Nov 5 2010 is Ron Paul 2012 Sign Waving Day

Collecting polling data on that day would be handy. This is the last time before the primaries that we'll have voters all in one place.

Edit: Nevermind, thought it was November 2...great idea! Nov. 5 is perfect..

Sign waving doesn't win elections.

Doing all the training in the CFL pages, learning your precinct, and calling around to see what issues matter most to your neighbors is a much more effective use of your time.

Whatever gets our guys on the streets and motivated, and gets Ron Paul's name out there, I would describe as an effective use of my time. It may not be effective enough to justify your participation, but the fact is conventional campaigning does not appeal to everyone. For others, the fun stuff like sign waving is a gateway to more sophisticated forms of promotion.

If it weren't for signs and sign waving, I'm willing to bet about half of us wouldn't even be here. Sign waving goes along with any political campaign. Holding a sign up is the most basic and visceral way to express your support or opposition to something in a public way, short of shouting it. And if you're telling me right now there's not going to be any signage or sign waving in 2012, I'm likely to just sit the whole god damn thing out.

Dissuade graffiti-style campaigning, and you're going to go a long way toward dissuading the more youthful voters from even bothering with your dull vision of what the Ron Paul campaign should be. Just my two cents.

Let's get to work, people.

A nov 5th signwave event is a great idea. It's a shot heard round the world show of strength. Most effective at about once a year. I think a nov 5th nationwide signwave is perfect.
 
Unfortunately this time around I am no longer a college student and have a full time job, making Friday afternoons a bad time for me to sign wave.
 
Sign Waiving is a waste of time...

easily ignored and in the end unproductive


that's for kids the day of or before the election

Really?

Campaigning for Rand disproves that point. I was in KY and I saw a ton of youth there.

I guarantee that the 1000s of people who would get out and wave signs on Nov. 5 would otherwise be either sitting at home or at work and not phone polling for Ron Paul.

This at least creates a way to motivate and coordinate people. Which would then lead to phone polling and canvassing.
 
concerted efforts early on should be fundraising.

the early work is forming the networks, planning, data mining, developing campaign strategy and focus.

Fundraising is of no use until Ron Paul announces.

Sign waving on Nov. 5 lets people know early on that Ron Paul will be in the game...

Who does that say it to? Who will be listening?

For ourselves?

Better to organize and build, then run full from the start... like you said until he announces.

Rally the leaders before the troops and don't walk into a war blind
 
Who honestly gives a fuck what Matt Collins says, anyway? This whole forum is just a way for him to get himself off. Fuck Matt Collins. I'ma go wave my signs while you're sitting here jerking yourself off. Go ahead and ban my shit while you're at it, mods. I don't have time for this.
