Just had an idea...

[Nanerbeet]

I know these ideas never get any traction but I just wanted to throw this one out there not to see if it will gain traction, but to get people THINKING about clever ways to promote the campaign as we move forward, beyond super T etc...


Could we sponsor some kind of a national writing contest where school children between a certain age group write up an essay about why we should elect Ron Paul?? Get the parents involved in doing research. We all pitch in for a grand prize like a scholarship and it makes the news.

"4th graders for Ron Paul" news at 11.



What do ya think?

very original idea

ooh

 

[JimInNY]

Very good indeed.

Rather then why to elect Ron Paul make it a bit moore open "What America means to me"

 

[JimInNY]

We'd have to make it a BIG $ scholarship though.

Like $10k to 1st place, $5K to 2nd, $2.5k to third, and maybe five $500 runner ups?

What becomes of the money though? We hand a kid's parent a $10k check and who is to say it gets spent on college?

Nah, then parents will have their kids writing about social security, gun control and free health care. lmao!

kinda have to focus on RP so it is actually worth something to us.

Its like the one where you are running really fast and then fall off a cliff. You wake up when you hit the ground.

That's a really good Idea, it doesn't take much money to make it worth while.

How does one go about setting up a scholarship?

i hate those dreams where you are free falling and jump up in your sleep and get that feeling in your stomach

What a great idea - unfortunately since you brought it up though - can you take this on with your meetup or something? I just hate to see great ideas go nowhere

It will go somewhere.

I will donate hosting and make a website for it. How do we set up scholarships?

Any liars, I mean lawyers here? Bankers? Acountants? Deans? College admins? Someone who knows this stuff?

Ron Paul Essay - Great Idea!

It's an awesome idea! Let's not let go of it? How about a basic essay topic that everyone with common sense will have to agree with? For example "How Electing Ron Paul for President Will Help Adults Pay Less Taxes". These days it is possible to set up a simple website for a few hundred dollars. Why not give the winners cash? We accomplished a goal, it's a win-win for everyone!

A simple website will be free for this project.
