**RED ALERT** South Carolina needs our help NOW!!!

I live in Columbia, SC and it's pretty dead here as far as outreaches from any campaigns really. Saw a Newt 2012 sign in downtown Columbia..that's about it.
 
The campaign just scored over what it was asking for.. A $5 chip-in isn't much to ask to ensure a victory!
 
Donating to the super brochures instead of the campaign undermines the thousands of hours beings dedicated to phone from home for direct voter targeting...

How so?

Especially if someone is maxed out.

There are only 300 people who are maxed out to the campaign.

Otherwise, how so? Use some logic. Do the super brochures target based off of the data the phone from home program has spent thousands of hours to collect?

The campaigns postage is also 1/3rd of the super brochure
 
Can someone expand upon what's going on in Ohio? Are we not on the ballot, and if not by how many signatures?

So maybe it is less efficient, but how could it hurt?

But I'll agree with you, focus on Phone from home for Iowa and NH

I propose we send brochures to the low-turnout states that we must win....that the campaign is giving little attention to. Maine, Nevada, Alaska, etc.

I think the word "undermines" is a bit much. Inefficient, maybe, wasteful, maybe.

There are Ron Paul people, official campaign, in Maine. I can say that.
 
I understand that Iowa is currently of prime importance. Yet the thing that always baffles me is why Paul doesn't poll better in the southern states. It really makes no sense to me at all, to the point of anger. Let's get to the facts and reality here. A strategy for the southern states that incorporates the 10th amendment, secession, and nullification, along with frequent references to John Calhoun would be immensely beneficial. Your overall message doesn't need to be uniform in regards to the issues across the entire country. Different geographical and demographical areas call for different issues to be more or less prominent. Without changing positions, simply highlight some issues more than others in certain different areas. Common sense would say that materials for the south should be drastically different from those used in the northern states.
In the southern states, tone down some things, without corrupting the message, and highlight nullification and other things that are historically unique to the region. Why not address the fact that Lincoln was a horrible disaster as dictator?

We need MORE support in Greenville SC - this is a *key* area and was strong for Paul in the debates and original tea party rallies in this area. I live in Greenville and am available to help, as a business owner who works from home presently, so I have lots of time. I'm doing phone from home.

Pulled from Columbus for Ron Paul:
I know there was a bit of unease over whether Ron Paul actually would be on the ballot, when other frontrunners filed here and he didn't. (You're gonna like the reason Paul didn't have to...) http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/BillText129/129_HB_369_PS_N.html

"Any candidate for the presidency of the United States who has raised at least five thousand dollars for the primary election in each of twenty states from individuals, with a maximum of two hundred fifty dollars per contributor counting toward the threshold, may file with the Secretary of State a declaration of candidacy not later than four p.m. of the sixty-seventh day before the day of the 2012 presidential primary election." ....

In other words, Ron Paul didn't have to collect 1000 signatures in Ohio because HIS money came in small amounts from "the little people" -- NOT from corporate contributors like the other candidates received. THAT is why the others had to file the 1000 signatures, and Ron Paul didn't!!!! Hmmmm--has the Columbus Disgrace mentioned THAT? I think they need to, don't you? Shall we write Joe Hallett [email protected] and Jim Siegel [email protected] in a followup to this article: http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2011/12/08/candidates-lining-up-to-run-in-2012.html where they forget to mention the above little detail about our candidate?
