I have a few suggestions below on how we can improve the campaign - in a nut shell, it amounts to DIFFERENTIATION. We need to clearly differentiate Dr. Paul from the other candidates.
In my view, the three most important reasons we need Dr. Paul in the White House are:
The War / Foreign Policy
The Relentless Attack on Our Civil Liberties
Monetary Policy / Economy
The first thing I think the Campaign should do is produce a Slim Jim for EACH of these issues.
What it boils down to is this - we face an uphill battle because the people of this country are to a large extent ignorant of the issues AND they are also not aware as to how/why Dr. Paul is different from each and EVERY one of the other candidates.
Because our fellow citizens are generally unaware of the threats facing this country we need to EDUCATE them.
The War / Foreign Policy - this Slim Jim could discuss "Blowback" in further detail, it could discuss how we spend over $650 billion per year on defense (which is more than every other nation in the world combined!), it could discuss how we went into Iraq on false pretenses, etc, etc. Most importantly it would point out that Dr. Paul's position is that we BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW.
The Relentless Attack on Our Civil Liberties - this Slim Jim should discuss the various pieces of legislation that have been passed that undermine our civile liberties - Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act of 2006, Homegrown Terrorism Act, National ID Card, etc, etc. The Bush administration has given us plenty of Ammo to use in our fight. We should highlight the dangers inherent in each of these pieces of legislation and then compare and contrast the VOTING RECORDS of all of the other candidates.
Similar to the charts found here:

Again, we need to DIFFERENTIATE! Just look at the charts at the link above - very quickly it becomes clear just how Ron Paul is different from ALL of the other candidates.
Monetary Policy / Economy - saying Dr. Paul will stop the Inflation Tax is not enough. We need to clearly explain what the inflation tax is! This topic is very confusing to most people - we need to EDUCATE them!
Perhaps discuss how the price of gas has (mostly) remained constant over time in terms of silver.
Discuss how monetary policy impacts our national debt - discuss how much each American's share of the national debt is.
Maybe even discuss that we have borrowed so much from China ($1.3 Trillion and counting) that we have given the Chinese the power to collapse the dollar (and by extension) our Economy.
Let's get on the offensive. Let's point out the voting records of ALL of the other candidates on these issues and Dr. Paul has been consistent and different.
Here's what we should not be doing:

The billboard in this link is a complete waste of money in my opinion.
It in now way jumps out at me or DIFFERENTIATES Ron Paul from the other candidates.
Instead of:
Ron Paul
- End the War in Iraq
- Strengthen the Economy
- Secure our Borders
Perhaps we should say:
Ron Paul
- Bring the Troops Home Now!
- Stop the US Dollar Collapse
- Secure our Borders
SUGGESTION FOR ALL RON PAUL FOOT SOLDIERS:
Last night, when I turned on Anderson 360, I was excited to see an army of Ron Paul supporters in the background trying to gain exposure for our guy. While, I am delighted to see all of the Ron Paul “Hope for America” signs, we also need to be display signs that describe Dr. Paul’s platform.
Many people in this country have still NEVER heard of Dr. Paul - so we need to use every opportunity to not only get his name out, but display what he stands for. So carry a Hope for America sign in one hand and maybe a “Bring the Troops Home Now!” or “Defend our Civil Liberties” or “No More IRS” sign in the other.
These are my suggestions – I welcome any and all feedback / criticism.
Again it boils down to EDUCATION and DIFFERENTIATION.
