I would really give Peter some support In fact it is going to be a real injustice if Peter doesn't get the help that's required *GET DIALLING PEOPLE! * GOOD LUCK Peter.

  • Same here, I donated $100 to the exploratory group that convinced schiff to run.

    Since then, there has been little overseas fans can do to help :(

  • interesting idea, however I've always been bad at speaking with people or explaining things. i had a job once where i had to do calling and setting up appointments and reading scripts... that didn't last long

  • love your clarity! just signed up... will be making calls for you ... should be fun... finally someone i can get behind

  • Do it Peter!

    Greets from Berlin.

  • Im excited, its a shame that im not an american

  • Go Peter Go. Much love and good luck from Ireland!

  • I'm another Schiff fan from Northern Ireland. YEOO!!! Go Peter

  • I am ready to Dial!

  • Im from oregon, ive been watching ur posts for a while, i realy hope u win. We need u in there no matter what state ur from. How can i help over here.

  • Anyone can phone bank! From any state ;)

  • Awesome, i'm going to sign up to make calls! This is so important!

  • i LOOOOOOVE this concept :)

  • expat living in Switzerland.

    Great concept with the evolving db aproach.

    P.

  • 275 votes, but only 562 views?

  • 9 PM IS THE CUT OFF!

  • Send this video to everyone you know! :)

  • Any way to help from overseas??

  • get an endorsement from Ron Paul use his fanbase aswell offcourse with his permission

  • if you win you better not let it go to your head..

  • I'm belgian and I live in Belgium. Can I help?

  • Same problem...Switzerland.

  • You can pick a country when you click on volunteer so i think you should be fine...

  • ah... damn it its county not country...

    O well

  • princeofexcess? more like prince-of-excuses!

  • did you read the comment im replying too?

  • @princeofexcess to be honest, not really. I mostly posted that comment cause when I thought of "prince-of-excuses" I couldn't stop laughing (what? I love puns... don't judge me!)

  • what does it say when you go on the website??

  • "A postal code must be provided.

    You must provide your county."

    Can't choose foregin country

  • Umm, what are his political postions? I'm on the site, and I dont see any Issues button or notin, like, I know he's a fan of ron paul, and I've seen the "Peter Schiff was Right" video, and that was enugh for me.

    But I dont know were he stands on say the war on drugs, my guess is, he's agenst it, but If I call somone and they ask his views on the drug war, or affganistan, I wont have an ansrew

  • It should be up later today

  • I think if you make too many calls, people might be pissed at you. Especially over the holiday season. Be careful.

  • If I was an American citizen I would have volunteered

  • Me too.....I live in the UK and I agree with Peters position on the economy. Peter Schiff FTW!!!!!!!!!

  • go go go go go go go go peter schifff

    we can stop new world order !!!!!!!!

  • Please, spread this video!

    Let´s get the right people to senate!

    Let´s get the senate back to people!

    Get active!

  • Good luck with the senate race! We need to stabilize this boat before it sinks.

  • Shared & aired.

  • what if your opponents go to your site, and click all wrong numbers? How do you distinguish your supporters from your opponents? Isn't this a very risky strategy?

  • We're gonna do this Peter!!!

    You and Ron Paul need to be running the government of that county!

    And staying out of peoples lives!

    Good luck my friend.

  • Hopefully you have a plan to negate fraud.

  • Wont a gold based currency just empower the Gold owners?

  • And won't that be grand.

    Currency with value, not YouOweUs notes as we currently trade.

  • @BeingInTheMessiah, no it won´t. Gold will empower everyone over time because it creates a real sustainable economy. Gold is to a free market economy as traffic laws are to the transport system; as alphabet laws are to language; as dietary laws are to health; as the Rights of Man (Rule of Law) are to society; as natural laws are to nature.

  • @BeingInTheMessiah, ........I like to think of these as the common denominator or regulator within that particular system that allows it to function in a more balanced manner creating stability, order and real growth and development.

  • I watch your videos faithfully every day. And Wall Street Unspun every week. And read all your books.

    But I'm not American.

    How can I help?

  • Same thing im wondering.

    Great video btw.

  • I'll be calling for you from VA!

  • man this is confusing.

    why dont peter just post a list of how to do it so everyone can figure it out themselves.

  • Go!

  • Peter, I think another very powerful way to reach others is to try to get your videos to go viral on FaceBook. By folks adding a link to one of your youtube videos on their FaeBook feed (it is very easy to do), new folks will be able to easily see you and discover you and see what you stand for. And this recommendation coming from a trusted friend on FaceBook will go very far. Maybe you could post a video about how to do this as well...

  • I agree with alphabeets, Mr. Schiff.

    Political reps calling people get the same treatment as telemarketers. It's better to use a non-intrusive, innovative method of reaching out. Facebook is a great way to go (especially since much of your supporters are talented youth who dominate FB).

    Also, don't count on your channel subscriptions as a representative of Connecticut supporters. For example, I live in Canada ;)

  • We're pulling for you out here in the Midwest, Peter. Keep up the great work.

  • you got my backing in Indiana Peter!

  • great idea. i'm from austria so i cant donate to the campaign and obviously cant dial people in connecticut, but i'd sure like to. anyway, i do what i can and quite a few people among my friend and relatives are beginning to learn the advantages of sound money and freedom of government. also i donate to the campaigns and organisations i can. if we all do our part this world will be a more liveable place very soon

  • Visit Skype (dot) com, you can find a great piece of software there that lets you make voice over IP calls... all you need is a few bucks, a mic, and speakers (or a headset is best). Load up some funds and start calling. $0.02 per minute pretty much to everyone on the globe.

  • be careful letting people speak for you Peter.

  • They are not speaking for me they are speaking about me.

  • I understand that Mr. Schiff. It just kind of bothers me that there are people who hacked your website with the intention of sabotaging your campaign can now have access to a phone list sponsored by your campaign.

  • Can't your opponents use this easy to sign up and defame you? Or screw with your database. Like the hackers before?

  • @fluff125 good point. this could certainly backfire.

  • is it okay to call if I'm not living in CT? (I split time b/w DC and NYC). If they ask if I live in CT, how should I respond?

  • I don't think opponents really need a list to badmouth Peter. They could probably just come up with their own list and say they're part of Peter's campaign. Furthermore, at this point, I doubt they want to inform people about who Peter Schiff is.

    As for people altering the data we take in, yes, that should be closely monitored. I imagine this has been considered and those involved with managing the list are prepared for misuse of it.

  • To anyone who does not live in CT, here is my suggestion:

    If the caller asks if you live in CT, say no, but also mention that you feel that CT has the opportunity that pretty much no other state has. Tell them you were inspired by Schiff and wanted to help in any way possible. It's also probobly good to stress that you are volunteering, and that Peter is not paying you. This is important because it shows that you really are inspired, as most campaigns have to pay their workers. Good luck!

  • I really wish Peter would push issues on his website. What if someone wants to know what he believes about term limits etc. and the site doesn't say? Not good.

  • I added some issues today but unfortunately the web guys did not update the site yet.

  • I am a Chinese, how can I vote for Peter?

  • Wish we could. Only people who live in Connecticut can. FYI if our governments ever go to war many citizens including myself would resent that. Godspeed

  • Schiff never ceases to impress.

  • I want to donate but i am a non-American!!

  • rosewood223 - I believe you still can

  • if you are a legal resident in america you can donate and make calls, etc. you just can't vote.

  • Not just raise his name recognition within the republicans, just spawn more republicans :)

  • It would be good if we could clone Schiffys brain

  • You got it, I'm making 10 calls every day.

  • I'm making 50

  • Here comes REAL grassroots change!

  • Peter, if you don't want people to call after 9PM eastern time, then just program your website not to serve up numbers after that time!

  • @iamacyborg

    Maybe they want to write down the numbers to make calls from their car the next day on their way to work.

  • but then they couldn't record the result online.

  • called 20 people today!

  • @audioX1 , so howd it go

  • Do you have to live in Connecticut to volunteer?

  • nope!

  • Count me in.  Im ready to win

  • God I hope Peter wins!

  • Google Voice is another option. Free to call land lines in the US.

  • Hm this is a good idea, but if anyone can sign up, can't someone from Schiff's opponent camp do this, and bad mouth peter? Maybe I'm just being pessimistic.

  • @siasina other supporters arent as passionate as we are.

  • yea they can do that..but a true grass movement will have to over power the dollar machine.

  • potential problem i see with this idea. people who dont want peter to be elected will get the numbers of the voters and call them too, they will harass the people over the phone while pretending to be a schiff supporter. peter schiff and his supporters will be blamed for the harassment

  • Good point about anyone being able to make calls (and possibly sabotage the campaign). How would anyone know? That could end up being a very embarrassing news story if the campaign isn't careful about this. Hopefully this has been thought of. Phone banks aren't new but making them so easily available might be.

  • Hey, let's be positive. Call the people, read the script, get them to You tube, they'll get "Schiffed". Case closed, he's in.

  • It's unlikely. They don't need his list for that, they have their own. If they wanted to bad mouth Peter they wouldn't do it call by call, they'd just go on TV lmao.

  • im on the schiffforsenate website right now im not finding any of this, how do i use this

  • Click volunteer, log in, and you should see make calls on your dashboard!

  • The General's first order to the Schiff Army, get the word out.

  • why the hell does this lights chick keep comin up on schiffs videos?!?!?

  • Get "Magic Jack" for about $20/year unlimited free long distance calling, works great with cable modem.

    Free weekend calling on most cell phones.

    What about people on the "no call" list??

  • Sounds like a plan Mr. Schiff.

  • Can someone answer this question??

    On the script what do you say to them if they say they would be interested in putting up a yard sign? Do campaigns give out yard signs for free?

  • Say the campaign will be contact with you about a sign

  • I'm spamming this message on all vids I see:

    "Hey,

    Man the phones and make calls for Peter Schiff to increase his chances to be a senator. Get Skype if you live in other states or other countries.

    news clip about Palestinians making calls to elect Obama:

    watch?v=21YF7ggCG6g

    Schiff on volunteer for phonebanks

    watch?v=0iChlGwVCfs"

  • I hope you win Peter! For the sake of humanity.

  • The world needs Peter Schiff.

  • This is awesome! I will gladly volunteer for you Peter!

  • I'm on winter break now. I'll defiantly have time to help you now Peter.

  • I donated in July & I live in NV. Hopefully, Dirty Harry will also be ousted.

  • Very easy. I could...

  • unfortunately, i live in canada. I would really like to contribute to that campain even if i m not an american

  • Consider using Skype...

  • unfortunate for america, not you.

  • Where Do I get my Schiff bumper stickers? If anyone cares, I have a giant white cargo van(no lettering) 2008- Free add space for Mr Schiff if needed :)
