Picture worth 1000

Don't know who thot of it first..... but here's a picture of your "idea" richard

Yesterday I came up with a great (though maybe a little silly) idea for the campus blitz, and I'm totally going to do this. I'm going to make a backpack anchored Ron Paul sign. It'll be tall--extending above my head. And I'll change the signs around, personalizing them to make Ron Paul sound very appealing to the college crowd. I'm really pumped about this. My "Ron Paul 2008" button gets a lot of attention/looks, so I know a big sign sticking out of my backpack will really stand out.
I hope my description makes sense. Just imagine the signs on sticks that people carry around at Ron Paul speeches and stuff. I want to make one that I can carry around in my backpack and that will be taller than my head so everyone around can see it. I'm gonna feel a little insecure to begin with, but I'll know it's for the best cause, so I'll have confidence I usually don't have.
I'm really excited about doing this. I'm not usually very out-going, but Ron Paul inspires me. If the media won't cover him and all of his greatness, then we've gotta step up our game people!!!
I'll keep you updated on how construction is going. Hopefully I can be carrying my big Ron Paul sign around campus everyday really soon!
I'm pumped.



Looks like a great and comfortable setup..... go for it.

All other college students should do this, too! It'd be so much better than bumper stickers and shirts and buttons.
And we can personalize them. Make them really catchy. It'll be so awesome.
This could be big...don't you think?

We did this yesterday. We tried fliers and articles. Many fliers ended up on the ground, the articles they kept. Can't tell you why. But the campus did not appreciate the mess with the fliers. Many of us stuck around to pick them all up. For some reason the articles they took. Maybe because they look like handouts they get in class and they are used to keeping that stuff. Maybe because they were interesting. I don't know.

We tried several different fliers and got the same reaction, so I don't think it was content.

Plus, the campaign cannot give out the Ron Paul articles, we can - so I heard. So we might as well take advantage of that and do what they are not allowed to do.

This is the same thing that Jennifer said. Sounds like we need to be printing up packets of the articles and get people busy visiting campuses.

Anyone willing to do this? I'll help pay for some of the printing costs, if you guys are willing to go pass them out.

Yesterday, myself and a couple of other students went to the main parking lot at ASU (which holds up to 5,000 cars) hit up about 80% of all the cars that were there. I would have to say we put out close to 3,000 fliers. We are planning to do this every two weeks with a different flier.
We are also in the process of getting an officially recognized organization here at ASU for Ron Paul. We will see how that turns out.

I thought you didn't like forums...

Does anyone know specific regulations on promoting candidates at service academies? Before even mentioning it to my chain of command, I wanted to know if anyone here any insights.

Reccomendations:
- Include a Sudoku on the page. Seriously. It works. This will get people to actually keep the insert around during class. With this, you'll want to make the insert NOT glossy. People should be able to write on it easily.
- Concentrate on issues that are targeted toward college students. The liberty card has a pretty good run-down of the ones college-students favor: http://www.libertytalk.com/liberty_card.php
- Make sure there is a bullet-pointed list that covers what you REALLY want to get across. This list should stand out from everything else. Everyone will read through the bullet-point list so long as it is short and concise; then, the interested will read further into the paragraphs of information.

I like this idea a lot. I'll see how much it costs to get this done here at Purdue.

Let me know if you come up with a design. It sounds like a good idea! I know it'll cost me $375 (plus costs to produce). If you come up with a design that works, perhaps we could get bulk discounts. I was thinking inserts into campus newspapers, but your idea would also work as handouts!

Link to Articles/Flyers for College Students

What are some links to some good articles/flyers designed for college students?

Hi. See the 1st post in this thread. Jennifer linked to more than several very good ones.

would this help?

I had the though last night of creating a new campus organization, this organization while not directly linked to the campaign would most definitely lend an endorsement and try as hard as possible to win votes for Dr Paul.

Students for Freedom at the University of Texas - San Antonio.
"Free minds, Free markets, Free country"

I had this thought mainly as a way to get Ron Paul to speak on campus, I proposed the idea of getting Dr Paul here to Young Conservatives of Texas and was told they won't endorse anyone until after the primaries. I know the president (Laura Elizabeth Morales - you may remember her from CNN speaking kindly about the good Doctor) is a supporter of Paul but the organization just won't endorse anyone yet.

I then thought that this org could do well to promote ideas of liberty and freedom to the campus indefinitely.

Any thoughts?

 

[mdh]

I would say see if such an organization already exists. LP folks have setup campus groups across the country...

 

[m4ff3w]

Actually, we don't.

 

[m4ff3w]

The closest we have is Young Conservatives of Texas. Which won't actually endorse a candidate.

I'll see what I need to do to create a SO. My school has about 29,000 students. Hopefully I can spread the word on the good Doctor and liberty in general.

Anyone have any thoughts/guidance?

Merging

Please more descriptive titles when starting a new thread. Also, before starting a new thread, please check and see if one on your topic already exists. Taking a minute to read the guidelines makes the forum much easier for the other members.

Josh and Bryan put a lot of time, energy, effort and thought into how to make the forum as successful as possible.

Dear Friends and Members, I suggested that we discuss the issues as much as possible since Ron is right on the issues. It's what people want to hear. Try to tie the issues to Ron.

Look at this http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=608.

Hillary and other are not going to handle this any differently. I suggest we try to use these issues of opportunity to explain to people what we stand for. We should also create these issues. Spread this around.

There are six of us who have started a Write an Iowa Student e-mail program. This is an easy and effective way to get Ron's message out to college students across Iowa. We need at least 20 people cranking out about 100 a day (takes an hour) to cover all Iowa colleges in about one month. Drop me a private message or email at johnjackwagner2@yahoo for details.

This is starting to reap returns with several students writing back wanting to get involved.
