OH MY GODDDDDD!!!!!!! I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dianne]

Bingo really isn't a bad idea though, as long as you go about it civilly and respect the people who are there.

Oh no, I'm fine with that; actually think it's a good idea. I wasn't fine with age stereotype, if you get my drift.

 

[Revolution9]

Nursing homes and End Of Life centers too, I suppose. :o

Think targeting graveyards would take away from the Obama vote?

[Txrose4ever]

I'm over 50, and maybe it's just the people I know, but we're not ready to succumb to the Bingo halls just yet. Perhaps you meant folks over 70?

I agree. I am over 50, too, and wouldn't be caught dead in a Bingo Hall. I am alive and internet savvy, computer literate, and support Ron Paul. Please do not assume there aren't "older" supporters of Paul!

Well, when I think of old, I think of someone older than Ron Paul.

You guys are killing me tonight... funny as hell.. I'm expecting the grim reaper to knock on the door any minute... By the way, I am on Ner'zhul in World of Warcraft, and my hunter pet is named: RonPaulFTW

Thank you !!!! but my advice is don't give any age... We have a 76 year old candidate who fights each day and night for you and I, and everyone on this forum. What he is doing right now, is not easy... in-fact, it is awful. He is the Grandfather of the United States of America. I pray when I'm Ron Paul's age, I will not be sitting in a bingo hall; but I will be out marching and campaigning for his son, Rand.

Thinking of freedom keeps you young at heart.

I hear ya brother. I started using computers in 1972 when we had to use paper tape to store the programs. I also know how to run a key punch machine. Learned that later when they finally started using those stacks of cards to hold the programs.

The biggest mistake the op made is assuming all people over 50 aren't Ron Paul supporters. I'm living proof there are Ron Paul supporters who are older than 50.

Another thing. Many youngsters these days think working against the establishment is something new. If they could only go back to the mid 60s and see how hard the younger generation was working to change the status quo, they wouldn't be thinking what is happening today is something new.

Edit: And if you really want to take the message to older people, go to the McDonald's restaurants.

And Burger King. I would help, but I'm an employee, so I can't really get involved.

Yes, I remember it well. In South Carolina, I marched for the Civil Rights movement, I campaigned for George McGovern of all things.. I heard of my high school friends were killled in Viet Nam... I saw my friends drafted, and gone...

Where was Newt's sorry ass ?????? Where was Romney's sorry ass?????? Where was Santorum's sorry ass?????? You are sooooooooooooooooo right Ron Paul.... Chicken Hawks !!!! They are sorry chickens themselves, who will slaughter your children for their personal wealth...

 

[Dlynne]

i did not intend to make you feel old or insult you, im sure there are many exceptions to being over 60 and being able to use a computer, i am grown up, im 36 years old with two kids and i want them to have a bright future and all of the freedoms i enjoyed while growing up, whether you like it or not, there are many many 60+ that love going to bingo and we need to target your generation! so since you will be 60 this summer, do you have any suggestions as to how we can reach your generation? like i said im just trying to think outside of the box. if i hurt your feelings i sincerly apologize.

I accept your apology. You should also know that my 84 year old father reads the WSJ every morning on his IPad. And he supports (and has donated to) Ron Paul this time around, even though he voted for McCain last time.

I hate to say this on this forum, but part of the problem is with the Paul campaign itself. One example: an MD friend of mine (who is OLDER than me), requested help from the campaign, via its website, in hosting a Paul house party. (On the website, there is a place to check and place an email address to host a house party.) There was ZERO response from the campaign. My friend and his wife (both over 55) had a party anyway, invited about 35 people, and we handed out for free Paul's book "Liberty", which we purchased at our expense. My friend spoke about several of Paul's ideas, and we had a laptop set up where people could, right there, contribute to Paul's campaign. The attendees were all over 55, professionals and business people, and several thousands of dollars were raised that night and, yes, several converts to Paul were made.

It is up to the Paul campaign to explain to people how his plan to gradually eliminate social security does not threaten social security for people who are now at an age when they are counting on it AND they have ALREADY PAID FOR IT. If the campaign won't made a political ad on this, I wish a PAC would do it.

No war, no inflation, and sound money are all ideas that naturally appeal to seniors. Paul's stellar record on his own family values and charitable nature is also be an outsanding selling point. Unfortunately, the Paul campaign has not targeted the senior market very well.

bingo,just because this thread is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 50-60 yr olds challenging the youngins to WOW!!! priceless

 

[amyre]

My husband and I went with another couple to play bingo just for the fun of it a few months ago (we're in our thirties) and our presence (we were there to just have fun) was not welcome. They take their bingo VERY seriously. Not sure if they would like the disruption. It's a good thought though.

ok cool thank you..... i agree with you, but i also feel we on the groound can do soo much more to target the 60+ age group.... like i said, i just want to leave it all out there, bust my behind, and know we all did everything we could of done in our power to get ron paul elected. p.s. i think its awesome you and your family know your way around the computer, especially your father... my dad is 58 and has no idea how to even turn a computer on, he is scared sht of it.

so true, add to the idea, just find the biggest bingo halls in florida and then take over the bingo industry ,better prizes and just make the bingo hall a ron paul love fest by making a better bingo hall with better prizes. Free Market, take over the bingo industry. Have better and bigger bingo halls. Educate thru Prizes?

 

[rb3b3]

i know how serious they take their bingo believe me... my grandmother who is 89 years old is a regular at her bingo hall. I am only suggesting that we go there and hand out super brochures while they are on their way into the building, then give them out when bingo is over.

 

[parocks]

And nursing homes.

We have a lot of confidence that we're going to get a lot of votes from demographics that do not support Ron Paul.

We know that males 18-29 like us. How about suggestions about how to get those 18-29 males to the polls?

Nursing homes are standard for old folks.
