A Jorgensen / Cohen Newsletter

Liberty [Redacted]

by Jennifer Imhoff

Beginning October 1, 2020, Facebook will begin enforcing a stricter community standard guideline in an attempt to “stop hate speech.”

These changes are expected to impact page and group admins and require heavy oversight and censorship.

If you are an admin on a group or page, be sure to review the new standards and monitor accordingly. Your personal Facebook profile could be canceled if the terms are violated.

We suggest that you delete brazen or baiting comments; do not respond to the comment or let it stay on the page.

Censorship is the opposite of liberty and not something we condone, but Facebook could revoke your personal account, regardless. We do not want your family connections, photos, or memories to be lost at the expense of your good intentions to volunteer for the campaign. We recommend exercising caution.

Illinois for Jorgensen Page Banned for Sharing Jo Post

Jo Jorgensen’s page safely posted an article regarding millennials’ and Gen Z’s understanding of the Holocaust. The article was originally published by USA Today on the same day, September 16, 2020. When The Illinois for Jorgensen page shared the post and article, the admin for the page was informed that they violated community standards and the page was removed.

Original Post by Admin Les Deffner

“Jo Jorgensen's main page shared a USATODAY article about the Holocaust. It was a genuine article.

I admin the official 'Illinois for Jorgensen/Cohen' page, and Facebook says my resharing of the article was HATE SPEECH that went against community standards.

The article addresses how many Millennials do not know that 6M Jews were murdered. Dr. Jorgensen's comments were posted verbatim, calling out the Department of Education's failures.

Yet Facebook censored the Illinois for Jorgensen/Cohen page and unpublished it.”

What is Phone Banking?

An Interview with Ryan Cooper by Liz Solomon

Our volunteers are doing some really cool things! Most of us have heard about “phone banking.” Phone banking has been around for decades; calling volunteers, donors, and voters is nothing new. But, have you heard of “text banking”? I had an opportunity to catch up with Ryan Cooper from Washington this week. He and a group of volunteers are texting for the Jorgensen campaign.

L: Ryan, tell me, what is a “texting” party?

R: A texting party is where a group of us in the same time zone (Pacific) get together on Zoom and chat with each other while we send text messages to voters using the Jorgensen Call Hub platform. We find that it's more fun doing it as a group than individually. We can ask questions, get help using the system, and have a blast while doing it.

L: Was the event virtual or did you meet somewhere in person?

R: We did it virtually for two reasons. One, Covid, and the forest fires. Meeting together is a challenge already. The forest fires on the West Coast make breathing outside difficult. It just makes sense to get together on Zoom and have a virtual Text Bank Party.

L: How long was the event?

R: The event was from 5-8, but people stayed on until 9pm, which is the Call Hub cutoff for sending messages. We encourage everyone to try to tie up loose conversation threads before logging off so that you don't leave anyone hanging.

L: How did you come up with this idea?

R: Ron Paul's campaign did similar texting and phone banking operations in 2008 and 2012. Volunteers would meet up at a nearby Subway. Whoever sent the most messages won a free $5 footlong. Those who couldn't attend could participate over Skype. This is the next evolution in the Ron Paul Revolution.

L: Was the event a success?

R: Huge success. Going into it, you are never sure how many people will show up. We had 15, which is not bad for our first one. Those volunteers sent over 8000 messages, had over 1000 conversations. The Jorgensen campaign added a bunch of new volunteers and raised over $500 just from our efforts.

L: Would you do it again?

R: We are doing it every Tuesday night 5-8:30 PM Pacific. On election night, we are hosting a virtual zoom party for all of our volunteers. Our goal next week is 50 volunteers from across CA, OR, NV, AZ, WA, and Northern Idaho (Pacific Time Zone) and 50,000 sent messages. We are hoping to get Spike and Jo on future West Coast Text Banker Tuesday Zooms.

L: Is there anything you would like to add?

R: West Coast Text Bankers 4 Jorgensen is issuing a "Time Zone Challenge" to the Mountain, Central, and Eastern Time Zone Jorgensen supporters. Whichever Time Zone Team has the most volunteers and sends the most text messages on a specific Zoom event evening will win a prize or some kind of recognition. We will be offering some swag and incentives to people who want to join our West Coast Text Banker Team. Our team is open to anyone who wants to text bank Pacific Time Zone voters every Tuesday night 5-8:30 PM Pacific. Apply using this link and mention "West Coast Text Bankers": [link removed] ([link removed] )

Thank you Ryan Cooper and all of our amazing text bankers!

To all the volunteers who are looking for a way to get involved, please consider joining us! Everyone can use the link above to sign up! If you’re interested in joining one of the time zone teams please mention your respective time zone, e.g., “East Coast Text Bankers”, “Central Text Bankers”, “Mountain Text Bankers.” If you are interested in leading a time zone, be sure to mention that, too! We can’t wait to see you on Zoom!

Dr Dave’s Top 8 Listening and Reading Recommendations

Suggestions on how to stay current

If you like podcasts, here are the 3 that I listen to while getting in my 10,000 steps:

1. Reason Roundtable Podcast – an hour podcast, available every Monday at

[link removed] ([link removed] ) .

Four editors and writers for Reason take a look at the past week’s issues – often hilarious, always informative.

2. For in-depth interviews, Nick Gillespie asks excellent questions of a variety of well-known

personalities at [link removed] ([link removed] )

3. The Soho Forum Debates, held in NYC (now on Zoom) are English-style debates with vigorous

back and forth arguments, and the audience votes on the winners. Held once a month:

The 5 publications I read to educate myself:

1. Reason Magazine, www.reason.com

2. The Future of Freedom Foundation puts out longer and more historical articles highlighting the folly of government activities; see www.fff.org.

3. The Institute for Justice files landmark lawsuits, taking on nonsensical government intrusions into our lives and winning most of their cases. You’ll find their stories, featuring their clients, at www.ij.org.

4. Cato does excellent policy work and provides briefings to Congressional staff to

educate them on the Libertarian views on legislation. Their most recent work is “Pandemics and Policy.” www.cato.org

5. The Mercatus Center at George Mason University takes an economics view of current problems and explains how theoretical university research can be applied to real-world problems. See www.mercatus.org for research papers in 9 areas, including government spending.
