Exactly.

Here is a paste for you Jennifer.

"Here’s the gist of it. The FEC (Federal Election Commission) has a code of rules and regulations that apparently makes the IRS codebook look like nursery rhymes. And, because other groups are not, shall we say, encouraging our campaign it is especially important that we follow the code to perfection. The code mostly deals with money - how it is received by the campaign, how it is used, etc. The tricky part for grassroots campaigns is that our activities must clearly be separate (in general) from the National campaign or someone is gonna end up in a little prison cell with a roommate named Bubba.

What they explained to us is this: They hate it, but they have to live by it. They want, they need for us to do what we’re doing and do more of it.

Do you see what this means? It means we don’t have to wait on the national organization to make decisions. We don’t have to feel stymied because we don’t know what they want. The truth is this: they can’t tell us! It’s not that they don’t want to, it’s just that they aren’t allowed to. So, you and I can promote Dr. Paul with our best efforts. We can coordinate with each other and help each other as we have been doing. And we can do more of it.

That’s the only direction we really need. In the end, there are two campaigns - national and grassroots."​

So, I suppose those who think this is a good idea, go ahead with it. Those who want to wait for the campaign to take over this idea, do nothing. I don't know what we are going to do here in Phoenix. We have planned this, organized it, and now I am thinking of dropping the whole thing. It is hard to send people to a support system that is not in place. Of course waiting will be deadly.

What do I know?

Anyone out there have any ideas?

What is needed in terms of a support system? Is that something we could put together on a grassroots level?

 

[Roxi]

this is odd.. one group has 9 members, yet no organizer hm

how do I contact this group?

join the group

 

[Gee]

What do I know?

Anyone out there have any ideas?

I would say you seem to be more motivated and capable to get this done than the campaign, so go for it. Campaign HQ can only do so much, and I don't think they are doing a very good job. I'd just sidestep them. There is nothing campaign HQ can do which the grassroots cannot. I am personally a bit miffed that I contributed so much money to the central campaign instead of grassroots efforts.

 

[sylvania]

Pleasde don't be miffed. I can understand how you feel, but they are so overworked and are trying to run their campaign and all of the many expenses on a shoe-string budget.

Also, thanks to people like you, RP got a HUGE amount of "free" press when his 2nd quarter cash on hand was higher than McCain's so you got to "double-contribute", once to campaign headquarters and once for the "free" press he received for his cash on hand.

Jenn, i think you should take charge of this

Some of my friends start classes TOMORROW. We need to get on this NOW

You seem to be on the ball, so i say sidestep the campaign and someone get on the Facebook group and make contacts

We were handing out flyers and had a booth set up today here at Auburn University. We had a lot of people say they saw stickers or signs with "Who Is Ron Paul?" and they had gotten interested. Pretty cool to see a viral, grassroots success..

 

[JaylieWoW]

My bosses daughter is a student at Auburn.

This doesn't really add any worthwhile information to this post, but she knows I'm a Ron Paul supporter, I'll be interested to see if she mentions it to me next time she's in town.

Good work Jennifer!

Yes you certainly have done a lot of hard work. Be proud of yourself.

A friendly reminder-To register voters in some places you have to have to be trained and certified as a registrar. And in some places, you cannot legally register voters (collect their voter registration cards and return them for them) and campaign for a particular candidate at the same time. You might be able to hand out voter registration forms in those cases, but you can't collect them. Please update your notes about this Jennifer-we don't want the students doing illegal things and creating blowback for the campaign.

I plan on sitting at spots on campus doing this with friends when I go back in 3 weeks. I thought about handing out RP yard signs. They are expensive but fit nicely into dorm windows and on doors and wall. I'm also going to organize carpools to go up to NH. Thanks for your help Jen.

 

[klamath]

Thanks Badger. I sure hope it turns into something.

Whoever made this a sticky...Totally cool!

I have pasted this EVERYWHERE. We are going to ASU on Tuesday. We have 500 copies of the articles and 5 people helping out. Will let you know how it goes. What works, what didn't. That kind of thing.

500 copies of 8 pages stapled was $210 bucks. (So actually that is 4000 copies.)

We will see how it goes. I also have some cheap fliers to hand out that say the same things only in bullet points.

I am going to try to have a clipboard and look important. Perhaps take a poll of which one they will be willing to read?

I'll play around with it. Should be fun.

Can't forget water! Expected temp: 110. Seriously.

Maybe a hat too. Must....find....tree....

At least it is cooling off. Was 115 last week. grin.

Great job Jennifer. 115? That isn't bad. That is what it is over Baghdad at 3 am in the morning

Hey folks! RP12!

Is there a quick half-page summary of Dr. Paul's platform?

I'm looking for an easy marketing flyer to put in strategic places around
my campus, The Ohio State University.
