My husband and I live in Chapel Hill and are returning as students at UNC this coming fall and spring semesters respectively. The campus is overwhelmingly liberal, but we are determined to embark on a campaign to convert it. The goal is to make the students and faculty more receptive of Ron Paul, BJ Lawson, and their message of freedom and prosperity. I believe that if the university can be convinced of these ideas, its influence will help spread them to the community. We'd like to start now so as to build momentum for the 2012 campaign season and gather enough traction to make a difference.
The strategy so far is to:
1) Flier all dorms early in the fall 2011 semester with general literature informing people of Ron Paul's common sense wisdom and policies.
2) Follow this with a second round a couple months later, perhaps involving a current issue or debate.
3) Provide targeted literature to various campus organizations which we have identified, including such groups as : Conservative, Christian, Medical, Rifle Club, Sensible Drug Reform, and many others.
4) Flood the Daily Tar Heel with student op-eds and hopefully obtain recognition in articles and interviews.
5) Raise awareness through other media sources: Carolina Review (conservative journal), WXYC radio (89.3 FM) and student television.
6) Obtain permission to set up a booth(s) in the "pit".
7) Dorm-storm all undergrad buildings to raise awareness, most importantly for the NC primary and then the general election.
8) Hopefully obtain the audience to bring Dr. Paul back to UNC (this time in the Smith Center).
9) Drop literature similar to that from dorms at mostly student apartment complexes close to the primary.
10) Respectfully blanket the town with Ron Paul revolution and BJ Lawson stickers.
11) Create a Ron Paul revolution sign to hang over a busy bypass in the RTP area.
This is obviously only the beginning of our plan. We are hoping to coordinate some with the campus libertarian club but would also like to incorporate members of the community and I don't want to box Dr. Paul into one particular party. It will obviously be expensive and involve a lot of effort, but I believe that the project has tremendous potential.
I am looking for feedback, suggestions, anyone in the area willing to join the effort, and also sample literature templates, etc. if anyone has them. Again, my emphasis is on beginning this early (i.e. as soon as possible - the tentative primary date is May 8, 2012), so please let me know what you think!
