Help Ron Paul Win South Dakota: Phase II (Urgent Request)

[Henry Rogue]

Done, and good hunting (for gathering RON PAUL supporters)

 

[MarcusI]

5 bucks from a poor student in Germany... maybe more next week.

A few people have asked me. Why don't we just contact the Super Brochure guys.

Well, the main reason is expense. We can buy 18,000 super-brochures from them. Have our bulk mailer ship them out for about 20 cents each (= $3,600 for Postage). Pay an extra 2 cents a copy to have them print the address on it, and to it completely for about $6,000.

The Super Brochures are spending over 50 cents a piece if you average it out, which would cost us around $9000.

So by us doing it ourselves we're actually saving about $3,000. Possibly more depending on how think shake out.

I can contribute $100 on May 15, and I will contribute another $100 is someone matches it with their own $100 donation.

 

[ican'tvote]

I'll be donating to this after the moneybomb.

Does the information you're sending tell the recipient how to become a delegate?

 

[skyorbit]

That's already over with. Delegate selection was in March. Every candidate has a slate. That slate's on the ballot. What percentage we get in our primary will determine how many of our slate goes and how many of Mitt RowneyCare's goes.

a Person had to file to run to be precinct committeeman or committeewoman by the Primary filing deadline Mid March also.

That's stuff's over with.

Tracy

 

[skyorbit]

Bump.

OK. I've got some updates here. A lot of stuff has happened in the last few days.

 

[Darguth]

I have a LOT of Ron Paul flyers and stuff left over from the Louisiana campaign which I don't really think we need anymore. I'll contact our regional director to be sure, but if we don't need it would it help at all if I sent it to you?

I have boxes and boxes full of these things. Mostly they are issue flyers and the like.

 

[skyorbit]

Certainly.

PM me and I'll give you my address. Since we're going to have to run the campaign as a PAC we won't be able to get stuff as easily from the official campaign (although we aren't getting stuff from them anyway.) so anything you can send would be most helpful.

Tracy

PS We're WAY more organized this time. 4 years ago we just had a few ad hoc meet-up groups. And we got 17% of the vote. With these new developments we'll be able to build an actual GOTV machine.

 

[skyorbit]

I sent you a PM Dargath

 

[Darguth]

OK, I'm awaiting word back from my regional director to make sure we don't need it before I ship. Should hopefully have an answer tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

Will you guys have poll workers manning the polling places across the state?

 

[rolik]

[skyorbit]

That's priority 2 of the PAC. To get that organized across the state.
Priority 1 is to voter ID Sioux Falls and Rapid City voters to build a machine and make sure our people turn out. Priority 2 is to have precinct captains for every precinct in the state. We've budgeted $10,000 for the 1st priority. We can accomplish the 2nd for another $10,000. I'll have more info on the PAC, along with a website in the next day or so with details.

$20,000 is nothing for a statewide campaign here. So this is a show-string budget. The more money we raise in the next couple weeks the more we can do.

Just realized the chip in ends before the May Moneybomb, so I will donate $15 either tomorrow or this weekend.

 

[helmuth_hubener]

Bump. Thanks Tracy, you handled this perfectly. I am very glad to have donated, whatever it goes to. I have total confidence you will use it well. Congratulations on the Reinforcements from the North!

 

[skyorbit]

Here's the website for the PAC.

Donations will be functional on it sometime tomorrow.
