Besides wasting time on the computer - what did you do today? UPDATE

It's a GREAT question - but you don't need to be so accusatory. We're all on the same team: encourage us, don't beat us up!

OK, today I talked with several people at my church and really evangelized them for Ron Paul. I think out of 5 or 6, I've seen 3 come on board and and the others really thinking. Not as much as you, but hey, I've got two little kids and it's 10 below! :-)

Keep up the good work!

it's 1:30 am, what exactly should I be doing? (smile)
This is what I did today on my company's web-site for my mag, check it out-- I'm very proud!

You seem to imply that simply because there are people on dailypaul today actively interested in the progress in New Hampshire that we're a bunch of lazy bums? You have no idea of which you speak. First of all, my husband is precinct chair, I'm going to be a election judge and we're both going to be delegates as well as find other delegates in our precinct. We go out canvassing every weekend, usually on both Sat and Sun with our kids. We also participate in meetup and go to most of the RP events in our area. We do calling, letter writing.... you name it. We even started organizing fellow supporters in our county to start canvassing. A lot more work than it sounds, believe me.

So why am I on the computer? Because I have strep throat with a 103 fever, not fun! And where's my husband? He saved up all of his christmas vacation days so that he could fly out to New Hampshire to help the Live Free or Die project.

Are we doing enough for you? Why are YOU on the computer?

Who's gonna win? RON PAUL!!

one of my customers came over tonight and we talked about politics for about and hour and a half. really to talk to someone about Ron Paul it takes a while because to go into the issues it takes time, to convert them solid anyway. I can see why Ron Paul has to talk so fast when in interviews. Anyway we have a new Ron Paul supporter and he said he will spread the word. Of coarse I will be arming him with some RP videos. One by one we educate people and become the majority. Also my brother and sister in law voted for Ron Paul in thier caucas in Iowa I found out tonight, I guess the 9 million RP videos I sent them paid off.........

Where? I must of passed up 50 houses, due to no hangers!

ugh!

I just wrote 20 letters to Michigan voters and encouraged others on this forum to join in a 24 hour letter bomb. From the letter writing website it was obvious there were a few who took the challenge. Hopefully, many more will respond...

I understand your point here, we need to spread our message off the internet, and I agree.

I created http://tell10friends.com to help do that. Yes, you're still using the internet to spread the word, but your doing it with people that would not normally be looking at Digg, YouTube, Facebook, or other resources where Ron Paul support is large enough to convince.

I think we have to start working together more as well. When someone has a good idea, PUSH IT FORWARD, then move on to the next idea. Not everyone can have the best idea at all times, just work together.

In Alameda, CA. The Bay Area is a Democratic area, but Ron Paul has some good support and people are generally open to hearing his message. It is hard, but fun and very interesting.

I passed out about 600-700 slim jims ,a few dvds and bumper stickers then I donated $100 and volunteered to do a gun show next week .

Bad situation in Michigan --

We are making our own signs, printing our own literature. We have given up on the official campaign doing anything for us.

They have been giving everyone the runaround, including their paid staffers at the state level. They are stonewalling us. There just isn't anybody you can get any answers from. They have a monolithic firewall worthy of the soviet union. Anyone you can get through to is either clueless, or gives non-answers that are clearly nonsense, such as "they were shipped Federal Express but there's no tracking number", etc. (as the materials don't show up). We held a meeting of precinct captains with a big turnout, and the materials didn't show up. Guess what? Still no materials.

Over a month since we got any Slim Jims, we have been bone dry for three weeks. Signs finally arrived, weeks late, and much fewer than requested. But no stands.

We aren't giving up. We are buying stands, making our own stuff, including literature. About one week away from the election, and we have been getting promised stuff since weeks before Christmas. We've lost the entire holiday season and another warm weekend, fielding calls from volunteers who want to go door to door but don't have any materials.

We'll do what we can with the time left, but if we had known this would happen we could have pulled the whole thing off by ourselves. This is a revolution of can-do business people accustomed to doing the impossible against huge odds on ridiculously short schedules. We could have had materials professionally printed, extra signs made, and major areas covered by now. Instead, we were left motionless because of promises that we would have official campaign literature. Always "we hope it will be here soon".

Nothing saps enthusiasm of volunteers more than being let down like this. It is now too late to get the coverage we wanted to get with door to door drives when people had time off for the holiday.

I have experience with smoke jobs like this, it's always when companies are in serious cash flow trouble and aren't willing to admit it -- so they start lying to everyone -- their customers, their creditors, their employees.

We have hundreds of volunteers in this county alone, chomping at the bit. Tomorrow the official word goes out from the local volunteer organizers -- "the campaign has abandoned us, print out whatever you can and go door to door with that." And, "we don't have enough signs to give to everyone that requested one, so only put them on corners, and we'll make a few hundred more of our own to put out".

Hey, thanks for the words of encouragement. Note to anyone else waiting for materials -- If it's been awhile, forget about it now while you still have time to cover your neighborhoods. Don't do what we did and wait until one week before the election before giving up and making your own. You can't trust what the paid campaign staffers tell you. Even though they have the best intentions, they are getting fed lies from the top and being kept in the dark like everyone else.

Now let's get out there and promote freedom!

I manned our Ron Paul booth at a gun show and signed up to become a precinct leader. I am also a PCO.

Yesterday I hung 100 vertical pole signs and today I hung 100 vertical pole signs.

Man, I'll tell you what, I didn't know what I was thinking in I'd blow through three hundred signs in a day. I guess I compared them to placing slim jims, which go quick.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

and I met up with my meetup group and a bunch of us went out to do some sign waving ... I also wrote letters and distributed slim jims! :-)

Still waiting for my literature - will print out stuff from the net tomorrow so I can start canvassing.

... and hung slim jims on door handles... hard work but exhilarating... if you had told me a year ago I would be doing this, I would have told you that you were nuts... I only became a citizen in September last year... had no interest in politics... two wings of the same bird... why bother... and then Ron Paul rode into town... this movement must NEVER die down... I love these scenes of people carrying signs and banners... don't tax me bro!... we must NEVER stop doing this...

Lit dropped precinct 3183... Mostly done. Getting ready for more lit drop and voter identification.

Friday I had a medical appointment and talked to the nurses and clerks (and a few people in the waiting rooms) about Ron Paul. Most were very enthusiastic and had a lot of questions.
Saturday I was unable to get out aside from the grocery store, but I talked to a couple people in line about Ron Paul.
Today, I had Mass and talked to people there at church.
I have been spreading the word sooo much, that I heard one lady say "here comes the Ron Paul lady" when she saw me approaching.
I need to order some campaign materials from the campaign office, so I will be doing that in the next day or so. I am broke after donating to so many of these excellent efforts. My elderly mother is going to give me the money to get the materials because she isn't able to get out at all, but wants to do whatever she CAN do. She said she will pay for the stuff and I will spread it.

I worked the Cabarrus County Gun show Sat & Sun and posted a video of it....

getting the word out.

I made 24 2 foot by 6 foot Ron Paul Revolution signs to be hung the night after the NH primary.

and yard signs, converted two friends, talked to a disenchanted American who hasn't voted in years (think he will come around) went to a dinner party and told everyone about RP. Signed up to be a Precinct leader.
