I'll get you guys added later tonight! Thanks!!!

We have a chip in for the Tampa Bay area for signs and supplies for sign making. Keep in mind we are the group that will be making signs and such all through the summer to blanket Tampa for the convention. Anything donated goes straight to real signs and home made sign supplies. After the 31st we will use the money for the convention!

Spence is our hillsborough (tampa) coordinator under alex (campaign regional head for the tampa bay counties)

Thanks for adding the Tallahassee meetup, I'm not sure if it's because of the add or not but there has been an increase in joins.

 

[neverseen]

State and regional volunteer lists have been going out and regional emails are being sent. There is a good chance this is causing part of the bump. That plus all the excitement of a first place paul gathers up all the bandwagon hoppers .

The Tampa Bay group has increased from 200 to 300 in about 2 weeks!

Made the largest paper with Alex (official tampa bay region coordinator for the campaign) and Mark (official florida campaign). They mentioned the Pasco County straw poll win as well. This article will be/is in print. We've had 2 favorable paul articles this month in the time on the bottom right of the front page.

Will Tweet this periodically to my Florida based RP Twitter.

Chip in is on page 1 if anyone is interested in helping us buy signs, bumperstickers, and brochures! Bumping due to all the recent FL talk!

 

[neverseen]

Bumping because FL is more important than random news articles that are being posted non stop causing legit grassroots efforts like this one to be driven down off the first page.

Live in Manatee county, work in Pinellas. I'll do whatever I can

Just a reminder to Florida- early voting starts on the 21st -and these old people with a lot of time on their hands vote early.

These early voting lines are usually the longest.

So really, there is more like 9 more days to convert registered Republicans.

Get out the last of any promo lit, DVDs, CDs you have this week.
