At 2 polling locations in NH, I handed out comparison sheets to about 1,200 people on the day of the primary. I would say we received about ten people who said they changed their vote because of the sheet and about fifty other people who commented the sheet was extremely helpful. The majority of voters were reading the comparison sheet as they walked up to vote (pissing off Romney and huntsman supporters). This is an extremely great strategy to implement at polling locations and well beforehand while going door to door. Voters like comparing candidates. Using these sheets, it allows the voter to make decisions based on facts. My grassroots organization wants to have these comparison sheets sent around the country especially to voters in South Carolina. Kinko’s offers a deal: 10,000 sheets at around 200 dollars. Our grassroots organization has a goal of reaching every republican, democrat, and independent in Virginia with a sheet before the March six primary. It seems like there has been a lot interest so far. So our new goal should be to get a comparison sheet printed in every state. We can change each comparison sheet to meet different key issues in each primary. Let me know what everyone thinks and suggestions ASAP!




This is located on the back of the Sheet: For some reason I had a hard time loading the second page of the PDF. I can email somebody the full PDF, so they can fix everything and load it properly on here.

Further notes on Romney: On gay marriage, in 1994, supported pro gay initiatives as well as supporting Fed mandate to force acceptance
of gays in the work place; in 2007, now supports a national amendment to ban same sex marriage on the federal level, even though it
was voted in place in Massachusetts and is also now against the Fed mandate he supported in 1994. (flip/flop/flip) Touted Massachusetts
health care reform; YET is against Obama health care; now acknowledges that BOTH reforms include individual mandates that may be
unconstitutional. On immigration, in 2006, said illegals should be afforded path to citizenship and NOW is completely against it - at the same
time, did not address funding issues to known 'sanctuary' cities in MA: Cambridge, Somerville and Orleans - all known sanctuary cities.
When taking on the Governorship of MA, refused to sign a "no new tax pledge"; raised taxes/fees 7 times; at start of the 2007 campaign,
Romney stated that he indeed did sign the pledge. Supported military involvement in Libya, specifically the bombing. He stated that
Obama was being too soft on Libya until it was noted to him that Congress had not given permission for military action THEN he stated that
our presence there should only have been in a humanitarian capacity (flip/flop) Romney also has suggested in debates that he believes that
military action does not necessarily need to be preceded by Congressional approval.
Further notes on Gingrich: Supported Obama's individual mandates as well as Clinton's Universal Health Care. Suggested the purchase
of flex-fuel cars be mandated to all Americans. Now states that he is against individual mandates, and makes specific reference to Romney
Care, which actuallymodeled itself after a Gingrich health mandate model. Hired company to create fake Twitter to appear as if he had a
following. While Speaker of the House, had 84 ethics charges brought against him; was fined $300k; charges were dropped just prior to
Gingrich agreeing to resign from the Speakership. First wife was his highschool geometry teacher. Met his 2nd and 3rd wives while having
adulterous affairs while married to wives one and two, respectively. Recently converted to Catholicism; was committing adultery while
investigating President Clinton over Monica Lewinsky. Bounced 22 checks during the House banking scandal. Voted for secret House pay
raise and chauffeur service.
Further notes on Paul: He has been fighting for return to personal liberties as subscribed by the Constitution for 30 years; his position on ALL of the issues has remained the same for 30 years. His voting record proves this as well as his verbal address to Congress and in interviews
with the media. He is pro capitalist but anti crony corporatism; he is pro local farming and is one of only two Congressmen to refuse
participation in the lifetime Congressional pension and is the ONLY Rep to vote against Congressional pay raises! On electability: Paul is ONE
of only TWO candidates to make the VA state ballot. Santorum failed to get on the ballot in VA, TN and DC. Gingrich failed to get on the
ballot in MO, OH and VA. Paul also draws many democrats and independents, votes crucial to unseating Obama in the general election.
Paul has received huge endorsements from both the Democratic and Independent sides (eg. Nader, Kucinich); many Democrats have
actually changed their party affiliation just in order to vote for Paul (BlueRepublicans), truly bolstering the GOP's numbers and thereby
ensuring Obama's defeat in 2013, a return to the GOP's claim being the BIG TENT party.
The facts listed on this comparison chart can be corroborated by Googling the Candidate listed and the associated issue/fact.
If you would like links to the online sources for these facts, please email [email protected]; the links will be provided.
If any candidate's position has changed since this draft, it is due to the candidate's changing of his opinion.

Excellent post and idea and I am glad to see you moving out of the chatroom and into the main forum as well. I would suggest setting up a chip-in account or some other way that people can help donate to get the job done. +rep
 
For Virginia ditch the grinch

Add something about farm rights/freedom for the south/west


Add local info to the Foreign aid section - For Paul "spending money here at home in Virginia, in Norfolk, Quantico, etc."
Need something about this helping our allies - stop giving aid to our allies adversaries.. such as giving $x billion to hostile regimes in Egypt, Jordan, Syria.


I would recommend separate flyers for Indy and Dem houses as well..
 
Brilliant idea. Must be implemented for SC! Of course make any changes needed based on the state in question. Gotta keep this bumped.

Make more sheets too. I'm sure with a tiny bit of organization and some donations it shouldn't be a problem for SC people. Granted I guess anyone could print these out themselves, but can they find them is the question.

I would recommend moving the bailout/gun rights/housing bubble issue to the top. I wouldn't emphasize the Patriot Act. Also, if there was a way to make the language seem a little more objective rather than the pro Paul bias it now has. But I really really like this idea, it is brilliant.

Seriously, why don't we print thousands of these for the day of the primary, this will work.

Maybe even scrap the part about overseas bases and replace that as well.

SC will like reopening their bases in SC that were originally shuttered to send troops overseas. Make no mention of "past mistakes" anywhere in foreign policy though, that will turn off SC faster than "the speed of light" lmao

But SC was in recession long before the rest of us, because abandoned military bases turned large swaths of the State into a ghost town. People like money coming home almost as much as they like relatives coming home.
 
Ok, if this is for SC.


Gay marriage and Abortion info has to be there.. That's what lost us Iowa -- foreign policy was the 2nd biggest negative against paul, but after explaining his pro-defense position.. everyone who would listen through the reasoning said they had to reconsider and may support RP..

drop mitt and add santorum

I like tuning it to sound more objective and less Paulish. Will be more effective in SC I think. Let the truth/facts speak for themselves. No need to spin it.

Good point Gunny and it is an aspect I had not really considered so thanks for the input. Perhaps just word it so that it is clear about the benefits closing bases overseas would provide to SC. Also, as Gerry said... Abortion would be a great topic for this type of literature.
 
We handed this out in NH. We haven't really made any changes for SOuth carolina yet. But this did change peoples mind and help people come to a decision in NH. It really works and should be implemented in all states upcoming.
 
the problem with saying we are against the patriot act is that sheeple think that just because it is named 'patriot',it is a good thing. so lets put out our real objections.wiretapping,warrantless arrest ,surveillance,police state etc.same for no child left behind.mention the wasteful expense of money on bureuacracies so that sheeple dont misunderstand that we are somehow anti education
 
This is one of the best ideas I've seen since I've been apart of this. Very clever and practical... and effective. Imagine a ton of money going into this like we did with the friggin blimp.
