Rand Paul Brochures

[Bastiat's The Law]

Yeah. I recalled those events. People were worried super brochures were hurting ron by over selling unnecessary points that might turn a voter off.

I don't remember if it were campaign brochures or super brochures, but there was a page with coffins on it that offended or upset some voters.

As I said before, ask people what are the main issues and specifically try to win them over by discussing or giving brochures specific to those issues.

They carpet bombed Iowa and New Hampshire with those things and they turned out to be two of Ron's best states in raw numbers. I never ran into anyone upset by a handout.

The campaign spent millions as well. Super brochure was a drop in the bucket, and only mailed to a fraction of voters. It was a poor use of resources, except perhaps in states where the campaign was not targeting voters.

People will spend their own money as they see fit. Some will opt to donate to the campaign, some brochures, and other won't vote at all. It's all an exercise in personal liberty so I applaud it.

Sure, do whatever you like. But as has been pointed out, the super brochures could have been sold for far less than they were. If there is a demand for such, I hope someone here will make competing ones with less skimming involved. I will also continue to point out that the campaign should provide, or at least sell pamphlets as they did last time. I by no means expect the campaign to be fully competent, but they should at least have campaign material. Also I think there should be more focus on local elections.

You just pointed out an opportunity in the market, let's see if anyone fills it. There was big demand for the brochures because the campaign material was awful in comparison. Reminds me of the commercials the campaign rolled out. Heck, the Youtube videos individual people made blew the campaign's commercials out of the water.

Just to remind you that the campaign doesn't always know best

This is known, but super brochure is not going to fix that. I hope someone relatively ungreedy fills the demand if there is one. I also hope liberty minded donors will look into some smaller candidates.

One or two issues brochures could be really effective. Guns on the front, abortion on the back for example.

It really depends on the county. I wouldn't send anti-abortion brochures to eastern Iowa for example.

Explain.

Explain.

Meme's will be a way more effective and simpler way to relay whatever message the candidate wants SPECIFICALLY for the under 30 crowd who will get wind of these through the internet come election time especially since it will be a Presidential one.

The campaign asked us through the backdoor to stop sending out the super brochures because they were hurting Ron....they were the ones that had coffins on them and other stuff like links to 911 Truth, etc.

I like the idea of a grassroot effort distributing brochures but I think the brochures should be done by the campaign.

I never seen brochures with 9/11 Truther or coffins in Iowa or NH. Not saying it didn't happen, but I've never seen them (seen thousands of the nice glossy ones in the OP), nor did I run into anyone offended by a brochure (again thousands of people). I'm starting to believe its an old wives' tale or perhaps a small-scale smear campaign.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

I don't know about you guys but this gives me goosebumps! Is it time for Rand's campaign yet

 

[PatriotOne]

Nope...I remember it quite well. The brochure went through some changes during the mailings. Some went out though with coffins and a link to a 9/11 Truth website (can't remember which one now though). Though some changes were made due to feedback but not before a lot were sent out.

I still like the idea of a mass mailing brochure by the grassroots but we def need approval by the campaign of what to send out. Lessons learned.

 

[PatriotOne]

They create them and we buy them for pennies to mail. Sounds good to me..lol.

 

[William Tell]

But I think you get cheaper mail rates if you have a big group, isn't it more expensive to put stamps on them?
