Tell us of your success stories. Let's hear what is ACTUALLY WORKING to recruit new voters.
»





















Plan of Action to come soon! From IPPAC
We are just about out of time here in Central Illinois! The online community has help Ron Paul's message spread here. However one final step is needed, the final push, if you will. We need to raise $2500.00 in just two days. That is 100 Ron Paulions donating $25.00.
The money will go to small town publications and win the small town voters hearts and minds. Ron Paul's message must reach them as well. We have to WAKE UP and invite them to the R3volution that is taking place. Please help the Illinois Patriots Political Action Committee with the final stage of our battle of MEDIA CENSORSHIP here in Central Illinois!
The knowledge from this mission will provide a "how to" on how to win your local area. We will provide to all the meetup groups our plan of attack and lay out what websites we purchased air time from and how we spent each dollar given to Dr. Paul’s message. We have been very busy and need one final last stand before Super Tuesday!
Here is the site link to help with our "LAST STAND"

Again, thank you to everyone who has refused to be silenced and have helped Ron Paul's message get into the hands of the very necessary voters we are trying to reach! Thank You!
My name is Jake and we are meetup 528:

New supporter in GA
This may not be one of the great success stories out there but I heard from my brother over the weekend who asked what all the Ron Paul buzz is about in his town in Georgia. He knows I recently ran for local office in VA and figured I would know something. We don't speak very often but spoke for a few minutes and he committed to check out Dr. Paul’s campaign web site. This evening brother Bill informed me that he signed up at the site and spoke to a neighbor about his new found interest. I’m talking about a conservative 40 year old family guy who has paid little attention to politics and is often shy about his political opinions. Here is a guy who has finally taken notice and immediately gravitated to the right candidate. Very happy to report that the good doctor has another supporter and that my brother has joined the revolution.

Hispanic communities?
Any advice to recruit in Hispanic communities? Any talking points that would appeal to Hispanics?
Liberty, Freedom...
That's a good start....no different than anybody else...then move on to illegal immigration and securing the borders.
Educate Encourage Example Enlighten
I actively seek opportunity to EDUCATE others about Ron Paul's stand on issues, and then ENCOURAGE them to join the Ron Paul rEVOLution online, while conductng myself as an EXAMPLE of an ENLIGHTENED supporter.
An enlightened supporter has educated themselves on the issues, read Ron Paul's books, can debate for Ron Paul inteligently and with sincere kindness.

The RP campaign is about education
and his message needs more time than a 30 second sound bite to explain and understand.
Seeking opportunity is paying attention
If you go out to eat, tell the waitress in a kind matter of fact way, "You know, If Ron Paul was president this tip would be 100% yours. You earned it". I leave my tip with a Liberty Card.
I go to Town Hall meetings, we've had them for a number of issues one being Universal healthcare..I got up to speak with my Ron Paul T shirt on, I didn't say Ron Paul, I didn't need to say Ron Paul, I questioned my community how would Universal healthcare protect cannabis patients, since it's legal here and our community is economically sustaining it's on that. You should have been there...the supporters of Universal healthcare ran up to me when I sat down (All this was on TV) in desperation because they knew I blew Universal healthcare...I just heard Universal healthcare failed here in CA yesterday (not that I had anything to do with that at all).
I listen to what people say and respond with Ron Paul solutions, and when I'm around folks who know I'm all about Ron Paul, I respectfully back off, and let them vent, because...I relax....they always come back to me...lately it's, I see Ron Paul got second in NV. It tells me they are paying attenion, and so I ENCOURAGE them to educate ME about Ron Paul.
Are you with me so far?

Anything
I've been putting off canvasing for a while, shy and haven't been able to convert anyone I know personally so didn't feel confident. Anyways this weekend I decided heck I gotta do something.
So I put 2 slimjims on the mailbox flag of every single address on the precinct list. Driving down the road after I was done it looked amazing seeing so many fliers, I put. Figured with the amount I put out it the message must have reached someone. Quantity is a good thing to. Just wanted to say this to encourage anyone else shy who hasn't really gotten out there.
Thank you
Mindstalker, congratulations. That's all it takes. Make canvassing a part of your daily routine and we all will reap the benefits of your conviction. We are influencing people we may never know about.

Yeap RP has become kinda like a part time job for me.
I talk about him every chance I get. I actually find that bars are a great place to strike up a conversation about RP and what he stands for. People seem to be open to such discussions in a social setting.
Go into other 'markets'
All of the suggestions I have seen that are working for others are great but I have discovered another that has worked for me.
We all tend to talk to each other via this venue and others about how wonderful President Paul is and what a great President he is going to make. We are "preaching to the choir" and, while this is good, it really does nothing to get his message outside of our group.
I have written a short email note, edifying Dr. Paul, with the link to the web site and a few of MY reasons for supporting President Paul and sent to my entire address book. I use Netscape mail so if I have ever sent a note to anyone the address is captured in this book. I am NOT talking about distribution lists that I set up or the like but the ENTIRE address book. Leave your contact info so folks can ask questions, etc. if they would like or gripe about 'spamming' them, etc. (You will get a few 'bounces' but don't worry about them.)
It's cheap, and effective since our MSM is not providing adequate coverage.

Canvassing!!
It works... Everyone where I live in GA is undecided. No other candidate is coming to their doors.
I'm handing out slims with a message
I stapled a 3 inch square note to every slim I handed out.
It has writing on both sides.
First side:
Your Choice for President from the
Republican Party is a short list:
Ron Paul Economics Expert
Anti-war, Anti-tax
Mitt Romney Windsock Politician
Which ever way the wind blows.
John McCain War, No other points
No economic understanding at all.
Vote Knowing that all others are out
of the race after Super Tuesday.
Make your vote count.
Questions .........call
on the back:
Taxes are killing this country.
The spending must stop. We owe
$330 Billion to China for War
Senator McCain has stated that he
“would not mind if we were in Iraq
100 years.” Who pays for that?
Gov Romney will not commit to any
statement on any subject. Watch him
closely wiggle and giggle.
Leadership for this country must focus
on our economy and quickly. We must
vote for a Republican who is a true blue
tax cutter.
Only Paul will go the distance!!
Phone won't stop. Mostly asking who is Paul.
Wow - Phone calls won't stop - That's great.
This list shows that many different things work. The key is to find the ones that work best for each situation.
Thanks to everyone. The more ideas the better!

my canvassing went excellent - here is my shmeil
I have become a precinct captain and canvassed 43 republican households today. 10 people answered the door. 6 were undecided and were happy to learn and take info. 1 said she was sold by the time I taught my 6th fact.
-----------
Info packet attached, contains:
• Canvass letter (sign your name in pen, write on the cover – HI NEIGHBOR)
• Slim jim
• Video promo (go to www.DiscoverRonPaul.com)
----------
• Hi, I’m Tony I’m from University St 4 blocks away.
• Are you voting in the Republican Primary in about 10 days on February 5th?
• Do you know who your voting for?
o If yes, state – Well how about considering watching some short videos on another candidate Ron Paul who placed 2nd in the Nevada and Louisiana Primaries? Here you are.
o If not sure? See below
Well, I really, don’t want to preach to you, - Do you use the Internet?
o Here is some info, (hand them the canvass trifolded with the slim and promo tucked inside. As you open it to show the video promo, then refold, and are handing it over, say; well, let me just say some quickies. RON PAUL is … (rattle the following off as fast as you can!)
• For Liberty, Freedom and believes in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
• He has outstanding integrity and is a superb economist.
• He is a 10 term congressman from Texas.
• He has been married to the same woman for 50 years.
• He is a doctor who has delivered more than 4, 000 babies and has the answers concerning our health system.
• He has never voted to raise taxes, for an unbalanced budget, or to increase the power of the executive branch.
• He will get rid of the IRS, and the income tax. Our income tax goes to pay off the interest on the 1 trillion dollars we borrow each year.
• He voted to pursue Osama bin Laden because we were attacked first. But did not want us policing Afghanistan.’
• He voted against the Iraq war because we were not attacked.
• He is against the ID card, you know the card has a chip in it that can track you, don’t you?
• He does not receive money from lobbyists, special interests, or corporations.
• He just made history and raised 6 million dollars in 24 hours, and it came from people like you and I.
• This is an opportunity of a lifetime, please watch the videos, and vote for this great man on February 5th. And also, please tell any other Republicans you know.
If the conversation is going well, continue with more facts.
o Back the dollar with gold to maintain the strength of the dollar and you purchasing power.

Very Important - I do not walk up and hold anything in my hands. Like the handout, canvass spreadsheet, clipboard. I just have the stack of trifold packets tucked in my inside jacket chest pocket. My spreadsheet is folded and in my back pocket.
I remember when, well not long ago,(more like two months) if I see anybody walking up to my house where it s looking like a survey, I sometimes don't even answer the door.
Get out there! Time is short!

My wife was having a phone interview today for a new position and was asked the typical "Tell me a situation in which your were inspired to do something and what did you do?" She dropped Dr Pauls name and went on about handing out slim jims, posting signs and wearing Ron Paul swag. It was great. I think she actually converted her interviewer.

Volume
January 23rd Reno Nevada, 2 days after our caucus when many had stepped down their efforts, 8 of us rallied in downtown Reno with a megaphone I bought for $79.95 at radio shack. We had only a few stragglers join our rally directly, but many many more stopped to listen. We had two 15' long banners, one saying "It's not Advanced Interrogation, it is Torture" and the other saying "Equality and Justice for all" and a number of smaller official and homemade signs.
Downtown reno used to be populated with many casinos, but due to our lower cost of living and no state sales tax the Californians have come in huge numbers and have quite literally taken over northern Nevada and turned most of our casinos into condos. We used that to our advantage.
Standing in a park between 8 large condos I spoke for 2 hours through a megaphone and had people come out on their balconies by the score as I was yelling such one liners as "The Federal Reserve is organized crime", "End the logic of Empire, restore the Republic" and "Support our troops, bring them home" as well as longer speeches explaining in greater detail about such things as Dr Paul having the highest military donations, the Real ID, us going to war under the UN flag and the UN being unelected and thus undemocratic, and my personal favorite "We hold these truths to be self evident. that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. That among these are Life, LIBERTY and the pursuit of happiness.".
We drew large numbers of listeners and could be clearly heard for blocks in every direction. It was very effective. At one point a Reno Police officer drove by and I thought he was going to ask us to stop with the megaphone...but he smiled, nodded and gave us the peace sign as he drove away :)
Heh heh heh Good for you!!!

Nice job. Tell them to
Nice job. Tell them to donate for liberty!!! Others in your area should join to show a larger group. People need to understand that RP has a large following so get in touch with your precincts to have more peeps show up. And record it so we can see on youtube!!!
Can you guys get some footage of that?
How many people do you think heard the message?
a LOT of people heard us
I do not know exactly how many people heard us...but I guarentee we made an impact!
People came out to sit on their porches, in the snow, to listen to us!
...even though there were only 8 of us, that was all we needed to make a BIG statement.
(Hint. Hint. Ok, I'll flatout say it...get a group together in your area. Even if it's a small group, your dedication can outweigh your numbers.)
I'll try to get some pictures and short video clips, though I'll be relying on my cameara-not a camcorder.
...and yes, we must all encourage everyone we know to donate as much as they can as often as they can in order to achieve a free country. (Besides, your federal reserve notes are only going down in value, right?)

Look someone in the eye and say, "What would you think if
Look someone in the eye and say, "What would you think if America merged with Canada and Mexico, and eventually into a New World Order/One World Government?"
They will say something like "Oh, that could NEVER happen...we would NOT let that happen...."
Then you calmly but firmly explain to them that this is a very real threat indeed. And you get to school them on CFR, NAU, NWO etc etc and how all other candidates are part of the Ultimate Plan.
Except for Ron Paul.
This is the approach that has worked best for me.
