I need help now creating RP 2012 literature for NH.

[mr1]

I live in Massachusetts (right next to NH) and would like to start making regular little trips into NH to hand out RP 2012 literature at events geared towards Republicans, conservatives, tea partiers, and libertarians.

Can anyone help me create good literature?

Right now, I believe that the most important things we can do for a 2012 presidential run are pledge our support for RP 2012 to convince him to run (www.TheRonPaulTeaParty.com), help promote a kickoff moneybomb, help promote CPAC 2011 attendance to RP supporters, and start work in Iowa and NH. This post is about starting work in NH, and I think the first steps in that work are trying to reach out to many of the activists in the state and getting them on our side.

The literature that I want now is not for the average voter. It would be literature geared towards convincing activists that Ron Paul is their candidate of choice. I really want to try to pre-empt Palin and any other candidate and position Ron Paul as the true Tea Party candidate of choice. We know that there are probably some lingering doubts about Ron Paul among about everyone except the hard core Ron Paul supporters, so I think it would be good to take those issues head on. Maybe it might be good to have a Q and A section or something with common "myths" or concerns about Ron Paul.

Questions like, is Ron Paul too old? We could quote one of the articles by Doug Wead about how he's not too old, and talk about how much he exercises and is probably healthier than many of the other younger candidates.

Or, can Ron Paul get elected? We could talk about the poll that put him neck and neck with Obama. And how Ron Paul draws support from many different areas of the political spectrum.

We could also have an answer about his military service and belief in a strong national defense and the most donations from the military and such to deal with the myth of being a weak isolationist.

Any other ideas and offers for help?

Thanks.

Key points to focus on include his demands for Fed transparency, his record as "Dr. No" and his opposition to globalism.

What do I do if I prefer a weak isolationist?

Thanks for your interest in NH! You could contact NHLA (NH Liberty Alliance) and the Free State Project. Get in touch with Dave Ridley (he's on the forums and all over YouTube) and he can interview you talking about this and get it up on YT so people can contact you.
There are some issues specific to NH that these folks can fill you in on, like the regional differences and the number of RP supporters without internet access.
Also, go to C4L and the NH section under "States" to see who the district coordinators are. NH also has a very active Meeet-Up group (309).
Then there's always 7pm at Murphy's in Manchester

However I doubt that the NHLA organization itself would get involved at all in supporting Ron Paul. I thought it focused on NH stuff and didn't get involved with presidential stuff. And I know that the Free State Project organization does not do anything political. It only encourages liberty activists to move to NH.

I was planning on trying to reach out to activists within both of those organizations, just not the official organizations themselves.

Taproom Tuesday at Murphy's is definitely on the list of places to stop by.

And I'll look into the others as well.

I don't understand why you would...

What do I do if I prefer a weak isolationist?

Well, I might also prefer a weak isolationist president if that just meant that the president wouldn't intervene militarily abroad and that he would in general reduce the overextended power of the presidency.

However, "weak" and "isolationist" have bad connotations to most people so I say we avoid them. When I talk about the myth that Ron Paul would be "weak" and an "isolationist", I'm talking about the perceptions that Ron Paul would make us unprotected by weakening our military, and that he would make us cut off all foreign trade and interaction. That is what I think a lot of people think of when they hear the media call someone isolationist. And that is not what Ron Paul is. We need to stress that he is "strong" by being willing to make the tough decisions and make us more safe by bringing the troops home and focusing on true defense. And that he is not isolationist because like many of the founders, he wants trade and commerce with all, but entangling alliances with none.

NH is prime ground for RP proselytizing, especially with all the libertarian migration taking place. Good luck!

You're right on the local concentration, but there's a lot of overlap, so if nothing else, NHLA and FSP could direct you towards those willing to help. Some of the denizens of Murphy's got elected recently, so they have good insights (thinking Warren, who's also active with in NHLA, I think. In so. NH to the west of Nashua, there's John Lewicke, who was very active with posting signs and posing questions at the debate in Manchester. I believe he was very active in Ron Pauls' campaign in 1988, too. Lots of knowledge.

We need to mold our message much better than we did in 2008.

 

[mr1]

Something like that...

You mean something like this?

Yes, something like that.

Although they can't have Ron Paul 2008 on them.

Well you can change it of course. Call that printing company in NH. I provided that number for them and I worked with them before. Those two-sided print outs were the most popular handouts when I was handing out Ron Paul literature in 2007-2008. People actually came up to me and requested more to give to their friends and family, and these were average people not RP fanatics...they loved them.

That company is awesome though, I can't say enough about them. They'll work with you and design exactly what you want and the pricing is pretty damn cheap as well.

 

[Eric21ND]

We need to mold our message much better than we did in 2008.

I also think we need to target republican primary voters better.

 

[AuH2O]

The message here is pretty simple -- Ron was one of the few good guys before the Tea Party and the GOP "returning to principle." Ron Paul, the Original Tea Party Candidate.

Bump for saturday"s straw poll

I also think we need to target republican primary voters better.

We also need to CREATE Republican primary voters better.

Independents were disgusted by the bailouts and Obamacare. I think they might be more willing to reregister, given a real candidate, than they have been.

I think we should encourage Independents to do that and help with it, but if we hang our hat on that strategy we'll lose. Remember people are generally lazy and how many are going to be bothered enough to cross party lines, do the paper work, etc.

RP does especially badly with the old folks, so i would have a flier aimed specifically and reassuring them that he wont end their social security.

You seem to know what's up. The NHLA only focuses on the most important political stuff in NH, which is State House and State Senate elections, reviewing bills, supporting or opposing bills, ratings candidates and so on.

You are also correct in that the FSP doesn't do politics. It is just a bus that encourages and helps people move to NH where they can be more useful to the bring about increased liberty.

Good look with your work. You should know that Gary Johnson has already been to NH a whole bunch of times last year and this year and he is trying to reach out to similar groups (RLC, cannabis groups, local GOP groups) all over the state and even in MA and CT.
