meetup

In any campaign, the most valuable resource you have is time. People think it is money, but you can always find some money or a way of working around problems. We have all been extremely creative, and this whole campaign is a testament that there is more than one way to run for office. For instance, it was the grassroots that made the campaign become really popular rather than the other way around, and this shows that we can be adaptable. This is great.

I spent a good amount of time thinking about how to present the suggestions I wanted to put out to you about ways to organize a Meetup more effectively, and I think the most benefit can be had by going step-by-step. In our group, it was through the response to challenges we faced that we created our own solutions, and as a general principle, I think that is what you want to be: flexible and adaptable. Different places require different techniques, and please read these suggestions with that always in mind, that these are just ideas that may be helpful.

I want to thank Michael for opening up this blog for me. I'm actually the Organizer of the Pittsburgh Meetup, and I want to use this site as means to help share good ideas amongst groups about how to get the message out there about Ron Paul. We have been fortunate to have a good amount of success in our area, and from having spoken to a number of the Organizers, both through Meetup and Facebook, we have learned some important things.

My meetup group is heading to Times Square this afternoon to spread the Ron Paul Pro-Freedom message. And you can watch them “Live” in Times Square, Saturday August 4th, 2007 at 4 p.m. (EST).
This is also going to be an experiment. I had a great idea about utilizing the Times Square Earth Cam. Let's see if it works.

Make sure you select Cam2. They should be gathering around 4 p.m. EST. In case anyone wants to stop by and check it out.
