Are you a delegate?
Have you applied to be a Poll Worker and/or Vote Count Watcher?
Have you recruited other supporters to become delegates?
Have you verified (from the horse’s mouth) that Ron Paul will be on your state’s ballot?
Do you attend GOP meetings (township - county – state)?
Have you canvassed collecting names and phone numbers and sent it to HQ?
Have you promoted Ron Paul to Christian media and ProLife groups?
Do you ask your local television stations to profile/interview Ron Paul?
Do you write letters to you local newspapers?
Have you promoted Ron Paul at gunshows, anti-war rallies, prolife meetings, etc?
Have you passed out registration forms to young supporters?
Do you call talk radio shows and pitch Ron Paul?
Do you have the names, addresses, and phone numbers of your meetup members to be ready to mobilize when needed?
Have you hit the streets passing out DVDs/literature?
Is your meetup inactive? Then do canvassing/lit drops by yourself.
Have you attempted to get your local public access channel to play Ron Paul videos such as his previous interviews in public access shows?

looks good. we need a more organized project system. just a list at the very least at least. might have one, but i've looked and havent come across anything.

 

[DFF]

I liked the new site concept. The concept seems very....organized.

I'm just being honest but, im not too sure about the bonfire thing... I don't have a better idea for a name... im just being a critic.

Well, since they'll be renaming RPF as Liberty Forest after the election, the bonfire thing kinda fits. I'm not completely sold on it either, though.

I'm decent with photoshop, just PM if you need any help.

 

[Shink]

All I hear is beeps and boops, youz robuts.

 

[Cleaner44]

I have a suggestion if you are looking for ideas. Allow members to register by location. We need a way organize by state, county, town & precinct.

 

[bcreps85]

Great idea, keep it up!

Just playing devil's advocate here, but... You don't think this is going to split up an already disparate support base? This site, it seems to be, has become the defacto Ron Paul Grassroots headquarters. All the things you're hoping to get done on your proposed webiste, are already happening here. So... why the push for another site?

I'm having a hard time seeing the difference between the kind of site you're advocating and the one we're all on now. Furthermore, what would seem more "organized," would still be another site with a hundred different things happening on it. Just like this one. I cast my own vote for Ronpaulforums.com, the freemarket of Ron Paul's ideas.

Better use of your time: become a precinct leader (if you aren't already). Write letters, join a meetup, etc., etc...

And other's suggesting to have a way to "register people by location..." Um... again, aren't we trying to reinvent the wheel here? Meetup.org anyone? All of the web ideas suggested here already exist, and have set precedents as being "THE place to go for x, y or z." Again, we don't need to reinvent the wheel, we need to roll on the wheels we've already got!

Great work, please see it through. We need more stuff like this, more organization, more leadership from within the grassroots.

Not bad, but the precinct leader thing is evolving to be pretty good, also something I'm already doing locally is letting Google manage a domain for me, and I've invited local meetup people to get email address' from there and it's free etc. For instance we can share docs, email, a calendar, and it's all free and actually better than meetup.

My gmail is [email protected] a domain I purchased and use when I canvass.
