I would strongly recommend that all Paul supporters join Downsizer.org because they are "informally" supporting Ron Paul. Their FFF.org website constantly has articles written by Congressman Paul. They are strong libertarian conservatives. They have asked their 30,000+ members to e-mail the June 30th debate leaders to get Ron Paul in the debate. They have been leaders in the fights against illegal immigration and for open government. Great organization. BTW, I donate $20/month to their budget.

I believe that the organization you are referring to is www.DownsizeDC.org. I agree -- they are a great organization.

Also, www.FFF.org is not connected in any way with www.DownsizeDC.org.
 
Where Are All The Meeting Groups Is Iowa?

Hi again.

The campaign is officially using ronpaul.meetup.com to facilitate grass roots organization. I wouldn't anticipate anyone other than Justine from HQ to join here. I mentioned previously you should join one of the Iowa meetup groups - they are being provided with mass quantities of materials to distribute. Even if you are to far too meetup, they will keep you in the loop better than you can expect on this site on what is going on in Iowa...although Dave does a great job relaying info here.

Joe is in Iowa. In fact, He will be meeting with my local meetup group tommorow night.

I'm going to PM Joe's cell phone to you on this message board because my records show it was sent previously to email address you reference. I see no reason to expect different results this time. :confused:

I wrote an e-mail to Joe yesterday informing him of the Meetup Group for Ft.Madison/Keokuk/Burlington. Also sent him a copy of the Iowa Campaign plan sent before to DC. Is Joe being paid a full-time salary or is he an unpaid part-time volunteer? Given the short time frame we have for the strawvote, I am puzzled why I haven't been contacted????

HOW MANY COUNTIES HAVE MEETUP GROUPS? HOW MANY OF THESE GROUPS ARE CONTACTING AND DEVLEOPING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE COUNTY GOP CHAIR AND COMMITTEES?

I gave you his cell phone #. Call him if you have concerns. He is a good guy.
My understanding is he has a paid position.

I have found from a lot of experience that it is best to have a "paaer trail" when under the heavy pressure of political campaigns. To easy to forget promises, etc. made which causes major breakdowns in communications.

But... I will call Joe if that's waht it takes.

I am pleased to say that Joe e-mailed me and put me in contact with key players coordinating the straw vote this Saturday. Our Meeting group was also set up as "border state one" since I live in Nauvoo, IL which is right across the Miss. River from Ft. Madison and Keokuk.

I'm sorry but I will NOT be able to be at the strawvote as I have to do senior Mormon missionary work in Nauvoo that day.

Weird. They took the story down... It was that Associated Press piece: GOP's Paul to crash Iowa forum

You can see that headline in the politics section of their homepage. But when you click the link, it says 'page not found'...

EDIT: Works now for me...

Hopefully, some of our folks taped NOT only Paul's talk but also taped so we could see the size of the Paul aduience and the size of the Forum audience. Did anyone get an interview of the Forum organizers and their "excuses" about why Paul was NOT invited?

We need to develo a working staretgy to nurture Iowa media types so they will give better coverage. The key people ar NOT the reporters but the Political Editors who make the assignments and edit any writeups. We need to at least neutralize IF NOT get these folks favorable to covering Paul.
 
We should have an assigned proactive but diplomatic person assigned to nurture EACH of these Political Editors especially of the major Radio, TV and Newspapers in Iowa. Learn from our expereeinces this past Saturday.
 
Hey, do we want to make a convoy?

We can rent a 7 passenger van in Dallas for 60 bucks a day, less with my military discount. At 15 MPG, we could get there and back with a $400 dollar bill. We could leave on the 10th and return on the 12th. For $100 a head we shouldn't have any problems getting there. At $100 a night, we can use two rooms per van load. You can put up to four adults in every room.

I am used to sleeping in tents with a lot of people (Iraq for 14mos) so it wouldn't bother me. Anyone else like the idea?

If we could get several convoys going from all over the country we may get an even better rental rate from a national car rental company and the hotel where we can all meet.

Lets talk seriously about this.

Im up for this depending on our money situation
coming from Tulsa
 
Tancredo opened his Iowa headquarters today. He put it in the campustown area of Ames - he must be planning on having a lot of help from the college students. The Register said there were 60 people there and they had a barbeque.
 
This weekend was awesome, but he/we have got to capitalize on the momentum it generated.

This is not the time to rest on our laurels.
 
Iowa Mobile Headquarters

Is it time for Ron to get an Iowa HQ?

FWIW, I 've suggested to Joe to rent a Class A RV and equiping it to be a movable communications cenetred state headquarters with live in facilities going wherever it is most needed. Also have banners on side, etc to advertise the Ron Paul Campaign. The GOP County headquarters can be used to distribute Paul Material on a regular basis.

Anyone see any major difficulties to this approach? Anyone have a good friend in the REV business or have an RV that they would rent for a few months?
