Michigan support?

[westmich4paul]

SO MAKE SOME SIGNS! How hard was that? Im making 500 Ron Paul signs today and tonight. Ill spend all day Saturday putting them up, but Im not worried about us running out of signs, because when I do, I have A BACKUP PLAN!

I think you are missing the point about the thread which is where in the heck is national and why are we being left out here to do the things you are doing when we have raised soo much money for this campaign? Why, thats all I want answered. I have heard every excuse from well we were up the the air because we didn't know whether we werehaving a caucus or a primary well to me thats blowing smoke because either way we could use the ads, the lit, the signs, ect. Just give us straight answers.

I concur that Michigan is ripe for Ron Paul. We should focus efforts in that region on winning Michigan with these 11 days left. It's a shame if national has left us high and dry, but we can do much on our own.

Most college students are still on break; These are tight social networks and young people support Paul's positions. Organize the students in that region, get them on the ground!

Help with GOTV

I hope people in IN, OH, northern WI, and northern IL will consider signing up with Michigan Meetup groups to help get out the vote!

TV and radio is really the way to go, since MI is so spread out, especially in the northern regions. I have heard Ron Paul and Romney radio ads on talk radio, but that's about it.

And thats the problem here we are almost getting to close to primary date to be effective. At leaset not nearly as effective as we could have been. As to the poster that asked if I called Dan the answer is Dan who? Thats the problem. I have spoken to our meetup organizer and he has very little answers coming in from national. We had a meeting with Leslie(state coordinator) and Kellie from national but to me what we heard it seemed was again a little too little a little to late.

I presume Dan is me, I'm one of the Oakland County coordinators. SE Michigan has been bone dry for the last two weeks. It's crazy, as Michigan is definitely in play.

We need at least the same amount of effort from HQ that was put into Iowa. We're getting down to final days here!

You should and will do better than that - especially with the lessons learned.

and Romney could be hurting more and more in Michigan now ?
The pundits all summer assumed Willard would easily win Iowa and then roll on through as well afterwards, especially in Michigan.

Romney could really choke now, IMHO.

 

[brumans]

Definitely... we have just as much money as Romney does but it sure as hell does not seem like they are spending it. I'm not talking about Michigan either... all over. They need to pour a majority of resources all into one or two states, not a little here and a little there all into February 5th.

The campaign should fall on their sword for losing Michigan!

I'm hearing stories about how HQ is lying to people about sign/material shipping order info. Staff at HQ ARE F-ING UP and then they lie to cover their a$$. Either way, we are still doing well despite the lack of help. Signs are up and running in most areas in mich, but we still need more. We need to go after the indies and dems. I don't want to hear one more thing about going after these jesus freaks and converting them from Huckabee--it'll never happen. Key issues are the economy (NAFTA/NAU, etc), gun rights and privacy. We also need to make sure we turn out the Arab vote in Dearborn. We're gonna be targeting UAW plant workers at shift changes this week. The time is now. Especially if we're projecting a poor result in NH, Mich needs to be our 'Ace in the Hole.'

 

[pepperpete1]

The only two Democrats that signed on were Hillary and Dodd. Dodd is out leaving only Hillary for the Dems. What an opportunity to score. Or is that the reason they are not advertising on tv., that they feel they will get those votes anyway?

With or without HQ help, I will do what I can with what is available to me.

Anyone in the Allegan area that wants to lend a hand? PM me

I was talking about Dan Shield, the state of Michigan, materials manager. I've called him several times since this since we've now run out in Ann Arbor; he tells me that the nationals don't even seem to be keeping him in the loop: the PAID Michigan Materials Manager!
