Send "The Revolution: A Manifesto" to all national convention delegates

[Kotin]

we always expected them to have some plan up their sleeves..


and they never did, they just winged it.


i doubt the savings of 5 million is any different, unfortunately.

It seems to me that sending a copy of Ron Paul's new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto would be a good idea, and relatively inexpensive.

2,380 delegates * $15 each = $35,700
2,230 alternates * $15 each = $33,450

With a bulk purchase of this size, I'd think it could be much cheaper.

Maybe the official campaign is planning on doing this already?

For the record, no, I'm not a national delegate looking to get a free copy of the book.

Actually, it shouldn't cost that much because the delegates who are already supporters of Ron Paul should buy their own copies.

We need HQ to get us the list.
We need the campaign website to the sell the book.
The website needs to include a “ship this book to a friend “option. To insert an alternate shipping address.

We Could take it from there but we would still need…
A grassroots organization to confirm volunteers and to check off names when they are done.
This would be a small group of loyal people to break up the list to, say 10 people, 460 addresses each.
4,600 people to promise that they will buy 1 book and have it shipped directly to the address given.
A thread would have to be started to collect names of people who volunteer for this assignment.
This thread should be limited to comments that say “I will volunteer”.
Each confirmed volunteer will be given 1 name and address to ship a book to.
When they have bought their copy of the book and it is sent to their given address, they should edit their comment on the “Volunteer for this assignment” thread and post their confirmation and shipping info as proof that the book went out to the right place.

The thread should be just 4,600 comments “I will Volunteer - Confirmation”. To make it easy to cross people off the list as they are completed.

I know there are people out there that can afford to buy multiple books, but I wouldnt want to trust 1 person with more than one name, that way if one fails, we only lose the one name.

I think somone should setup a chip-in for people that want to buy multiple books, to buy books for people that fail to live up to their obligation and don’t post their confirmation.

So, are there 4,600 of us left? Is this goal achievable?

In Georgia, our Ron Paul delegate meetup group is passing the books out by congressional district. So far 8 out of 13 are covered.

We're adding a personalized letter and a Ron Paul DVD to the package, and plan to get them out by the State convention.

I really think the idea is great, but that it should be done locally (kinda like public education). We can make it more personal locally and possibly even deliver them in person.

Also, it would be kinda weird if any delegate got swamped with more than one book. Then they'd REALLY think we're nuts.

Gotta do something educate them.

Where's the chip-in?

I don't like the idea of grassroots being able to get the entire list of all national delegates.. they'd get a bunch of crazy letters and packages from "Paul supporters" (real or fake..).

"Conservative Media PAC" hardly sounds Paul-like.

I'm forming a PAC to do it. I figured since I was organizing the anti-McCain pamphlet, might as well give the delegates a solution a week later.

Maybe the campaign could find a list, and have "send a copy of the book to Nancy Green" for sale, for each delegate. And we'd give the money needed for that.

make a mailing list and if people want to send to them, they can mark them off the list so we dont double send. im in for sending 10. just my thoughts

 

[SilentBull]

This is huge! I think Ron Paul's book can really change the minds of a lot of delegates, especially the ones that dislike McCain.

Selfish bump... just because the OP feels like being a self-serving pretentious ass today who wants to pat himself on the back for coming up with the idea first, after spending most of yesterday in family court proving to the court that he is, indeed, worthy of being a father to his 12-year old brilliant Ron Paul supporting son in order to continue raising him properly, and worthy of keeping joint custody, rather than granting full custody to his mother who would surely collect child support, go on welfare, and make sure that the brilliant 12-year old Ron Paul supporter never hears the name Ron Paul again, never hears Ron Paul's message, never learns what it truly means to be a US citizen, and never learns what a truly awesome gift and responsibility he has inherited.
