So what has been happening after these Ron Paul events? after he speaks, does somebody take the stage and start delegating duties or encouraging tabling/canvassing? This is the type of thing that needs to be done.
I hope they at least pass sign up sheets for names and email addresses for GOTV during school break....
I guess I can speak on my own experiences at RP events.
California GOP convention:
After Ron Paul spoke, they made an announcement that if we were going to vote for Ron Paul at the straw poll, we should get going and they made the necessary alerts. Cool with me.
I honestly think with the huge crowd, we should've been out on the streets at a specific time to do sign bombing.
It also would've been extremely productive to get people to meet up with RP supporters LOCAL to each other and discuss future local events with a group leader that has experience in the campaign process and event planning.
I, of course, was not leadership and didn't feel like it was my place to tell the leadership what to do but I do regret keeping my mouth closed.
Recent Ron Paul meetup, we had a picnic and after leadership spoke and made their announcements, we should've once again, broken down to smaller groups with people around the same areas and talked about future events, I brought it up with the leadership and was 'sort-of' shot down. I didn't understand why but I just took it as a no and did my own thing with the RP supporters.
I just think we need a change in attitude, the attitude needed for a WIN. Keep our eye on the prize and look at the big picture.
