Texas Emergency!

Submitted by AmerIcan555 on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 01:14

I talked to someone in Houston who normally would go out and vote Ron Paul, but he thought RP was being given up on in Texas! He isn't a big political follower but he said that there were signs and promotion EVERYWHERE in 2008. Dead this year!

Guys, I encourage you to start the sign making. Have a sign making party in Texas, have fun, and put it on YouTube..

There shouldn't be a single person here who doesn't have at LEAST a few bumper stickers (magnets) on the back of their car (unless you don't have a car). I opted for a few that are mentally stimulating.

Legalize Freedom - Ron Paul
Honesty for a change - Ron Paul
Peace is not dangerous - Ron Paul

Bumper stickers that really get people behind you's blood pumping:
- Prices aren't higher the dollar is lower
- Inflation is how government taxes an ignorant public

Some other good ones..
"YouTube Ron Paul" and "Google Ron Paul"

Do the same things with your homemade signs.. Get mentally stimulating messages out so people will look him up. Once people are interested enough to look him up they never go back! We are the media!

Thanks,

Much love brothers and sisters of Texas

OK guys, lets make this happen. I'm a USMC veteran, and my husband is a 17 year active Marine. All that to say, when you are told, "make it happen" that means find a way, any way, it just ends to get done no matter what:-) I know alot here are not keen on military tyranny, but my hubby and I are both free thinkers. We find alot of humor in alot of the ridiculousness, you have to or you'll go nuts:-)

The benefit of bumper stickers

Submitted by McClarinJ on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 09:07.

is inversely proportional to their number, beginning at one. One bumper sticker delivers the message that's on the bumper sticker. Five bumper stickers deliver the message that the car's owner is a nut case.

But the time to be obsessed is AFTER you are converted. When DOING the converting....less is definitely much more effective. ;)

Submitted by McClarinJ on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 23:19.

You misjudge me. My degree is only a BS and it's in Public Relations, or is that a redundancy? Nevertheless, I deal in public perceptions and their management and content delivery.

Obsession can be harnessed to do great things or it can be left to run roughshod over others' sensibilities. I have seen many a car absolutely loaded with cause bumper stickers and have always had the same reaction: "There goes someone who doesn't know how ineffective they are."

Taking another slice, someone with twenty priorities has no priorities. Select the one most important message and call attention to it by displaying it against an uncluttered background. Anything else detracts from what you want others to see.

People need to hand these out on a double sheet of paper:

But I wish the person who made that would add a little box in the top left like this example to be TX specific:

And maybe also add that voting for Santorum/Newt will seal Mitt winning.

That would be great.... they should also give out free bumper stickers

4,300 bumper stickers would be cool.

Bumper Stickers on Ebay

Submitted by sceptreofjudah on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 03:02.

Paypal execs are Ron Paul supporters and sell bumper stickers for cost with free shipping. I got 3 lots of 200 for $30 (approx) a lot. I used them to great advantage in WA state. I hung out at the local college and at strip malls with a couple of signs and handed out free bumper stickers. I took names, talked about Paul's values and record, and told them about a Cowlitz County for Ron Paul FB page we set up. I personally brought in about 60 supporters. We ended up getting 188 delegates as opposed to 150 Romney, 130 Santorum, 30 Gingrich. It's a great way to do it.

The signs are pretty basic,

Submitted by AmerIcan555 on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 03:06.

The signs are pretty basic, but they did hand them out when I went to URI... The message is greater than Ron Paul himself. That is why I'm trying to promote a new way to get our message across with things that say more than just Ron Paul - Restore American Now. Although that is a good one :)

Time for a sign making for the El Paso meetup. We are all pumped since he spoke tonight. My bumper stickers are also about to get a lot more thought provoking.

Print out Posters that in in big letters, "RON PAUL 2012" and put them everywhere.

We're about to put out 100 a week here in California. I'm starting to see Kony 2012 on every traffic light pole.

AWESOME EFFORT!! I'm hoping people will just add something mentally stimulating to get folks interested enough to actually look him up. Remember most of these sheeple still think he is an old racist cook who can't win anything...

I drove 90 miles through quite a few towns and only saw 2 Ron Paul signs...both in front of the same business. I saw none for the other candidates.
