Better Organization needed!! (Please Read)
One thing I have noticed about this campaign is that it seems very unorganized. The biggest problem is not much media coverage but the people need to start talking & organizing better. Since we don't have the media, why don't we run the campaign like a multi marketing type campaign. (Like AMWAY) In other words break up into very small groups, cover more ground, build each group and Educate people about him as you go. Perhaps fliers with his message to pass out to everyone you know. Start with friends and family. Educate them about his message and explain what the media is doing and why. People make better decisions when they are well informed. This is important. We're against the odds. instead of large groups on main drags. Try smaller groups with big signs at more intersections saying Google Ron Paul. It will make his name recognition more noticeable. Research has proven that most people don't recognize signs until the 7th time they see it so cover 8 to 12 blocks at a time. If they keep driving and keep seeing people with signs over and over again then they start becoming more aware of the situation and would remember to Google him when they got home. Try having Ron Paul Parties. You don't have to call them that. You know like the Jewelery Parties women have in their homes only learning about Ron Paul and the constitution. You could raise money in your parties for signs and materials to put up locally. I'm Telling ya, things like this work. The media is telling the whole country everyday one thing so if we want to change there views we are gonna have to do it one on one with people. In other words, fight fire with fire! These are just a few ideas that would work. We need a think tank with more ideas. whatever it takes, lets win this thing. Our freedom depends on it!! I'm open to suggestions anyone?
Oh, I could use some help on my website. The people here in Indiana Don't even know who Ron Paul is. I can't get anybody to comment on him. I'm only reaching a few thousand a month tho.
Some comments about him might get the locals interested.
Thanks

Hi - i guess i thought this is what all states are doing now, aren't they? I am not one of the first joiners so - i am a less than perfect example, but..this stuff sounds pretty standard. I guess i am thinking of the campaign telling us how much support and volunteerism there is out there - like we are doing so much already.
See, i am pretty sure the missing link is the media. I come from media - i know it is powerful even if it is fractioned. I used to work in promotions. I would write these promos for the next day stories. Then they would 'forget' to do that actual story, and i had to pull the promos, blah blah. Then the people would call. "Why did you cut that story! I really wanted to hear that story! I have interest in it - where is it?!" But of course it was a figment of my marketing imagination! LOL. Poor people. My point is this: I was able with six seconds of copy - to get thousands of people salivating for information! Because they thought "Oh, this is the NEWS = they have cameras and real journalists and i will surely learn a lot from this story!" Now compare that to me walking up to a house and saying, "I have a story to tell you about vaccinations, do you want to hear it?" I mean.... not the same thing, is it. There is no news time urgency, no repetition all day, no flashy video. I guess i am not offering a solution. BUT let's think about this. How can each area get their local media to cover some event. Example. One group went out and picked up garbage for Ron Paul - and got a nice long feature out of it with soundbites. It is better than no mention of Ron Paul, isn't it? How many local media outlets were notified with the last Teaparty money bomb - not network, but local.
Thanks.
