Yeah, but Lawson is in a pretty solidly Democratic district. Not to say that he doesn't have a chance, he does, but I wouldn't say he has hit yet.

He's a longshot, but it's possible. Just have to remember not to be disheartened if he doesn't win this election. Our movement is sortof reminiscent of a shotgun at the moment, we're shooting pellets and looking to see if any hit.

I'm hearing a lot about Hillsdale College in Michigan, but what are some other libertarian university strongholds?

Good to see that this didn't die out.

I suppose the major doesn't matter, as long as the intent is to go into politics with the Ron Paul ideology.

Bump, sorry for double post.

Well, like pretty much any scholarship, there would be an essay requirement.

Alright, so let's recap on what we've got organized and what's left. (Trying to catch up with you wily PMers, I feel so left out. ;_;) - Website designer acquired - Print ad costs being estimated tomorrow - Adam is paying for High Tide in the St. Paul market (probably the most expensive thing...

I realize that. I'm stating that if there's any way for us (the grassroots) to help them (the campaign) in getting Dr. Paul a speaking slot, we should help. That may by e-mails, letters, phone calls, whatever. It should be the priority of every Ron Paul supporter to help however he can in this...

Sorry, my rebuttal was a bit harsher than it should have been, but I'd like to nip wasteful ideas in the bud. We're on the tailend of our fundraising ability. It's still noteworthy, but it's not what it was, and we can't afford to waste a single cent. Furthermore, it's contrary to our very...

kombayn, wait a moment. This is another one of these situations where we need to look before we leap. Ron Paul pencils? What is the point of that? Why? T-shirts? Doesn't the campaign itself already sell those? Wouldn't we be doing a dual benefit by buying them straight from the campaign? Same...

We have to be smart about the quotes we use. Some will scare people away and be countereffective, it's been a running tragic gag of the campaign. Also, I see that you did not mention T.V. spots, radio spots, and helping get nearby supporters there cost-effectively. Are these things to be considered?

Why brainstorm in PMs? Do it right here on the forum. Anyway, you just said something contradictory. You said this isn't about getting him elected, it's about spreading the message. Then you say that there's no point in having the ads up a week early, since the delegates won't be there. Do you...

Let's get a real discussion started on this. Alright, you say the grassroots infrastructure. That sounds good. What is it? Let's get it on this. Let's start getting estimates of costs for this. Let's define what we want to do for this. Here're my suggestions for this: 1.) We get a sub-forum at...

*shrug* Crazy idea I had, but what about a scholarship fund for people who are going to major in political science and go into politics? I can't say that I came about this idea selflessly, I'll be entering college in fall of 2009 doing this. However, since most of the Revolution is young...
