I rarely go, I do things on my own.
I often run into them at major events here though where I'm out pushing Ron paul.

the reason I do NOT go is because from my experience it is a lot of sitting around and talking about Ron paul to each other.
I want to be out on the streets, not at ome coffee shop making friends with people who like Ron paul.


I can't miss any I am the organizer for mine. lol But we have some truthers too and I just keep the topic to what we are doing. And when I first got there it was a bunch of people that liked Paul and just sat around to talk about him. I agree that was not my goal ---so what I did is took over as organizer. So you can do many different kinds of things to keep all involved.
 
50% don't go to meetup.

Normally only 1% donate to campains.

Looks like are numbers are alot higher than I thought.

BTW Truth usually comes up after the meetings are over. Not saying what kind of truth.

Gold, Silver, Food, Fuel, Tazars, ect. are fairly common. Thats why we are involved. If everything was fine just let Fox decide who you should vote for.

There are many Truths!
 
I started Meetup 37, so I used to go once a week or so. I had a lot of personal challenges present themselves in October, so I did the right thing and let someone else take over. I am sad to say, I haven't been much since then. I am still glad I was able to help as much as I did in the beginning. I need to start going again.
 
Get to your local meetup and don't let them dick around! Some local meetups may be dysfunctional and could use your help!



Yes you must take the initiative to kick some ass, get it done. Lead, and the others will follow, and everybody else can get out of the way!
 
Its hard as a die hard Ron Paul fan(atic) to start a group, organize the hell out of it, and have no one come. Sign makings, Sign waves, planning.... nadda. 1 maybe 2... including my husband, so thats a meeting we have every day anyway :)

Dont understimate sign waves. You can make FREE DVD signs and FREE YARD SIGNS signs. you can give out a lot of stuff just standing there on the corner.

I am only asking ONE HOUR this weekend from my group. I only have some 'maybes' right now. No one has said yes. The one person who I have a phone number for said, well are we going to be the only ones there, you and me? I dont want to look stupid....

what are you gonna do? its very discouraging but I can't expect that everyone will do as I do... right? thats what I tell myself but I still end up expecting it. No one comes to the meetings, no one is RSVPing for the sign wave, no one responds to the precinct captain email. I am not going to spend all my time trying to convince RP supporters to support him. I'll just go out and canvass alone.

sorry for the whining... just needed to get that off my chest.
 
Seriously folks, this is how we win. Ron will not win if YOU stay comfortably behind a computer drinking hot chocolate, while only 20% of the people on this site actually goes out and makes a difference. Every state is important, and every person is needed.

Stop being an Internet Spectator! While we appreciate your donations, that alone is not going to win it. I am a Meetup organizer of over 55 people and work with other Meetups in the area here in NY, which total to over 200 in the area. Between 3 groups we gather 20+ people for signs wavings a week and only get 6 or so people to go canvassing or phone banking. It is frustrating to see so many people pretend that they want to see change with our government and our country, but end up doing nothing about it that might get them out of their personal comfort zone. Trust me folks, going out in support for Ron is one of the most fun things in my life. The comradely developed from different supporters from all different philosophies and ways of life is very engaging. The exhilaration of seeing so many people honk when we have a good group in sign waving. It is something you will never forget, but only if you are part of it.

20 years from now, are you going to be complaining to your spouse and children about how badly the country has turned out, how you lost everything in the biggest depression this world has ever seen, and how we lost the Republic. Or instead are you going to boast to your children, how "Yes, I was there, and I fought in the revolution in 2008, I restored liberty and freedom to this great nation of ours, and I brought Ron Paul to the White House."

Get off your sorry, complaining, lazy butts and do SOMETHING that will actually help Ron win: Canvassing, Sign Waving, Phone Banking, Outreach to Senior Citizens and other groups. Ron WILL NOT WIN without you.

Go sign up at http://ronpaul.meetup.com and attend the meetings and volunteer at the activities. Now.
 
I have no answer. I have been to most of mine, but have missed some. Sorry this poll doesn't reflect me.
