Within Striking Distance in GA. Early Voting Turnout and "Operation Chaos" Can Win It
Submitted by Maitski on Wed, 02/22/2012 - 08:48Georgia is ripe for a surprise by Ron Paul. It could be the perfect storm.
All of the other three are equally dividing the vote for us. The latest has Gingrich at 26%, Romney at 24%, Santorum at 23%. Ron Paul is at 12%.

But here's where we can win. There is early voting in Georgia. I voted last week already. Many places are even open this Saturday. So there's no excuse not to get out and vote. Turn out seems to be low so far and there really isn't much excitement down here. If every Ron Paul supporter actually shows up and votes, we can make up the difference in the polling numbers.

The other big factor is that Democrats can choose to vote in the Republican primary. You decide at the poll which ballot you want. It doesn't matter what you are registered as. Since Obama doesn't have an opponent, what if you can get some Democrats to vote for Ron Paul, for nothing else other than to create a little more chaos in the Republican race. Take a Democrat out to lunch and convince them to vote for Ron Paul in order to make the race more interesting.
It's all about turnout. If every Ron Paul supporter takes the few minutes to actually vote and maybe get a few Democrats to also vote for him, he should be able to double his poll results.
There will be a big Ron Paul rally this Sunday afternoon at the Square in Marietta. Ron Paul won't be there but I'm sure many will show up to show their support. We need to get them all to get out and vote asap.

A win in Georgia would shock the world. I really think that it's possible.
ELECTION JUDGE
When you vote sign up to become an election judge in your precinct. Ron Paul is going to need all the help he can get in the fall election to prevent fraud.
Gold standard: because man can not be trusted to control his greed
Come on Georgia, show us your
Come on Georgia, show us your smarts and vote for Ron Paul!!!
The time is ripe
Ron Paul's March to the Sea!
Georgian's haven't seen anything like that in awhile.
Producing, distributing and archiving the BEST Ron Paul Speech films.
Isn't TMOT in Atlanta Area?
TMOT (Minister of Truth) LOVES Ron Paul and makes videos explaining Paul's campaign. If those of you in GA could contact him - and help him - I'll bet it would be a great boost to your idea! Go, Georgia!!
Tmot's band is playing at the rally
He is in my county.
TMOT
That's terrific! Any way to talk with him and encourage him to make a video specifically on this topic...and ask his friends to support the drive? Way cool!
I spoke with him briefly Saturday
He is trying to get the vote out, but he says the people that live around him hardly ever vote period. He has also participated in some of our sign waves. He told me he is working on another video. I am sure his plate is about full, but I will speak to him about it again ths week.
In the meantime maybe we can all brainstorm talking points
for TMOT, for in person and for his video(s).
Would the "non-voters" have to have been registered before now, or can they register on voting day?
I'd think ending the war on drugs/disproportionate # of blacks in prison/no victim-no crime would be a good talking point.
What do others here think?
It's too late for new voters
The last day for registering for the primary was Feb 6
I can't wait to vote for him
I can't wait to vote for him in Ga but I'm not going to vote early. I will attend the rally on the Square, too!
Is there an advantage to voting early?
I had planned to wait for March 6th and conduct an exit poll at my precinct.
I will also be at the rally with my wife.
Voting on Friday
And I'll be at the Rally.
I think we all know we can win...
...but can we stop the fraud to prevent the win?
...can we stop the media bias from excluding Dr. Paul?
I truly believe Ron Paul won Iowa in 2008 and 2012
I truly believe Ron Paul won New Hampshire in 2008 and 2012
I truly believe Ron Paul won Nevada in 2008 and 2012
I truly believe Ron Paul won Maine in 2008 and 2012
These wins were stolen from RP in 2012 as they were in 2008. The difference this time is Ron Paul has garnered even more support and the supporters are not as disillusioned as the were after these losses in 2008. The people are waking up to the real possibility of fraud in the Nomination process and in the General Election.
When the American people start to understand the way elections can be bought or stolen, they will realize in a hurry they are not living in a free Republic at all - when people think they are no longer free - they fight! This is how we will win
Preparation through education is less costly than learning through tragedy
Both primaries are held the same day.
You have to choose a D or R ballot. Since Obama is running unoposed, Dems can crossover without any consequence.
If a Democrat
votes in the Republican Primary, can they then again vote in the Democratic primary (if there were one)? Just curious. Would seem like a way to drop a vote for the worst candidate against your front runner to me.
Bump
Get this up. We need to get every Ron Paul supporter as focused as they were in Washington County last Saturday. If he hit every Primary/Caucus that way we will start winning!!!
Don't assume we are going to win, don't assume we are going to lose, assume that you need to get as many votes as possible. That is it.
Assume that your life time of activism depends on how hard you fight this election. Assume that this is a long-term game, that no matter what happens on November 6th, that on November 7th you'll still have work to do.
Treat this like the Gym, if you don't show up today, it'll be harder to show up tomorrow. Keep pushing and we will win!

At this point,
a win anywhere by Ron Paul would be welcomed! They stole it in Maine, and probably Nevada too. They're making it look easy to take candy away from the Ron Paul effort. I hope their strategy of gathering delegates is successful. I'd sure like to see more public affirmation of Ron Paul. I can't believe people actually favor Santorum over a Ron Paul! Now, that's depressing.

Great Post, Your Post May Be What Wins Ron This State! And
another reason to win it is because it is Newt's home state. I imagine there has to be a lot of people in his state that would not vote for him and would like to see someone else win like Ron Paul!
A.Hansen
Absolutely!
I'm from Minnesota, but I think everyone who does live in Georgia needs to see this and act accordingly! One good place to find registered Democrats would be at black churches (in GA, party identification often is strongly divided along racial lines). You could let them know that Ron Paul wants to bring our troops home, is against the drug war which disproportionally affects minorities, is the most popular Republican candidate by far among minorities, etc. Perhaps you could get a local pastor to put in a good word for Ron Paul among his flock?
Join the Music Bomb! Be sure to invite all your friends so we can get Ron Paul's name to the top of the charts AND raise a lot of money for his campaign at the same time!
