Ron Paul Grassroots Resources

Ron Paul Grassroots Resources:

If you haven't heard of them yet, there are some new groups out there to help you promote Ron Paul. The most prominent ones are:

Ron Paul Graphics
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RonPaulGraphics/

and

Ron Paul Writers
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RonPaulWriters/

These are pools of artists and graphic artists as well as writers and editors that will help local Ron Paul grassroots groups produce material for flyers, etc. A new batch of yard signs that can be locally produced was being reviewed yesterday – so look forward to those, and a new bunch of bumper stickers too!


Ron Paul Video Posters
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RonPaulVideoPosters/

has been around for while and is about all things video – especially youtube, google video and creating a DVD of Ron Paul vids.


A new profile and group has been created on myspace: Bands4RonPaul and Bands for Ron Paul, respectively. The former has over 500 friends, most of them bands. I'm glad the promoter that pushed this effort took the idea / resource and ran with it. I was mainly thinking music contest and CD for name and issue recognition, they are talking about sponsoring fundraisers and festivals all over the country! It was over-ripe, with people talking about this kind of thing anyway.

Finally we have sister sites set up for the writers, graphics and bands groups on RonPaulForums.com (NOT RonPaulForum.com – which is new). This site also has devoted sub-forums for legal and delegate issues and one for technical projects, like home-brew campaign dialers, LED signs, disk duplicators, programming and so on. These are all resources set up so local meetups can access them directly, without the bureaucracy or control of having to go through some chain of command. Suggestions for projects and commentary of works in progress are MOST WELCOME!

I should note that there is also an old RonPaulProgrammers group that needs to be put back on track, and a new Programmers4RonPaul group that at the moment seems to have a narrow focus, but we will see.

IRC: <== this one seems to be the most popular!

The website is www.efnet.org
Use whatever username you want
the chatroom is #ronpaul


AOL:

If you don't have AOL Instant Messenger, go to www.aim.com

and get it!

If you do! Follow these instructions.

Sign on, pick a buddy that you want to introduce to Ron Paul and right click on his/her name (make up a buddy like abcdef and add them to your list if you don't want to invite anyone) and then go to the Chat menu, and then select Buddy Chat.

In the buddy chat, it will show a box of people you have invited and also a box for "Chat Room:"

In that Chat Room box, type "ronpaul" and you will be entered into the chat. You will also probably get a warning that abcdef doesn't exist, but that doesn't matter because you are in the chat!

As a final note, I've been collecting an inventory of what Ron Paul groups and sites are out there – well, several inventories as well as working on gathering contact information and adding them to the distributed distribution network and periodically spreading what groups are in what state to members of state specific groups. The intent here is is that everyone network and get on-board the MeetUp groups so we can move to boots on the ground, grassroots action! Within each individual state, see if you can pool print jobs for a lower cost, and pick someone to be your liaison to the PCC (National) based on effort and performance, at least until the national campaign gives us a state coordinator. The only thing that counts is results! - Not vapor-ware.

We've also been working on getting all the organizers and moderators of Ron Paul social networking sites and other Internet resources talking together to share ideas and discuss issues. That is coming along nicely. If you own a Ron Paul state, city or projects group or other Internet site, and I haven't gotten in contact with you yet, please contact me!

Thanks,

Thanks Tanget

Hey thanks for posting this Tanget! I just stumbled accross it here searching for posts about us. Here is some more updated information. About
www.myspace.com/bands4ronpaul


We are now the central hub in the world for bands/musicians/djs supporting Ron Paul's Campaign. We posts our lists of bands out to all the nations
Ron Paul Meetup groups which are larger in Number than any other campaign group in America with literally hudreds of meetups forming every week in all
communities. This could be a chance for you to get your name out there to millions of people and get your work included in CDs, Videos, or anything to help
Ron Paul awareness grow. This is more than an election to us. We know Ron Paul can make history and we can be apart of it! There's never been a World
Peace leader like this to get a chance to lead in America.

Come check us out. We're in touch with the Official Campaign now too and
are discussing the plans for the first Ron Paul Concer Project tentativly scheduled for July 4th in possibly San Antonio. Come to the page for more details.
many many more partys, festivals, concerts, events are going to go into effect once we coordinate more Promoters/Event Planners in other cities to work
with us, and establish their own Ron Paul musical events. And compilation CDs are comming soon, which will be sent out to all the groups and then copies can be made by supporters and given out everywhere they go! So any musicians will really get ALOT of attention for this by just getting a decent Ron Paul song to
us.

One last note, Jack Blood wrote me yesturday about interviewing me on his
radio show. Ive got more things to confirm before I go on there and blab about anything too soon by accident, but Ill see about doing this and encourageing All Ron Paul supporters listening to Definatly find their local Ron Paul meetup group
and attend meetings. The experience is a Blast and I loved getting into mine
in Austin Tx. Ron Paul enthusiasm is totally like a Virus and Addiction. (Check out the Ron Paul addiction video on our page in the blog) It echos the sentiments of so many of us! Take Care yall and hope i seeya on B4RP!
