Scary Poll! Stay away! DANGER!

[ronpaulfan]

Immediate and thorough door-to-door canvasing is the only way Ron Paul will become president. Don't get satisfied with the media coverage he's received since the 5th. Don't think that is enough, it may be too little too late! Get to your local meetup and don't let them dick around! Some local meetups may be dysfunctional and could use your help!

This is kind of telling isn't it? Fine...I'll attend more!!

I intentionally worded it to make you feel guilty no matter what you answered

F*** you frank!

My meetup has a few 9/11 Truth folks who have made sure that no one who shows up for their first meeting ever comes back. At one point we had about 20 people. I'd be surprised if three show up now.

I pamphlet on my own and talk to my friends and coworkers instead.

has anyone ever told them to keep it seperate? they can be removed from the group if after asking them to keep the two agenda's separate they refuse.


I am the Co organizer of a large group and we have a lot of activities that if i miss people actually get upset... we have several co organizers though so as long as one of us are there its usually ok.

At first seeing those numbers made me mad... but it will depend on if people who aren't in meetups are still doing something without being in a group.. i wish that option had been on the poll

I'm a truther X 1,000,000 but I think anyone who brings it up at meetups deserves this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBniotY7h9I

I can't answer the poll, it doesn't have one that works for me. My husband and I set up our meetup group and ran it for four months. We went to every meeting, and we made sure there was a large group of dedicated assistant organizers to jump in at any time. My husband is in the Navy so we knew his work schedule could change and he could be out at sea for months at a time. A couple of months ago his work schedule got out of control and we couldn't make many of the meetings. (Also, our group most of the time has several different groups within it, and there are days when there are several different meetings at different places at the same time.) So, for the last while our assistant organizers have stepped up and have been running the meetups. And, since my husband is going out to sea for most of the next six months. I will be moving back to Oklahoma and will not be available to participate in our local group.

So, I really don't know where I would fit on the poll.

Once or twice a week works.

This poll was designed more to shame people than get actual metrics

Wow, sounds like 50% of the people just aren't "finding" the time and the other half had a bad experience.

For the 50% of who are complaining of not enough time, I am a full time college student, I work 30 hours a week, am starting up my own business and still make 75% of all of our events. Trust me, you CAN find time to go to a meetup.

For the 50% who have had a bad experience at the Meetup, change it! Tell the truther that no one cares at this group, we are here for Ron Paul and to get him elected, not listen to theories about 9/11... if you think they are sitting around to much, organize a literature drop or something. It doesn't take rocket science...

In the Grand Rapids group we have 1 meeting a week where we sit down and organize, then we usually have 2-3 other events where we actively go out and do whatever we can to get the good word out.

I am honestly shocked at this poll... all I can say is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get out and help your Meetup. I am sure your Meetup organizer would love to hear from some willing volunteers... sorry this is almost making me sick

The thing is my local meetup isn't doing anything. As I said, I pamphlet by myself and I talk to my friends and coworkers. I have personally gotten at least 10 people to switch their registration to Republican. I say that not to boast, but to say meetups aren't the only way to work for Ron Paul. If your meetup is doing good things I salute you and yours. If you need some money for something set up a chipin and post it here. I'll help if I can. I don't feel the least bit of shame about not being active in my meetup because my meetup is not doing anything. Please don't tell me to get more involved with them and "take charge" because I'm not a "take charge" kind of guy. Everybody is not an organizer. Some of us are foot soldiers. I like to think I'm a sniper. I work well on my own and when I see a target of opportunity I strike.

on th rbight side, this show you how far we are from working at full capacity, mean, we've only seen the beginning of what we can do grassroots.

I do other work besides attending meetups.

Some of us live in small towns and don't have meetup groups available.

You could start one. If it's a very smal town (in a rural area, say), you could start one for your area. Once there's one there, other people will start to join in.

 

[smtwngrl]

Wow! 50% have never attended? That's the last thing I expected. And I thought I was bad. *sheepish look* This does make me resolve to try to go more often, though.

Thanks for bringing out the bright side. What you say is so true.
