The Neighbor to Neighbor Campaign

The Following is an idea that someone created. Its called the Neighbor to Neighbor Campaign. Here is how it works.

You send out the following letter to 5-10 neighbors, houses you pass by when driving to work, people you think might be interested or really anyone you can get an address for.

The envelope must be handwritten. The actual letter inside will be typed.

Return address: Your neighbor
(Insert city, State Zip)

To: My Neighbor
(Insert their address)

Dear Neighbor,

I am writing you to let you know about my choice for President of the United States, and why I thought it was important for you to know about him as well. First, I want you to know this is not from any official campaign, there are thousands of letters just like this one been sent to neighbors all around the country, and its being done by regular people like you and I with our own money and on our own time, and most importantly we are doing this because we all want our country to get back on track.

Every four years it seems like we always have to hold our noses and vote for someone we really don't like, just so the other candidate who is worse doesn't win. Why is this? The answer is that the media picks out who they want you to see and hear from the very beginning. From those few choices you get to decide who the President will be. This year is no different, the choices the big tv networks parade in front of you are the only candidates you have probably heard of or listened to.

This year has to be different, the American people are really fed up,
and believe it or not there is someone out there that you don't have to hold your nose to vote for.

This year you have a choice to elect a candidate that is consistant, principled and honest (YES - I said honest can you believe that).
What is more unbelievable, he actually has a chance to WIN!!

Here are a few things that I want you to know about my candidate:

1) He has been a US Congressman for over 20 years. So obviously
the people in his district respect his voting record because they
keep re-electing him.

2) He has NEVER voted for a tax increase.

3) He gives away most of his Congressional Salary.

4) He does not accept his Congressional Pension.

5) He's a doctor and has delivered over 4000 babies.

6) He is the most searched name on the internet - more than Paris
Hilton, the I phone etc.

7) He has placed first or second in more State Straw Polls than any
other candidate. In the last televised debate which drew over
3 million viewers, he finished in first place in the poll on who won
the debate. He received 33% of the vote, the next closest
candidate received only 18% of the vote.

8) He is a veteran of the Vietnam War

9) At the time of this letter, he has over 40,000 registered
campaign volunteers. The most ever for a campaign.

10) He is for protecting your security, without you giving up your
individual rights and liberty.

You may ask so what else does he stand for? Thats where you come in. Every American should be informed about who they elect, and now its easier than ever. Please take the time to find out why Dr. Ron Paul has the fastest growing campaign for President, and why everyday Americans like you and I are joining him.

For more information on Dr. Ron Paul you can go to www.ronpaul2008.com or simply "google" Ron Paul. If you don't have internet you can call 1-800-Ron Paul or 1-703-248-9115

If you find you agree with Ron Paul and want to see him elected, please copy this letter, sign or initial it with your city and state and send it out to 5 more people you think may be interested in seeing Ron Paul elected as our next President of the United States.

Signature here

Now go out there and get votes for Ron Paul!

Question

I started writing letters to people in New Hampshire, but then I thought of something.. The names/addresses from the Huffington Post are for people who have donated money to a campaign. If they donated to a democrat, they are likely registered as a democrat and will not be able to vote in the republican primary. If they donated to a republican, they are likely pro-war as all the republicans besides Ron Paul are pro-war. I guess I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time sending letters to people from this list..

Don't think thats the idea

I think the idea is to use random addresses from your neighborhood, not off some list

Help

YES, we need to get our hands on the registered voter list. Anyone ?

Can I throw something in here?

This thread is getting quite a bit of looks, so I thot I'd throw in an effective tool I have been using. My wife and I will go to various newspaper boxes and pay the .50 cents (.75 for USAToday) to get access to the stack of newspapers there. We will stick a slim jim info card into each paper, while holding the door open, then neatly set the stack back in and close the door.

We have gotten a couple of odd looks, but no one has stopped us.

We stuck some in the boxes outside our favorite breakfast cafe yesterday before we went in for breakfast. As we sat eating and having our coffee, we noticed several folks getting the slim jim flyer out and reading it. My wife heard on older couple say, "Here is that guy we saw on the debate". That put a smile on both of our faces!

Don't forget to keep the Tax On Tips letter going too! Our waitress's at a couple of places we frequent now refer to us as "those Ron Paul people". We ALWAYS have our RP buttons on too!

Thanks.

Can somebody update this?

Can someone make a current version of this letter? I fail miserably at writing and want to include more recent info like the current number of campaign volunteers, the most recent poll results, etc. Also, I think point number 8 needs to be clarified to say "Ron Paul served in the Air Force during the Vietnam war" just so it's not misleading.

Is this letter better?

My Dear Neighbor,

I, __________, have written you this letter from my own heart. I do not want sell you anything. I am doing this totally on my own. And No, I am not from any organization.

Question: If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, could he get elected President? Would big corporate media dismiss him because of his hair, his long speeches? What if there really was a Thomas Jefferson out there actually RUNNING for President? Would we know it? Would Big Media even allow a real Constitutionalist into the final debates?

So, Yes I am “bucking the system”. I am talking to you neighbor to neighbor. With this letter, I am hoping to get around the Big Media Corporate machine that runs politics these days. You know what I mean. There is only 90 days till the primaries, so let me tell you about my choice for President.

His name is Dr. Ron Paul, a baby doctor and 10-term Republican Congressmen from Texas. No, he is not a pro-war, big government, Bush Republican! Sadly you don’t get to hear much about him since the big corporate media will not shut up about Hillary and Rudy Giuliani. Big media, wants you and I, to “choose” between one New York liberal (pretending to be Conservative), and another New York liberal (pretending to be Conservative). That is not a “choice”! That’s not democracy, that’s more of the same!

Look, I am 46, and I love my country. I want to see real CHANGE, real ACTION. It’s simply unforgivable that Bin Laden has not been caught. The 2006 Democrats in Congress are rubber-stamping Bush’s failed policies. Furthermore, Hillary has voted for the war (twice) and even supports economic & military actions on Iran! Then she says she would ‘redeploy’ few troops out of Iraq, moving them here or there--whatever! That’s not a real change in America’s foreign policy, that’s double talk.

On the Republican side big media is giving us either, Giuliani-McCain-Thompson-Romney who say they like everything Bush is doing and HAS DONE. Good Gawd!

Do you agree with me? This country needs to totally change its foreign policies. We need a better way to fight terrorism. Do you agree? Attacking Iraq, threatening to attack Iran, is just horribly expensive bullying, and its wrong! It has nothing to do with catching Bin Laden in Pakistan. Come on people, this behavior causes more hatred towards Americans, and soon more terrorism. President Eisenhower warned us about the Military Industrial Congressional Complex and needless wars. With this letter, let us put a stop to it.

Here are 10 reasons to vote for Ron Paul in the Republican primaries—yes even if you are a Democrat.

1) Ron Paul is honest. He has a Congressional voting record that is clearly in line with the Constitution, FOR a smaller federal government, FOR State Rights, FOR civil rights, FOR equality before the law, FOR individual property Rights, FOR the first amendment & the 2nd amendment, and FOR ALL the Bill of Rights.

2) Ron Paul votes against big business corporate welfare, government spending, tax increases, and most importantly, he voted against Bush’s Iraq war of preemptive war. Just like the Constitution, Ron Paul is 100% against a foreign policy of interventionism that keeps getting we Americans involved in unnecessary wars.

3) Ron Paul’s voting record is for small federal government, like Jefferson intended.

4) Ron Paul votes for peace, non-intervention, and free trade, like Washington intended.

5) Ron Paul voted against Bush’s Iraq War, Military Commission Act, Patriot Act, the national Id, why? Because sacrificing liberty for security is always wrong.

6) Ron Paul is a baby doctor by trade and has delivered over 4000 babies and has been married to the same woman for over 50 years.

7) Ron Paul is a veteran of the Vietnam War, served 5 years. He is a “small government is best” Republican, like Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, and is, “a champion of the Constitution”.

8) Ron Paul has over 128,000 totally unpaid volunteers – Like me!.

9) Ron Paul is for protecting your security, protecting our borders, and a strong national defense HERE AT HOME, all without you giving our precious rights and civil liberties.

10) Dr. Ron Paul won each Televised TV debate. He has place 1st or 2nd in 30 straw polls nationwide ; that’s impressive, but mainstream media likes to talk only about pro-war Hillary and pro-war Giuliani. That is why I joined his grassroots “Ron Paul Revolution”.

For more information on Dr. Ron Paul, go to www.ronpaul2008.com search Ron Paul’s name on the internet using “google” or “youtube”. You can also call 1-800-Ron Paul or 1-703-248-9115 for more information. Please, get to know him.

Look, don’t accept the pro-war Hillary VS pro-war Giuliani a your “choice”. Can you agree with me, an anti-war, small government, Ron Paul conservative VS a pro war, big government, liberal Hillary Clinton would be a real choice for our country? Please, the democratic vote is all locked up with Bill & Hillary Clinton. That means we need a real Choice on the other side.

Thanks for listening. Your neighbor,

PS. Please copy this letter, make this a chain letter and send it out to 10 more people. I promise you the GODS of Democracy & Freedom will grant you health and happiness. This is one of 50 original letters that I have created. I hope you will make copies of this letter and send it to some of your friends? Yes, it can be a chain letter, with your help.

The "real" commentary here...

How many of us "know our neighbors?" Yup, we live in different days, don't we?

Fortunately I have a very active neighborhood where we have a local community center, hold Bar-B-Q's still and an occasional pool party at rotating homes. Not a "rich" neighborhood by any means, but many of us come from smaller towns (as opposed to Dallas, where we now live) and want to make at least our part of Dallas a little "smaller" and more "friendly" to those who live there and those who might move in.

The real commentary here is "get to know your neighbors." Far beyond the political benefits, there are the many social benefits as well. I loved the letter put forth on here and will have no problem hand-carrying it to the doors of three streets adjacent to where I live. I don't know "everyone" on these blocks, but hopefully by the end of this effort I will, and already have a good start :-)

Great idea, bedr1, and "thank you" for posting!

I am already working on this for my state of Arizona, so Contact me here trey4600@yahoo.com and I will help you with 5 pre-designed Ron PAUL POST CARDS, each one which stresses a different theme. Be sure to leave a phone number. I have a source which can get us the post cards cheap, or you can find one in your local area. GO GO GO RON PAUL !! Treg

First came the Jahova Witnesses, now this?

When I was growing up, we had things like block parties, and tupperware parties, and families car pooled their kids to things like drive-in movies. While there may be Soccer Moms driving kids to events, for the most part, it is my observation that most people don't know their naighbors and don't want to know their neighbors. Some neighborhoods I have moved to since growing out of my parents house have Christian groups going door to door. I don't turn them away, and they have told me horror story to horror story about what MY neighbors did to them, which includes pulling out a shot gun and pointing it at them. many people buy NO SOLICITATION signs and post them on the front door. While I'm not wanting to argue if this is good or bad, I am going to point out, that your idea, well meaning, is not going to be very successful.

Let me tell you what is working for me. Most communities have events, such as mine, where we have Town hall Meetings, or events where an issue is being presented by a panel of "experts", and the community has the opportunity to discuss the issue.

Last night our Town Hall had a forum on Healthcare. Since Michael Moore's movie, "Sicko", which was played in our small theatre with a table for those wanting H.R. 676 (conyers) SB 480 (Kuehl) CA (basically the same), collected signatures and has been working on educating the community on this issue for months now, this was the focal point last night, to continue to sell this bill.

So I put on my Ron Paul tee shirt I got from my visit to the Eureka Meetup and I armed myself with all NINE H.R.s on the floor, Dr. Paul's script from LewRockwell.com he made at congress, studied the other bills, took notes and went to the Town Hall meeting with an ink pen. I scanned the table for any literature I had not seen, and took a seat. I listened and made notes. I made myself very visable about what I agreed that was said, after all, we all agree "America is sick", but what we don't agree is the solution.

When it was time for questions and answers, I took my turn, asking the panel questions, like, "There are nine healthcare bills. Aren't ALL of them called Universal Healthcare?" In otherwords, I was more informative to the audience than the panel, who focused on ONE resolution. And then I asked questions that I knew were important to my community but being overlooked or omitted by the panel. I recieved several rounds of applause, and the organizers were visablly shaken...I ended my SHORT time saying, "I believe we agree on the problem we are facing, but as a community we need to look at how better to protect ourselves. We all agree, America has a sick healthcare program, but I believe we need a doctor in the house."

Several of the organizers came to my seat and tried to engage me, but I held fast. The panel reacted to my message repeatedly, and spoke about what I had said, and in a positive way because I spoke the truth. I did not mention Ron Paul because that was the job of my tee shirt.

In the end, I was told, "You stole the show". And I guess I did because the meeting did not end as they had planned. It ended with the room divided on H.R. 676.

I reached 200 neighbors last night, and today, I bet they are still talking about last night, and Googling Ron Paul.

I'm ROCKIN FOR THE RON PAUL REVOLUTION 08!!! You can too.

Question for Granger

How do you inform people about Ron Paul that do not go to town meetings, that do not go to fairs, that come home after work and sit back and watch the nightly news? There is only one way to do that - its called direct mail and its how Ronald Reagan got elected. While the Neighbor to Neighbor idea is not mine, I thought it worthy of posting.

I am a business owner, I have 70 stores coast to coast and I can tell you Direct Mail is the cheapest and best way to compete in pinpoint markets.
It gets your message out.

The problem with alot of direct mail is it gets thrown away as junk and doesn't get read. The great thing about Neighbor to Neighbor is that you have to hand write the envelope, I would guess 100% of the people will open it and read it. What they do next is not known. The only way this can be done is with thousands of volunteers.

both of these are good ideas

What we want is to "hit" people in so many different ways, from so many different directions, that they will be swimming in "Ron Paul stuff" everywhere they look/listen. There's no need to argue over which method is best. Try whichever one(s) you want, report your results, and everybody can pick what they want to try next. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Granger's idea sounds very good, especially for those who are comfortable (or at least not terrified) speaking to a group. Sending letters is great for shy people. There are hundreds of ways to get the word out; try as many as you want!

It's ALL good!!

Granger I think you miss the point

Granger I think you miss the point of the post - you don't contact your neighbor door to door. Its totally anonymous. The addresses are random, just pick any, it doesn't matter. Your don't use your return address.

Not sure how many campaigns you have been on, but events like fairs, carnivals and other events are great. You might get people to actually take one of you slim jims or sheets. Town Hall meetings are for more informed individuals and if all voters were like that Ron Paul would already be elected. But those miss lots and lots of uninformed voters, and fairs carnivals etc your lucky to get someone who actually votes.

I think the idea of this campaign is to show how big a grassroots effort is out there for Ron Paul. To get then to learn more.

Three for Nader

Talk about Grass roots, and that campaign took me national on ballot access laws. VERY EDUCATIONAL.

This whole town knows me, they know all the Ron Paul stuff is mine.

The Queen of England was here two months ago. With Bohemian Grove so close allot of BIG time politicans come here ALL the time.

Why not Ron Paul?

by the way the Neighbor 2 Neighbor Campaign costs

by the way when I copied and pasted I left out the fact that the Neighbor 2 Neighbor Campaign cost around $2.50 for the envelopes and postage.

Cheap! 0.45 Cents is Cheap!

We just sent out 1000 letters. Cost was $452.

It was $410 for the stamps, and $42 for 1000 envelopes.

That is ONLY 0.45 Cents per letter! THAT IS CHEAP.

The is the cheapest way I know of to get the name RON PAUL in front of a registered voter.

HOA Newsletter

I paid $280 for a business card sized advertisement in my HOA newsletter and several other neighboring HOA newsletters, altogether mailed to 15,000 homes.

What about duplication?

I live in a small town. Our meetup group has about 50 members. Most of them read DailyPaul. I may not be the only one who would want to send letters out. So, what if some households receive more than one mailing ? Is this something I should worry about? I want to get the word out but I don't want to be annoying.

On second thought...

Never mind about the above question. Now that I think of it, it would probably not be near as annoying as what most of us get through the MSM on a very constant and relentless basis to the point of toxicity. The mailing is a wonderful idea. I can resolve the question of duplication by simply coordinating it with my meet-up group. It may be that some members would donate to the cause and we can do it in an organized, ordered way. On the other hand, it's all good I suppose. Different communities have different ways of looking at things.
