You forgot one of the first grassroots efforts
My feelings are hurt.
The Granny Warriors have been working for nearly a year on this effort to promote Dr. Paul with very little support. Please add us onto your grassroots listing.
We will be on the road to Texas tomorrow and believe me we do make a impact on people. I have given out over 20,000 Slim Jims in the past few months, over 1000 DVD's and Bumper stickers, buttons which we make ourselves to save money and not have to buy them. Every gas station, grocery store, mall and shopping center is a place for action and the high way is a way of letting thousands of people see the name and something about him along the way. Not counting the hundreds of truckers we speak to daily on the CB.
We will be broadcasting from the roads on this trip with our own radio show also. People can call in and talk, find out what others are saying and doing.

Thank you for your correction.
Dearest Ladies,
Please accept my humblest apologies! Surely you know no slight was meant as this is simply the naive and stumbling work of a newbie to the grassroots, whose efforts to get a better lay of the land for himself was thought might provide some small service to others in a similar predicament. If your blurb -- both in the originating post and the bottom comment (search for "DennisLinks: Support Canvassing")-- should not meet with your approval, by all means, please contact me.
Thank you. Having seen you at the Boston Tea Party, I would have to be worse than naive to question your dedication and your effective contribution to the ...

Winning one of the january primaries
I think I will contribute to efforts that give us the best chance of winning one of the early primaries. If we can do that, then most of our financial troubles will be gone.
So the best chance of doing that is by funding the campaign efforts that are up, ready and good in quality. And several of the grassroot efforts fit that description. Till january 15th, I would not donate to the official campaign as they will not be able to use the money. I also happen to think that the quality of their ads etc is not great!
Here is the new JBlack site for contributions...

Great thread... links?
Hey, thanks for putting this together. Could you add links to some of the sites coordinating these? Then it could be used more like a master directory than just a list...
Links are in the Comments Section at the End
Yes you are right!!!! Including links in the original post would be best! I wish I could... :(
I tried for a whole day to post this with the links embedded in the opening post, but there must be some setting that flags any post with lots of links as SPAM. :( Let's just say that I've probably had more posts deleted because it was "SPAM" than most here.
I finally figured out the problem and divided up the links in comments below. If you know somebody who can relax these SPAM identification rules for this particular topic, please ask him to.... I've sent some emails but no response yet.
To find the appropriate links, please page to the last comments of this topic to find the most current links for all the above efforts.
To have your activity included, please add a comment up here and I'll add your favorite contribution to the listing of the first post, and I'll add the link to it to the comments at the bottom of this topic.
Sorry for the inconvenience. :)

You can also contribute to the campaign by acquiring one of these signs: http://ronpaulrevolutions....
They are AWESOME Ron Paul Revolution Light Signs...!
The avid supporters running this site and operation, hope to get these signs everywhere. There will be ones to plug into ciggarrette lighters for back windows soon! You can get two sizes now, 4x8 and 2x4 feet, on stands or for hanging on walls.
http://ronpaulrevolutions...
The organziers are from the Bakersfield, CA Ron Paul Meetup 219. They are working for practically free! The signs will obviously help the campaign as they are lit during darkness. Thousands and maybe millions of views per sign is to be expected, AWESOME! Check out the pics here: http://ronpaulrevolutions...
Get one for yourseld, your meetup, and your friends and family!
time for steady stream of donations
& an end to money "bombs"..its now time for a weekly or bi-weekly donations...a little bit here.. little bit there... agree with whoever stated that when the money bombs start failing to outdo the previous one,the MSM will seize the opportunity & declare the campaign has lost steam or whatever they will call it..

Freedom Lover, I've added your link below in the comment on Signs.
Welcome to the Tax Free Tips Act - Keep The Tips!
I'm in Washington County, PA, 20 min. south of Pittsburgh.
What we do is mine restaurant email addresses and phone numbers
from the internet. www.opentable.com
We then send the email below or call and ask for an email
address. Its really very simple, powerful and it doesn't cost
anything but your time and energy.
We are targeting primary states and areas where Ron Paul will
be speaking. Eventually we will hit the whole country.
If you want to be a little more adventurous and experience
first hand how enthusiastic people are, you can call phone
numbers too. Call using the script below. It's awesome.
It's very simple. Just call and say,
"I'm a volunteer and there is a bill before Congress that would
make tips/gratutities tax free. We need to mobilze the servers
to contact their Congressmen to get this bill passed. Congress
won't do it unless we tell them to. I just need an email
address to send all the information to you. It will link you
right to your Congressman and you can just send them an email.
What email address do you want me to send it to? Thanks!"
Its fast, free, easy and EXPLOSIVE!
Using this strategy alone we could make Ron Paul the $100
Million Man EVERY MONTH!
But more importantly restaurants more than any other business,
have more contact with politically active people than any
business on the face of the earth.
Restaurant owners are political contributors.
That means delegate impact too.

Welcome and I hope you enjoy using this powerful campaign tool.
Please copy and paste the email below.
*Tax Free Tips Act of 2007*
On Sep. 25, 2007, Congressman Ron Paul introduced H.R.3664, the
"Tax
Free Tips Act of 2007" If you're in the restaurant business,
this law will affect you. It will make all gratuities (tips)
tax free which will benefit both wait-service personnel and
bar/restaurant owners. With some fourteen million
waiter/waitresses across the
country, not to mention the bar/restaurant owners themselves,
an enormous amount of pressure can be put on Congress to pass
this legislation. That is... if you and your colleagues get
busy....very busy...and now!
It's not hard and will only take you a few minutes.
Here is the information you need to distribute in order to get
Congress
to pass the TAX FREE TIPS ACT. The politicians in Washington
are not
going to pass this unless you speak up. You and the millions
of service
workers across America .
Ready to get started??
1. Email/call your Congressman http://www.house.gov/writ...
The above link will take you to a page entitled "Write Your representative".
What shall you write? The most important thing you want to say is...
"PLEASE CO-SPONSOR AND SUPPORT H.R. 3664 "
For the rest be brief and polite. Telling them that their feet
stink and they don't love God won't win us any support.
Thousands e-mails and phone calls pouring into each office of
congress will. Be brief, polite and firm about what you want.
2. Print this flyer and show it to others in your industry. If
possible, print out several and give your friends a copy to
hang in the break room where they work, (With management
permission of course!)
http://www.nhlibertycalen...
3. Print this and post in break room and manager's office.
(this is a pdf file and may take a few moments to load)
http://files.meetup.com/5...
4. Forward this email to all of your contacts and join the TAX
FREE TIPS ACT Meetup group to receive updates. The Meetup Group
link http://ronpaul.meetup.com...
Together we will put billions of dollars into the hands of the
service workers of America.
Thank You!

Hi, Freedom Now
This seems like a dupe of something that you posted below.
Please would you zero out one or the other? I'd like plenty of room for alternatives to be listed.
Better yet, could you simply link to your node where you talk about this in more detail.
I have included a one sentence description in the top post and your link in the comment on links.

Getting the info out on how to become delegates
Should be top priority especially given the fact that some states have already passed deadlines to register or switch parties.
A lot of people have never voted before and you just don't walk up and vote. It's way complicated and there are lots of rules and regulation. I noticed alot of comments in the NPR article comments section that poster's were still democrats. Newsflash: You can't vote in a republican primary if you're still a democrat. It's stuff like this that needs to be discussed NOW - not after it's too late. We need every vote.
I posted about this a day or so ago and no one was able to give good solid answers. There needs to be centralized information on HOW TO VOTE, WHEN TO REGISTER, DO's and DON'T's.
