Campaign - Call Iowans Program

[LibertyEagle]

I searched my spam folder and my inbox and could find no incoming list to call, after sending in my request to call iowa 5 days ago.. Anybody else not received a list yet?

If you're having trouble getting your list after multiple attempts, you might want to send a message to [email protected]

I got my numbers today. Called them all, notified the sender and in one hour had 100 more. I am stuck calling on the weekend because of cell phone calling plan restrictions. Is there a way to use the Internet to make long distance calls? (I am a technological moron). If so, any help and how to do so would be appreciated. And does it work? Wouldn't want to lose phone quality to save some money.

Skype

Skype

Is Skype free?

For me, Skype is $9 for 3 months. The problem with Skype is that your number does not show up on someone else's caller ID. It just comes up as unknown or something similar. Even if you buy a number that people can call. I guess the caller ID works in some countries though.

People are usually less friendly when they see an unknown and consider you a telemarketer.

My success and lack thereof

Well I have a list of 200 names that I am working on that live in the county where the staw poll is taking place. I was out of town on work related meetings so this evening was my first chance to call people. I was able to call 33 numbers within about 1 hour which I think was pretty decent. The bad part was that I mostly reached answering machines. There were 2 people that I talked with that seemed interested in RP but had not heard of him before. Those were both people in the younger generation like myself (29). The older people were, it seemed the more rude they were and more likely to just hang up on you.

If a person was to target a group to focus resources on, the under 35 group would probably have the best results. Although a friend of mine in his 70's thinks RP is great and is willing for me to post LARGE signs on his commercial property in Parkersburg, WV that receives a TON of traffic. Now I just need to make a good sign or two or ten or a hundred.

I hope to finish my list of numbers this week.

Anyone want to help me with my call list?

I have about 200 names and have called about 50 so far. My meetup group seems lazy and as of yet not helped me. I can contact the rest of my 200 names but if someone wants to help right now and speed things up I can email you part of my list along with instructions.

Hi Callers,

How is everyone doing? I got my list while I was gone on vacation and just got started today.
It is hard to find time to sit down and do this, but I want Ron Paul to win!
Everyone who is already calling- THANK YOU! To everyone else- please join us! Many hands make light work.

www.RonPaulLibrary.com is a good place to send them.

They can call 1-800-Ron-Paul for more info.

Great approach Jennifer.

Another suggestion for those without email/Internet: You can take down their snail mail address and send it to Scribbler de Stebbing (a member of the forum who posted to this thread) as she has offerred to send out Ron Paul DVDs.

I just signed up, hopefully I can get a list soon. To the people who have been calling how has the response been?

No, this approach didn't work.

Here is what worked much better:

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I am an unpaid volunteer who is supporting Congressman Ron Paul for President. I am not very good at these calls, I am terribly nervous. so um, have you heard of Ron Paul? If not, I launch into a list of things he is for or against, if so, I ask if they have specific questions.

They are much nicer to me if I tell them I am scared and nervous. (This may only work for girls though.)

One lady told me I was the only person of all the callers who she let talk to her because I was upfront with her.

One lady started by saying "why should I vote for a guy who has no chance of winning" to (an hour later) how can I get signs for my lawn and I can't wait to tell my friends about RP, even the democrats. I think they will like him too. I will go to the straw poll with the tickets Mitt Romney sent me and vote for RP. He must be the best kept secret in this campaign.

:[ I want to be like you. I need to start getting active, and you seem to have it nailed. But I fear what my dad does all the time... "No thank you, can you put me on your do not call list, goodbye." Also, I'm not very good at teaching people :X

Still need help

If anyone is wanting to help make calls I have some names to share. Thus far my meetup group hasn't helped me and my time is very limited. Thanks for any help.
