Much of what your describing is already set up through https://www.ronpaul2008.com
It breaks down this way. National HQ, State Organizer, County Organizer, Precinct Leader, Volunteers, Ron Paul voters.
This provides the structure and sets up lines of communication. Most all resources are there (Maps, walking list, training videos, phone scripts, etc) and improvements are being made Daily to make it more user friendly while keeping info secure, so that no one is accessing info that should not be. (Trolls) Once you sign up as Precinct leader you have access to contact others in your county so we can coordinate from National HQ to State level, County on down to Precinct and volunteers. Meet up groups can be brought into this to help get the work done. All Meet-up members should be either Precinct leaders or Volunteers. They do this by signing up with Ronpaul2008.com. Then they register as a volunteer if they do not want to be a precinct leader, so their contact info is in there and they can be called upon to help. With this and using they Meet up Groups, we can become one with the National Campaign. This in no way limits the average person from doing other things through other Groups that cannot work with the Campaign because of legal issues.
For instance your county could get together through Meet-ups and organize maybe doing lit drops in teams so no one is left trying to do it on their own. I suggest getting an Ink stamp to put your number or a local contact for that area so Paul voters can quickly get hooked in on the local level. Some areas will figure out what will work best for them depending on a variety of reasons.
Then as a county you can put your info together and have, for example call4paul make the calls to identify Ron Paul voters for about 2 cent a call. They would be calling people who have hopefully already received lit. Then they would return info they collect back to us to enter into the system. This would weed out bad numbers and identify Ron Paul voters in your area. Also making calls first saves you from going door to door to every house for canvasing. A phone bank in your area can be set up, or you can do it on your own. I believe, from talking to them, you can work with call4paul to help set it up in your area using their methods and technology. Again, this is all whatever works best for your local area. I’m just giving some examples of what can be done.
You then take that info and get those Ron Paul voters into the system and plug them into the structure where they want and need to be. Maybe as a precinct leader, volunteer or into meet ups. If nothing else we now have identified them as a Paul voter and can get them signs and some slim jims so they can pass it on to others. Once your a Paul voter you usually can't shut up so they will be getting the word out whether a volunteer or not.
Next you do the canvassing hitting those left over, adding info still not collected and win over more Ron Paul voters. Also your entering what info you collect on the non Ron Paul voters. Mitt votes, non-voters, Dems and so on. We want to know how everyone is going to vote. This gives us numbers of voters for each candidate in each precinct that can be checked when it's time to vote. Everyone just keeps working the lists on a county and precinct level. Just keep going over the list till you have covered everyone, if possible, in your area. This can be used to target areas that need more Paul votes or that have not been gotten to yet for whatever the reason.
Lets not duplicate what is already being done. This is our chance to be organized and make the most of our time, reaching Paul voters as fast as we can and building on that. Also it connects us to the National campaign. So if you feel Precinct Leader is not for your thing, you can still play a huge part by signing up as a volunteer. So the steps Everyone should take are:
1. Join the Campaign here: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/join
Everyone should join the campaign if you haven't yet.
2. Register here to volunteer for the Campaign. https://www.ronpaul2008.com/volunteer/registration/
Everyone should be registered as a volunteer if you haven't yet.
3. If you are ready for the next level or there is no Precinct Leader in your Precinct as of yet, Become a Ron Paul Precinct Leader. Doing this get you access to info for your precinct. https://voters.ronpaul2008.com/grassroots/signup.php
We are all veteran members here... your preaching to the quire. And I know all about the main site, and I am a Precinct leader, area leader, four time meetup organizer, state organizer, and all of that other grand stuff.
What we are working on... well, what I was working on is diffrent and your totaly missing the point of the project.
Seriously.... who are you?...
You sound like a campaign staff guy.
