I Went Canvassing In Oregon Today

Great resources, including names and phone numbers of registered voters so you can zero in on the most likely converts.

If this had come out last fall, things would have been very different.

Canvassing works. i brought my puppy along with me. It helped break the ice.

This is great - a good way to meet your neighbors and get the RP message out at the same time!

When I was canvassing here in Bham, my district got 84% more votes for RP than the two neighboring districts where canvassing was not done. Canvassing works. Keep track of the RP supporters and:

Ask them to place a yard sign.
Ask them for their Phone # so you can call them on voting day.
Direct them to Daily Paul.
Invite them to canvass with you.
Get them to go to the caucus if applicable.

Ask the supporters you find if you can place a Ron Paul 2008 sign in their yard. This builds momentum.

Apparently there's a Constitutionally guaranteed right to talk politics that trumps any local ordinance against soliciting, and the courts are willing to uphold it (probably to make sure the politicians are happy).

You can also call people about politics, even if they're on the Do-not-Call list.

You should be really proud of what you've accomplished.

Back when I was canvassing Los Angeles, I would get 1 or 2 RP, 20 McCain, 5 Romney, and the rest no interest/no answer.

So, I'd say Oregon has a lot more potential than California.

Keep it up and thanks for the post!

I just love canvasing stories. I have a magneted hope for america sign on my car. People will come up and talk to me, usually with the comment that he can't win. I always say, well, who else are ya gonna vote for? I'm voting for him if I have to write him in, just so "they" will know how many of us know about them, and despise them.

I hit a few homes yesterday and I had a funny one.
This guy had a sign in his front yard for someone running for a county position. He said the guy was his friend he hadn't even being paying attention to who was running for president. After looking over the Ron Paul slim jims that I gave him he agreed to vote for Ron Paul if I voted for his friend.
I told him he had a deal and we shook on it..

but after I did it once I felt encouraged to do it again. I was so proud of myself. Bravo, to you and your efforts. Peace

I used to live in Longview, Wa... I always had to drive to your side of the river for any real fun.. ;)

We haven't canvassed much, yet, but are getting signs up like crazy on our main highway. Last night we had another sign painting and painted 3 more 4 X 8s to put up.
