Ambiguous much? Why not just have in-staters vote in said state poll so we all know what the rules are up front w/o the bs.. I mean, this isn't Ames or anything.

Because if 100 Cain supporters show up, they are fine, but if 40 Ron Paul supporters show up, the results would be voided. In some places we have 50% of the 18-29 vote. We can win this.

Whatever. I predict we win with 53% of the vote and it get completely ignored. The usual

Denying Cain the headlines. Completely worth it.

You folks in Alabama BETTER come through after we in Ohio pulled it off. You know you don't want people saying that Paul supporters in Alabama are less effective at getting out the vote than Ohioans!

I live in AL and I will do my best to get a few people down there = )

I am going with Auburn YAL.

My sister lives in Alabama and she says no one she knows there has even heard of Ron Paul. So, there is a lot of work to do there.

Good for you! Make sure you plaster something about this in the Ag school. There should be at least 25-50 there who are ticked at the current Administration's proposed over-regulations concerning small ag.

I am in Prattville, Al and require transporation.

I need to know as soon as possible if someone can pick me up.


Most of the Ron Paul supporters that are bunched and active are in Birmingham.

I hate to be the Negative Nancy, but living in Alabama I am not optimistic of the outcome of this one.

I base that on face to face conversations with people and the lack of any major internet activism.

I originally came to this forum in search of local activists and the state thread is near dead.

Our University Contingent is our best hope.

I have not even made a reservation since I don't have transportation.

Name of the game: Prevent Defense

Come on Alabama don't allow the media to trumpet a Cain victory for weeks on end. Win one for the good guys!

 

[Aratus]

they will

Oh so true.... This is flip flop candidate country.... aka Perry one day, Cain the next.

There are a LOT of people out there like that. My mom had never seen a pic of Ron Paul before and had never heard him speak. She knew OF him because he has been mentioned a little bit on talk radio. She said she's gotten campaign literature from all of the candidates EXCEPT Ron Paul. (she's a registered Republican)

My sister was similarly ignorant of Dr. Paul.

We have to work on the premise that the mainstream media is NEVER going to give him a break, let alone a PUSH, and that the mischaracterizations will continue. It is up to EACH ONE of us to get the word out.

We need an 8 1/2 x 11 flyer that we can run copies of that outlines all of his positions and addresses some of the nonsense that we see circulating about him ("weak on defense", etc). I think I'll start working on one unless someone already knows of a good one....
