If there is any state that is crucial win its WA. It will give us the momentum we need for Super Tuesday.

Grassroots phonebank: rp2012.org

There are supporters who have gone on the sideline because now they also believe Ron can't win. And this will affect every state and our turnout to get that back AND to get momentum, especially now that Santorum is coming with losses into Super Tuesday if we win WA we have a real shot in some of the other states. If there is ever going to be a surge then that surge must start from WA. It is placed perfectly before Super Tuesday.

So please if you really care about winning then do your part and help WA, that is really where we must focus.

And forget about the polls in WA they can't capture it because we don't have primary this year the poll can only predict what would happen if we had a primary like we usually do, most people don't even know we don't have primary this year and will likely not even caucus. We got 21% in 2008 in the caucus but like 8% in the primary so don't pay attention to the polls. Give it your all to win WA.

When you talk to a supporter tell them:

There is NO PRIMARY, so there is no mailing ballot. The ONLY chance to vote for Ron Paul is to go to the caucus. March 3rd this upcoming Saturday.

Also many are unaware about caucus and they think it happens far away in some centralized location, so some might say they aren't going, LET THEM KNOW caucus is held NEARBY very close in their own communities just a few miles, please LET THEM KNOW THIS. MANY are unaware about caucuses and think they only happen in major cities like Seattle or Olympia they must know that it happens CLOSE to them and tell them its on a Saturday, don't assume they know its a weekend or date. Most don't know anything!!!

To find caucus locations tell them to go here: www.votewa.com
To learn about how caucus works go here: www.votewa.org

If they say they don't have time let them know all they have to do is go, put there name on the sign in sheet and write down Ron Paul on the sign in sheet as presidential preference, they DON'T HAVE TO STAY so its a quick min to vote. This way at least we'll get votes for th straw poll. But encourage them to stay to elect delegates.

Also emphasize they MUST be there BEFORE 10am or they can't vote. Doors open at 9am but CLOSE AT 10am. so tell them try to get there at 9:30am... BEFORE 10am is a MUST.

Please pass on ALL this info to every supporter they must be clear on at least this much, and I'm saying this from my experience phonebanking. People need to know date, time, location and reassured it happens close by and that its their only chance to support Ron Paul and that there is no primary.

If they are familiar with the caucus process (otherwise tell them to watch video on www.votewa.org) please tell them to MAKE A MOTION THAT THE RESULTS AND VOTES BE COUNTED AND ANNOUNCED PUBLICLY!!!

It would be nice if they can record the public count.

goodluck... Lets make this happen folks!!!!!

Key things to do for the campaign

Sign up as a delegate
Donate to the Current Moneybomb
[url="http://phone.ronpaul2012.com/v/faq.php]Phone From Home[/url]
Contact friends and relatives who are or who know someone that is in WA and urge them to get out the vote.

Most of this can be done by any supporter in or out of the state.

If anyone on the ground in WA has other ways we out of state supporters can help the effort in WA please speak up and let us know
 
Also volunteer to make calls at rp2012.org . We're getting thousands of new Ron Paul contacts in WA with robocalls and need people to follow up with them to get them to their caucus. So far, I don't know of any phonebanker who has found a Ron Paul supporter who has already been contacted by the campaign.

We need Facebook ads targeted towards younger supporters. Some can say that the deadline to register to vote is Friday while others can say that the caucus is Saturday at 10 AM and point them to the caucus locator page.
 
Washington is our Alamo. It's the final stand. We must win in Washington. There can't be any excuses, no talk of delegates afterwards.

The momentum that will be created is necessary. The difference between winning in Washington, and not, could be a few wins on super Tuesday. Talk of a brokered convention, and any real hopes of winning, likely go out the window without it.

It's more than just winning, though. People are tired, some are running on fumes. We need the fuel of victory. Donations have dried up quite a bit, and a win could shore the campaign up there as well.

THIS IS OUR SECRET WEAPON. WE ARE IDENTIFYING RON PAUL SUPPORTERS AND GETTING THEM TO THE POLLS.

IF WE CAN GET OUR PEOPLE TO THE POLLS, WE DON'T HAVE TO PERSUADE SHIT AND WE WILL WIN BY LANDSLIDE.


LET'S WIN....FOR PRESIDENT PAUL

It needs to say 9:30am.
 
we're telling everyone 9am...no if, and, or buts..

I wouldn't tell them 9am either. If they get there that early and no one is there, then when they realize that the caucus starts at 10am, they'll leave and come back, possibly too late.
 
I heard it's a good idea for Ron Paul supporters to try to stay under the radar at their caucus. They shouldn't wear Ron Paul clothes, and should hide bumper stickers, etc because most Ron Paul supporters are the "newbies" at the caucus.

The Republican party is an old, established, private club. We can register with any party in existence, but we made the decision to register with the Republicans..."their way or the highway." If the older members know we're not supporting their candidate then they'll use their knowledge of the rules to exclude us.

Can someone run a Google TV ad (http://www.google.com/ads/tv/). I would but I have no content. The ad should state that Friday is the deadline to register as a Republican, and the caucus is this Saturday at 9:30 a.m. It should also give a link to voter registration info and caucus locations.

NO ONE SHOULD WRITE UNDECIDED for their preference. We have the support to WIN. PLEASE WRITE IN RON PAUL!!! You dont have to wear a badge but PLEASE on the sign in sheet write RON PAUL in the column that asks for presidential preference.

Also MAKE A MOTION THAT THE RESULTS AND VOTES BE COUNTED AND ANNOUNCED PUBLICLY!!!

You should watch the video at: www.votewa.org to learn about caucus. And if you can try to attend a mock caucus find local meetup groups to help you.

i'll be sporting RP gear - but i'm a pco so my caucus will be easy. i'm gonna be handing out RP stickers to however many folks i can get to attend. i hid it last time, this time myself and the majority of my attendees will celebrate it.

but here is the conundrum: the County and district and just about everyone else in the GOP hierarchy have a copy from something called the "Blue Republicans" that seems to properly state the reasons why these voters should support our guy along with how to do the whole caucus thing. I know that they (GOP hierarchy) are determined to "not have democrats" elected as republican delegates. and one method of trying to ensure that this does not happen is selectively give out the precinct caucus packages when available and not just hand the first person the responsibility of running the caucus.

so here's the question: as the straw poll results will be reported i think we should alll list our guy, but will this limit the chances of being selected the precinct chairman if the precinct is vacant? to be honest, i suspect there will be some people running the desks that will be friendly, and many that will be apprehensive and weary (to put it nicely) of us. my advice is to keep it simple if you ask to run your precinct: anyone but Obama, and a love for much smaller government.

some of this runs slightly contrary to what the campaign has been saying, but i do not think anyone was aware of the "blue republicans."

thanks to all that are helping us here. i dropped by the campaign office today and the phone lines were full.

sorry for the long winded response, and anyone with questions can pm me
 
If you guys need more people to show up you can find people on twitter who talk about Ron Paul in WA:

https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/ron paul near:"WA" within:100mi

or

https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/ron paul near:"seattle" within:100mi

That link has 100's of people who have talked positively about Ron Paul in the last week who are in WA.

Look at the below link for the numbers in 2008:

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#val=WA

If people can tweet some of them and tell them what to do we can win WA.
