Synergy Explosion!!
Submitted by fanofwalt on Wed, 02/06/2008 - 14:00Synergy: the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.
Now with Super Tuesday behind us and the earlier states having already completed their primaries and caucuses, about half the states are done with the first major push of the campaign season. Finally, those of us whose primaries are done can forget about sign-waving, slim-jim distributing, and phone calling! Ahhh, rest and relaxation.
Uh, wait a minute -- there's still about half the country yet to vote.
So, yeah, we can kick back and watch the other states as we compliment ourselves on our worthy past efforts, and hope that they accomplish more than we did...
...or...
...we can ramp up, bond with our brothers and sisters in the upcoming states, and double the amount of supporters they thought they had.
Wouldn't you have just loved it, if your MeetUp group had instantly doubled in size, and all the new members were experienced, die-hard, fully committed and active Ron Paul supporters? Imagine!!
Let's coordinate. Find a way to allocate ourselves proportionally to the remaining states (that may be the tricky part, and will require some research and planning -- maybe HQ is on this?). Hook up with precinct leaders in those places, tell them that even if we're on the opposite side of the country, we can place phone calls, type emails, send letters to voters, write letters to the editor in their town's newspaper, forward any leftover signs or materials we have, and generally assist them in any way possible.
Now perhaps this is already coordinated, and I just don't know about it. (And if that's the case, then perhaps others don't know about it, and the word hasn't gotten out effectively.)
So, is this project already set up? Someone, kindly point me in the right direction.
If this is not yet set up -- let's do it HERE.
Thoughts -- ideas -- suggestions -- plans -- let's hear it!
We need help in RP's district
I brought this very topic up at our meetup last night. Our meetup mailed letters to other states. Now, we really need letters sent to Texas. We could use letters to our newspaper also.
Here is the address:
The Brazosport Facts
PO Box 549
Clute, Texas 77531
Our meetup group sends letters to the editor regularly. However, there have been some negative letters recently. We could use some outside support.
Also, there will be a Ron Paul Rally this Sunday at the Lake Jackson, Texas civic center on hwy 332 in Lake Jackson beginning at 1:30 to 4:00 pm with the good Dr. here himself. Dr. Paul's Congressional opponent will be having a meet and greet at the same location within the same time frame. We could really use a large crowd there in support of RP in his home district.
Hope you can help us out!
Remaining States
Ron Garcia kindly provided a list of remaining states and their primaries/caucuses, in an entry posted here. Cross-posting so more eyes will see this important data!

RI and VT
Any RP supporters in RI or VT, looking for help or campaign literature, let me know. I'm in MA and have some stuff left. I'm more than willing to meet-up with you and hand off anything I've got. But, I'm still saving a bumper sticker for my coffin! I'm never giving up on Dr. Paul or Liberty!
bump this. we could use some
bump this. we could use some help in williamson county which is north Austin. We are making great headway but lack boots on the ground. message me if you are interested. We should hold a massive rally in Austin!!! its a perfect location, right in the middle of the state with short drive time from major cities.
More Direction
Headquarters and the grassroot campaign have done a great job but I also feel that now is the time for some very specfic directions out of headquarters to maximize our results over the next few months. This is critical as time is running short and most of us have never been involved with a presidential campaign. I would also like it if Dr. Paul where to say that he is intersted in looking at 2012 and running for President again.
Thank you.

I Am Ron Paul
Yep, I agree with you; I'd love to have more coordination and specific cues from HQ. And I've already contacted HQ on this very topic, but haven't yet heard back.
And if direction on this project is not forthcoming from HQ...do we shrug? Do we sigh and say, it's their fault?
This is OUR revolution. RP is just the inspirational man (God bless him!) leading the charge right now. But this whole paradigm shift is up to US.
I've never been involved in any campaign. But I know that when people wait around for "someone else" to get a job done, it won't get done. As you point out, time is running short. That does not mean it is time to panic. Let's shrewdly apply ourselves in the remaining hours of this campaign to explode the support Ron Paul (and We The People!) deserves.
Taking the bull by the horns here...we've heard from one group in Texas; let's hear some more!!
Heck Yea!! We can
Heck Yea!! We can definitely use your help in South Texas!! We have 33 members in Cameron County Meetup.... and most of us are precinct captains, except we canvass 1 1/2 hours in our precinct and then canvass other precincts that are not covered... this is daily. We don't have near enough precinct captains to cover all the precincts. So Anything would help....!
Thanks!
NONE BUT PAUL!
BTW, our Meetup is #1009
