What to do with case of Super Brochures?
Submitted by Ben Russell on Mon, 02/13/2012 - 20:46Hi there, guys. My name is Ben, and I'm new to the Daily Paul forums, but I have been lurking for quite a while. I am a senior in high school, and I am, thankfully, 18.
I just purchased 900 Super Brochures to be shipped to me in McKinney, a suburb of Dallas. I know there has been a movement to get these shipped to coming caucus states, but I felt it would be better to distribute them by hand or have some of my friends who also support the Doctor to do the same.
My question is this: how can I best utilize these brochures to get out the vote for Dr. Paul?
Some extra information: I go to a high school of about 3000, and there are two others in the city of comparable sizes. There is a large community college in the area called Collin College. So, my most trusted friends, how can I most efficiently use these brochures for the cause of liberty? Thanks for your help, in advance!
GO FOR IT BEN !!
Drop a handful to businesses to place on counters,then check back to see if they need more,or have them call you for more.Have fun !!
Excellent Ben!!
There are many things you might do.
The only thing I know for sure is they need to get into the hands of another person.
You may consider:
-introducing yourself to your neighbors and then hand them a brochure: "I'm a senior at Dallas High. I don't know much about global politics but I believe we should end the killing in Iraq/Afghanistan/Pakistan. Over 200 innocent women and children have died due to drone killings. Ron Paul is the only candidate who will end the killing. Here read this really informational brochure and tell me what you think later. My name is ben and here is my email/phone number on the back. Have a nice evening..Bye!"
-drop brochures in your neighbor's mailboxes or on their front door step.
-go to your favorite restaurants and ask for the owner. "Hey Owner, I'm a senior at Dallas High and was stopping by today to tell you I really love your food here and I admire you for running your own business. Also, I know you pay a lot taxes for a bunch ridiculous regulations and I figured I would let you know about the only trust-worthy candidate running of president this year.
Remember to use your young age as an advantage. and have fund!

Keep up the good work Champion!

Good for you, Ben! One of two posts from me coming your way
I've tried to remember to remind people to be sure they're registered to vote - and that our primary date is still uncertain! And I didn't order but 35 - and seem to be using them 'selectively'... Typically in response to someone's commenting about my 'shirt'.... Reclaiming **Our Constitution **Our Liberties **Our Sovereignty
**The Rule of Law Reclaiming America Ron Paul 2012
Now, that shirt starts a good many conversations, and gives me an opportunity to ask if they'd like to have a Brochure so they could read about him later? And they have... And then, I always say, "He's Not for Sale" - and often ppl know that - and will lean toward me to say - and I'm FOR HIM! But you have far more access to people than I do, as I only 'work' when I'm out and about - to doc appts and grocery store/"Sprouts" or Bank or Petsmart or a Chipotle store...or gas station - when I've gone in when I really didn't need to do so. Is SO fun to visit with Supporters, and I can only hope I'm helping get the word to those who don't KNOW him like we do!

And I intend to ask my contacts more questions...
When someone made a comment about his Foreign Policy, I wish I'd asked him a few questions. (He IS former Marine.) AND when friend on the phone the other night said the dreaded "I like him, but he can't ____"? I regret I didn't say "Where in the world did you hear THAT - and from WHOM?"
Regardless, had an outlet FIRE here in my house - with firefighters called, and one of them noticed my letters on dining table from Dr. Paul - and here went HIS Testimony! And as it turned out Three of them are BIG RP Supporters! There's just something about being invigorated by those kinds of contacts - for ALL of us!
And ALL age groups are supporting him! OR are potential supporters! We just have to get through Big Corporate - that knows he'd change the Culture of Corruption in D.C. And they don't want that!

Thanks for the replies, Susie!
The shirt has seemed to work pretty well! Most of my conversations are long-term, and I rarely manage to convince anyone on the spot, but many of these conversations would not have started without the "Defender of the Constitution" shirt!
I'm hoping the brochures will give some people some more food for thought, since they're something that can actually be "held on to," so to speak.
I've been thinking of holding some sort of rally outside my school. I'd get permission from the principal first, but I don't see why not, considering the yearly (voluntary) "Meet at the Flag Pole" prayer meeting before school starts.
And this is so embarrassing, but do you have a link to some of the critical Texas primary information? I've looked around, but Google hath favored me not! Do you have a link for a page describing some key facts (open/closed primary, mixed primary/caucus, deadline to register, etc.)? I would be so grateful, and I could even make little slips of paper to put into the brochures as I hand them out!
On your second post, I totally know the feeling! I've been talking to a guy who comes from a military family and likes Dr. Paul...but not his foreign policy. He'll be with us in a week, I say! I'm still looking for some other politically active students to help me out, but I think there are a lot of options, and the race is just beginning!
Curt on the front page has a video, keep scrolling and clicking
Showing how SB people interact with potential voters. He recommends always carrying a stack in your hand.
I found asking the question, "Do you know about Dr. Paul" or "Have you heard of Ron Paul?" helps break the ice.
Every brochure directly handed to a person is far more powerful than other ways.
When people see your enthusiasm it can only help. For now...
