Internet Paulites: All Talk, No Show
- Thread starter blureach
- Start date
I drove from New York to New Hampshire to Ron Paul's campaign HQ. Left at 5am and got there at 11am. They sent me to a polling station where my wife and I held signs for Ron Paul and answered any questions voters had, spent about 6 hours out there. It was freezing too. Would do it again, and will do it again in New York. I would do it in PA too but the elections are on the same day.
We're also going to do our own campaigning here in New York for Ron Paul, independently though.
The most effective two items in order:
1. Cash (used properly to get more voters if spent properly)
2. Telephone calls for cash/votes

Everyone that supports Paul needs to buy one of them yard signs from their shop or get one from the campaign. Put that shit in your yard now.
Think marketing, think exposure, there is a really why every election people still do that. The more signs the more exposure. When idiots go to the polls they vote for whois name pops in their head first.

I'm in Florida and have seen four advertisements on TV that were run by the Pro-Romney super-PAC since I got back in 30 minutes ago. I've also seen a few Anti-Gingrich ads on FB and an Obama banner ad on a few websites. Do you know how many Paul ads I've seen at all? (In a wealthy, historically Republican area)
NONE.
I've even seen Santorum advertisements...
I don't think he's even going to try for FL.

He hasn't He said he is spending absolutely no money on Florida (Correct me if I'm wrong).
He has very little chance of winning Florida so he is going after delegates in other states.
Makes sense, we're a winner take all state so it's probably just a waste of money... Then again...
Oh, nevermind.
Delegate training on Saturday brah. I went to a watch party for the Iowa caucus a couple weeks ago and met a bunch of really sharp younger cats. Of course one or two of them were weird and annoying, but I was pretty impressed with the knowledge of economics, history, and philosophy with this group.
I'm looking for ways to get involved with the foot soldier stuff when it gets closer to Texas' primary but for now I think the best thing I can do is keep educating myself on the Austrian economics and history so I can sharpen my persuasion skills. I've tried to talk to a lot of my friends and what I actually hear more of than anything is "eh. dude I just don't care anymore." Those are the kinds of people who we need to be reaching.
Search meetup.com and you'll find people to connect with in your area.
I've got a Ron Paul sticker on my car right next to my dickroll bumpersticker (How's my driving, asshole? | Dick Roll Bumper Stickers) I've already dickrolled a few people. I know because they ripped off my sticker.
I have those car magnets on both sides of my car too.
I drive all over. So if you ever see the black cadillac with the Ron Paul magnets in NY, PA, or NJ, thats me. :1bluewinky:

PM me if anything good comes up in our area. I was looking at that Saturday thing yesterday. It's hard for me to break from the family on the weekends but I may still be able to swing it.
Will let you know. Right now, it looks like the big event will be the Barbecue in early March. Its in freakin Trinity which isn't so bad for you because you're already half way there. I'll probably get a group together and carpool out there. Could be something fun to bring the family out to.

Sweet. Just got family clearance to attend on Saturday's Delegate training. I'm a little confused about some things. I was reading something about being a registered republican to begin. Obviously I'm not. Is this going to be a problem? and more importantly, are people going to throw tomatoes at me?
