Hi everyone,
In the interest of promoting Ron Paul for the presidency, I have decided to start an on campus organization to gather support, as well as discuss and spread his ideas. The college I go to is Wentworth Institute of Technology which is prominently made up of engineering and architecture students. From the students I have spoken with I'd say it's a 50/50 split between a) never heard of Ron Paul or b) voting for Ron Paul in November. Then again, I've only talked with less than 20 people.
My question is what should be my primary focus and message. What is the best way to target the minds of these college students age 18-22. As president of the club I have the ability to put posters all around the school, host discussions and forums, send mass emails to everyone, set up booths in the cafeteria, hand out fliers, pins, t-shirts, etc. I think I have a great opportunity here and really want to take advantage of it.
The hot button issues for my age group seem to be
-legalization of marijuana
-wars overseas
-the state of the economy
Many students do not take an active interest in politics but I hope my enthusiasm and energy can shed some light on the subject. I hope you all can give me some ideas and talking points as I will be doing a lot of speaking in front of audiences. As a strict libertarian myself I don't want to blend my views with Paul's too much, but I do largely share the philosophic principles of freedom with him. So where should I draw the line there?
Thanks in advance
