Blogs and Yard Signs and Precincting (Oh My!)

But I think it would be a lot more effective to encourage some sort of monthly funding mechanism where people sign up to give a certain amount every month. The campaign would have a steady stream of income and it wouldn't be such a big hit on the pocket books of donors. For this concept to work, there would have to be a large number of people donating. Money bombs are great at generating excitement, and may spur some donations in the heat of the moment that may otherwise not have happened.

As far as precincting I went door to door handing out DVD's, slim jims and flyers to about 300 houses in my precinct. Ron Paul got a whopping 10 primary votes in my precinct. I knew 9 of them. Granted I live in Arkansas, so Huckabee carried the day, but I was not encouraged by the results of my precincting efforts. Hopefully some seeds were planted.

they of course shouldn't be overused or depended on to greatly though, I agree.

Other types of "money bombs" should be considered, especially the moneyless variety as not everyone can contribute much more money. Those who are strapped for cash often are more than willing to join together in other way to help the cause that may only require time, talent or shoe leather.

The concept of making simultaneous unified efforts across the country excites a lot of people who would otherwise feel their individual efforts small and meaningless in the grand scheme of things and would rather not bother. But when they join their small contributions together with millions of others it becomes an exciting force to be reckoned with that they feel a part of. It has a Gideon effect on those who witness it. Who are these Ron Paul People? Where did they come from? How did they get to be so numerous?

Along with an intense sign, blogging, petitioning, precinting, blimping and car pimping campaign we should also incorporate new and innovated mass simultaneous action campaigns which could involve those previously mentioned activities as well but could be implemented in new and creative ways.

Some ideas off the top of my head:

-Mass charity drive day in honor of Ron Paul
-Mass Ron Paul give blood day where everyone wears Ron Paul 2012 t-shirts
- On a specified day everyone write their local paper or news blog, or call in show to expose the Federal reserve or call for our troops to come home, or another one of Dr. Paul's issues and quote him as much as possible.
-Set up "How to buy, sell, and use gold and silver as currency" booths at fairs and gunshows.
-Hold Badnarik constitution classes for eager "tea partiers" who want to learn more about the constitution. They'll take the bait if you tell them it's in order to fight those "dirty dems"!
-continue doing search engine floods
-Youtube bombs: Everyone post a video of you saying I support Ron Paul.
-Everyone make their own super market separator thing with Ron Paul 2012 written all over it, find a line that will take a long time, make the people behind you smile, think or engage in a conversation about it. lol
-etc.

There's lots of different ways to do "money bombs" without the money and we should explore and execute as many as we can.
