Ron Paul Iowa Chairman - Drew Ivers

[2quik4un00b]

stop fighting on youtube xD

18 - F - Cali - Alone - Anyone wanna chat? 7F

[bradwjensen]

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich!!

[mtlica86]

i'd take a bullet for ron paul, but seriously? a logarithmic curve is not "exponential" as Ivers describes. logarithmics start out strong and reach an asymptote.

what he describes is completely opposite of reality. but the ron paul revolution beings now.

[DRp350]

WHen Ron Paul comes to Oklahoma, you can expect me to help wherever needed. No Matter what, I will Boycott The 2008 election if he does not get on the ballot.

[voytechs]

Awesome job guys in IA. Beat Rody, came in within 3 points of Thopson and McCain. A solid 10%, shows we're completely viable and the donations the day after IA, showed this. 1,300 brand new donors to the campaign!!! Yeah!!

[LordRedSnake]

Why is there the sound of constant conversation going on in the background? Pretty disrespectful of Ron Paul supporters to talk while this guy is giving a speech. That's something I experienced with numbskulls in high school and college, but I expect better from you guys.

[picassolama]

The constant conversations you hear were people on the phones calling Iowans to support Ron Paul. Just because there was a debate on TV, and the state director was speaking, the work did not stop. I hope the director in your state is as steadfast as Dr. Drew Ivers was in Iowa.

[abkinxoc]

looks like we lost the battle of iowa. faulty leadership. Thanks for nothing iowa.

[picassolama]

Give me a frick'in break. We worked our butts off in Iowa...we've been working our butts off since June. No, we didn't do as well as we wanted, but it doesn't mean the leadership was poor. There's over 100 comments on this vid and all of them positive, till now.

[abkinxoc]

Good leaders don't give excuses for themselves. Good leaders don't whine when they let their cause down.

[abkinxoc]

Of course the comments are positive, this is a ron paul video. I mean no offence, but you guys could have won this thing for us. If he loses, then a large part of it will because of the loss of the battle of Iowa. But it's ok, even jefferson lost his county to the british. Well take up the fight from here ladies.

[picassolama]

I'm doubting you're a true Ron Paul supporter. The fight is tough, and will take many battles before it's done. We achieved more in Iowa than Ron Paul himself thought possible. We took him into double digits, we won a county (something Thompson and McCain didn't do), we have several delegates going to the county conventions, and we secured his spot in the next debates. Dr. Paul was grateful and thankful for what we did.

[picassolama]

btw...what state are you in? I am looking foward to congratulating you when your fellow Paulistas give Ron Paul the victory he so deservingly needs.

[zhu511]

The founders intended congress to be the most dominant branch of the federal government, only few presidents like Jackson, and Lincoln has overpowered congress at key points. After Wilson and FDR (WWI and WWII) the idea of the role of the president changed. It is wrong for a single man to be over influential, and Ron Paul is running as an honest man for the way our federal government should be ran.

[Toota95]

Last night, my Springfield, MA Meetup Group phoned Iowans and polled for Ron Paul using Advokit. It was great!

[unloud]

THANK YOU for this!

GO RON GO!

[sLeepPastNooN]

Go Iowa Go!!! I'm going to work early so I can be free to park in front the TV and PC to watch and share in your success!

[momerath42]

Thank you, Iowa people (Iowans?)! You represent the most power-per-person force for good in america today. Sprint for the finish and show us in the rest of the country how it is done!

[abkinxoc]

Yeah, they did a good job of that. (/sarcasm)

[votetheronpaul]

Let's go Iowa! Prove the pundits wrong!

[picassolama]

I would like to thank everyone who has commented with their support for Iowa. We are working to the end for Dr. Paul, and will continue the fight after the caucuses. Again...thank you all!

GO RON PAUL!!

[wis4rp]

I love that 'logarithmic curve' description, because I feel that's what is happening, and that gives me hope, whether RP wins or not, the 'structure' of this movement will restore our rights, it will just take time and determination.

[felixbaumg9]

NICE

Ron Paul is coming..

America's only Hope

[hankpyro]

The guy with the spiked hair: a picture is worth a thousand words. I have never seen anything like this. Never. This campaign has drawn in more diversity than any movement I have ever seen.

[rpm247]

Thank you for posting this. Georgia wish Iowa the best R3VOLution EVER. Go Ron Paul. We are with you 110%!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CoolaCreations]

Go Iowa Go! We'll be rooting for you guys!

[squeezetruck]

You're going God's work.

[rundoetx]

5 Star,keeo up the good fight. This is the most important election of our adult lives.

Free Hugs From TX

RundoeTX

[jdawgwelling]

I registered today in Iowa. I'm going to the Caucus. Let's get it done people. This is our country, and Ron Paul believes it's our country. Need we say more? No. Need we do more? That's for you to decide... But this Iowan said to himself, "I need to do more."

[mbrebstock]

its really a great video

[InTheSticks1881]

Excellent!

[electric789]

nice, makes me even more proud to be a Paul supporter.

[goseegoose]

thanks. knock it out of the park iowa.

[andrewmarkovic]

heck yea people !!! now get out there and DO something!!! Ron paul 2008!

[RangerKozak]

God speed.

[steveinamerica]

wow this is a really good video!

[breakfastisready]

LATEST IOWA REPUBLICAN POLL -

Huckabee - 39%

Romney - 23

Guliani - 8

Thompson - 8

McCain - 6

Paul - 5

source - Rasmussenreports dot com

ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING DIFFERENT !!!!!!

- THX

[J1Goro]

Other than the fact that polls are lies?

[breakfastisready]

If I was supporting Paul I guess I wouldn't want to believe the polls either.

But rasmussen has been the most accurate over the last several election cycles.

[zappatx]

Excuse me but the poll is a phoned one to past republican voters. Does not include the new and changed over voters who dwarf the total # of people who showed up last year to the caucus. 70,000 meet-up groups with an average of 35 people in each group doesnt lie. Wake up newspaper Koolaid drinkers!

[breakfastisready]

28% of the people polled were first time voters!!!!

And it was a caucus poll from the registrations - not from past republican voters.

And they polled 650 people. Not 35.

BTW - random phone calls eliminates problems such as "paid" voters and people mysteriously being bused in.

Your comment was asanine.

[zappatx]

Random phone calls are against the law.

new registration information is not available and violated a particular act. You dont have that information plain and simple.

Besides I never met anyone here liking Huck -

They polled 650 people on geritol.

[breakfastisready]

look at the bottom notes from the poll at rasmussenreports dot com.

It is exactly what they say.

I look forward to your apology.....

[zappatx]

Well a CBS report who hates Ron Paul now reports tonight locked in at 3rd place!!

My letters and phone calls are working. You simply fear that we (paul campaign)are getting an equal number of voters to the caucus that the entire total for the 1996 primary! It's soooooo exciting!

[breakfastisready]

That's interesting....

I just looked at that CBS/Poll and Ron Paul is barely mentioned...

Romney 27%

Huckabee 21

Guiliani 15

Thompson 9

and all other candidates were in single digits.

What poll are you talking about??

[zappatx]

Katie Couric's show plus the article plus all onter AP reports that pick it up.. Just look at the video above..

Keep drinking the Koolaid bubba!

[breakfastisready]

I looked at the poll at the cbs site.

I think you are drinking something, not I.

And suddenly you believe the major media now ?

hilarious.

[J1Goro]

Did this poll account for cell phones?

Dinosaur media seem to be way behind technology as pollers only call land lines. I've never been polled.

[J1Goro]

ABC/WP have Huckabee at 35% Romney at 27%? laughable Thompson at 9%? lmao and Paul and McCain at 8% eack. Come on these polls are laughable.

[kryptman40k]

mohawks for ron paul!

[gehennaspawn]

His failure to understand the difference between exponential, logarithmic, and multiplicative aside....

This is a great video. : )

[zappatx]

This video NEEDS to be televised!! Please - someone get the campaign to put it on the air.

[Cometgreen]

After watching this, I'm far more excited about the days following Christmas than Christmas itself. Screw gifts and family bonding - give me a Paul surge in Iowa!

[Tasadaru]

I watched a documentary of the 2004 general election and I realized something. We Ron Paul supporters are using the same techniques the neocons used to re-elect King George. The strategy they used was going to people that really didn't care about politics before. Going after hardcore Bush acolytes isn't the way to victory. It's going after the people who don't really care. Keep it up patriots.

[starsonsticks]

Go Iowa!

[Journeywithinn]

excellent..wish he was speaking to the democrats or congress..lol

[JanErikM81]

One of the most inspirational videos so far, he's an excellent speaker.

[flowr76]

Wow I don't know who Drew is but I am a huge fan! Politics is fuuuuuun!

[starcraft5045]

We need Mr Frodo (Ron Paul) to get rid of my precioussss.

[AmericanJoe1973]

Let's go Iowa. Start the revolution!!!!

[wikipediaronpaul]

Excellent pep talk, Drew, you should be touring for Ron Paul. I personally think that FairTax awakened the grassroots. Now, if all of those FairTax people are not behind Ron Paul, then I do not understand why not!! Ron Paul has too much integrity just to go a step in the right direction, he'll take it home. Let's make it happen.

Why doesn't Huckabee endorsed Ron Paul. If he were a true, "change" patriot with integrity, he would.

[hewolfe]

What we should all do is buy a stamp that says Ron Paul for President and stamp every paper currency that goes through our hands. If you want to get the word out then what better way than currency which constantly changes hands. A nice slap in the face for the Federal Reserve lol. I ordered my Stamp from ronpaulstamp(dot)com or you can use a marker!

[PresidenteCamacho]

Make sure you're all registered as Republican to vote in the primaries.

Make sure you tell EVERYONE that you encounter about Ron Paul - DON'T BE SHY! We can't rely on our allegedly free press to inform the public so we have to do it ourselves!

Don't buy useless sweaters and perfume for your family this Christmas. Buy Ron Paul's excellent books from the campaign website as gifts instead. It will empower your family with knowledge AND contributes to the campaign!

[brooklynzoo81]

Very good speech.

[fishbuc11]

Drew you are one heck of a motivator! Go Ron Paul!

[marco114]

I want a PRESIDENT to get up at that podium and tell me how much money he's saved me today. "I've cut 30,000 troops from Korea today." They are coming home. This is a savings of 2.5 Billion over the next year.

[sidrosteel]

Drew.. you rock.

[zappatx]

Drew, pleasure meeting you tonight in Council Bluffs. This was my first time to meet Dr. Paul and he must have been in top form. What a rally!! I'll be calling you to offer my time. Thanks!

[utjjjbbb]

Great speech, Drew. Judging from the straw poll fiasco, you folks need to confirm your votes. Some are advocating taking a photo of the ballot before and after submitting and collecting affidavits at each poll. With caucuses it would help to have an RP person videotaping. CSPAN did it...

[malaetas]

Iowa supporters, know that Ron Paul supporters everywhere are behind you 100%! I know personally that a lot of grassroots groups across the country are working right now to write letters Iowa voters to help get out the word about Ron Paul.

[mickrussom]

RON PAUL 2008 FTW - If no RP, USA will cease to exist.

[AArtArthur]

Please make it happen Iowa !!

[kamason86]

i'm doing my best over here... do what you can too!!!

[Curlz31]

Ron Paul supporter in Australia here!!!

[takadi]

It's true. Even Dean wasn't true grassroots. This campaign is spontaneous, independent, intrinsically motivated...like an organism. No campaign in modern history could ever raise 4 million in one day WITHOUT the help of the official campaign entirely with the use of the internet on the accord of its own supporters.

[interpauler]

If the majority of Ron Paul supporters actually vote in the Primaries, we would most likely win. Even if only 5-8% of the public support Ron Paul like the official polls say, only about 5-10% of the population vote in the Republican Primary! That's why it's critical that we have to work hard right now. Just a few people could make or break this election!

[mickrussom]

Also keep in mind, Ron Paul's name is not selectable on telephone polls, and if you select other, they throw you off the list.

Ron Paul @ 8% really means Ron Paul @ 80%

[pgadeb]

good speech!

greetings from Florida!

Our Meetup group had a RP Christmas float in the Port St. Lucie parade, with a banner "All I want for Christmas is my Country back", message of Peace, Liberty, and Prosperity on the sides in lights, and walkers handing out slim jims. Very well received, about 6-8000 people saw the float.

Go Ron GO! Countdown to Boston LiberTea Party, complete with First ever Political BLimp!

[McCockle]

Washington Needs a Doctor NOT a Lawyer!! =D

[MidstreamHorse]

how can out of staters help? anything besides calling?

[picassolama]

Calling is the number one task at hand. There are several people in Iowa who are undecided, and still haven't heard of Dr. Paul (I find this increasingly unbelievable). Connecting with Iowans one-on-one is the best. We are conducting literature drops (see my other vid), and out-of-staters are welcome to come help!

[picassolama]

Call 1-888-828-PAUL if you wish to volunteer. We are searching room and board for visitors. No guarantees tho.

[UpBeforeSunrise]

I wish we had another year.

[barnroad]

We don't! Take action now!

[CasaWood]

It is nice to see the excitement of the campaign. Go Iowa!

[namesbc]

I hope he meant exponential, logarithmic growth would be terrible!

[H0ll0wV0id]

I think thats what he meant exponential, but if you draw an exponential growth in logarithmicly, then you'll get a linear increase.

[TBRambo]

LOVE IT!

[melioped]

Thank you Dr. Paul for loving us! The World is sick and we need a real Doctor for change you are more then doctor you are the medicine I will be so glad to have a cup of freedom tea with you on the 12-16-07. and I will pay with paper dollars as much as I can afford my freedom and have silver back. Maybe CNN will let you do the real speech soon. Stay tall and G-d bless you and G-d bless America and our constitutional republic of the US and our troops whom you'll bring home...Love you RP'08&'12

[vfuturist]

How do we win Iowa?

[picassolama]

Hope, pray, and make phone calls!

[vfuturist]

hope and pray wont work, but knocking on doors and making calls will.

[lukensal]

We can do it!!!!

meetup dot com

[kevgrim]

Now that vid was a Great American who supports another Great American! RP4ME!!!!!!

[RonPaulSaveUS]

Captain Drew - thank you!!

[picassolama]

Oh...Giuliani...I was having a difficult time figuring out who you supported. Thanks for the comment tho, you are a shining example of a true Giuliani supporter.

[rlake76]

Dude, your a loser. Yeah like we give a shit what some punk ass pussy who watches South Park and jerks off all day thinks. Go back to you mommas basement you little scum sucking Ghouilianni troll. Maybe one day you'll wake up from your football induced stupidity and realize Rudy doesn't give a shit about your stupid ass...and I think if you thought about THAT...you'll reconsider trolling on Ron Paul video sites.

[axisboldas]

LOL - GIULIANI SUPPORTER.

[magingras]

LOL @ 9iu11iani

[kamason86]

if you can't even spell your 'candidates' name i don't think you should be entitled to vote... but seriously.... people like you put our country where it is today... iraq and every other country in the world... down w/ the empire, bring our troops home!

[benjie2429]

Hopefully they provide busses like Romney did for those straw polls. This caucus is going to be different than any other state election system...The cold weather is going discourage many folks to stay home and watch the football games..Now I suggest we use this to our advantage

[griffthegrandone]

Campaign HQ, if your listening....send Drew Ivers to Minnesota after the Iowa Caucus!!

He's Awesome!!!

[skdjfhskjhdf]

Go Ron Paul!

[ClearFire1]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[Dresden718]

Ron Paul will WIN! Please donate on December 16th ! Help him win!

[Benaiahh]

WEll, that video got me pumped up.

[cocytus2]

he's catchin' on i'm tellin' ya!!

[Seagravers]

Wow, hahaha, I'm guessing the New Hampshire commercial will never fade.

[jessebickeldotcom]

lol NOOOOOO not that video!

[anyusmoon1]

lol It's TRUE though :-)

[frodolinkimo]

A Dirty Little Secret

National polls numbers on Republican Primaries are made of responses from ONLY those who voted in the 2004 Republican primaries.

In 2004, ONLY 3% of Republicans voted in the 2004 primaries...

[jsnyder420]

He is actually talking about exponential growth. The growth rate of a logarithmic curve decreases as time passes. Anyway, good pep talk.

[RevoluionOmni]

Ron Paul Blimp ftw!!! ^_^

*donated*

[WorshipVideo]

Encouraging talk.

Thanks for posting.

Ron Paul...he's the man.

[evilwhitey98]

Grass Roots for the win is right! Go Ron Paul! Get out and tell people! Donate and help the american people take their country back!

[lastnymleft]

If he's the sort of guy the campaign is attracting to the position of state campaign manager, then the campaign's in good hands.

Our grassroots campaign harnessed to solid knowledge/people like that = A WINNING STRATEGY!

[sanarkhos]

Grass roots for the win!

[papalaterreur]

Plain truth. Simply.

BRAVO!

[ProspectorSam]

Excellent. I hope everyone listens, and forwards this video to their meetup groups.

RP 08 FTW

[ADDTV]

all right. Ron Paul 08!

[HNowak]

Awesome!! I'll have another 60 letters to Iowan's ready by tomorrow. These early states NEED our help, pls find a way to volunteer!

Here's to getting boots on the ground for Ron Paul!

[tomaslander]

Someone has to tell him that what he was describing is perhaps an exponential, not a logarithmic growth curve. A logarithmic will begin to slow down as times passes, while the exponential will start to pick up steam, which is what's happening to Paul's support.

[xexkxex]

IT GO TIME!!!! TEAPARTY07!!!!!!

PS-Don't forget the blimp!

[fadetodawn]

Liberty is Brewing on December 16th!

TeaParty07(dot)com

[phreak1983]

It was cool seeing this in person, the debate party was great!

It's time to take our country back! Ron Paul '08!

[d991]

Give it your all this December.  You can do this.

[usmcvet66]

yep, here it is folks: our once in a lifetime chance to elect a man of consistent principled integrity. Get the word out. We need to continually ask ourselves: what have I done to get Ron Paul elected today? I put slim jims in the waiting room when I got my oil changed. Go for it.

GO TEAPARTY07.

[piotrbentley]

Wow, Amazing Speech!

[keagle6]

Fantastic pep talk! We are thankful to have Dr. Ivers leading the Iowa campaign for Ron Paul. After Dr. Paul completes the next 8 years, we can recruit Dr. Drew Ivers for the following 8 years.

[Nillok]

He should be on TV representing Paul! :)

[fairtaxPresident2008]

brought a tear to my eye, go Iowa, go Ron Paul

[Brimax]

AWESOME SPEECH!!! There is definitely a reason this man is the campaign chairman in Iowa!

[deadsh33p]

this is the most exciting time american has seen in centuries

[musicsheddcom]

WOW! What a great speech! I wish Ron would talk about his record like this.

Go Ron Paul!

[anyusmoon1]

He's right. Now I don't know much about logirhythmics but intuitively one can see that Romney blasted out of the gate by virtue of his own millions of dollars.

We must take this back and no longer tolerate anyone thinking they can buy, be born nor married into our oval office!!!

RON PAUL president '08-'16

[anyusmoon1]

He is so right. Although I don't understand logirhythymics, intuitively I can tell you that Romneys blast out of the gate was due to his own millions paying for it. We must succeed in proving that you can no longer BUY, be born or married into our oval office!

[anyusmoon1]

Oh picassolama! THANK YOU!!! I will try to embed/upload and let you know!

This is wonderful
