Sending Super Brochures to Huckabee Counties in Iowa

[Eric21ND]

According to AdamT there are 700,000 regular republicans in Iowa. Now, I concur that the Super Voter Bomb project takes precedence over these regulars republicans, but if we connect with these regular republicans and send them brochures that could mean the difference of winning or losing like we did at the Ames Straw poll by 150 votes.

The majority of these 700,000 republican won't take part in the caucus, but we don't need many to have a huge impact for Dr. Paul. Just crunch the numbers, a measly 1% of those 700,000 choosing to caucus for Ron Paul would mean another 7,000 votes! If we convert 2% and we're at 14,000 extra votes, on top of what our good polling numbers already show. Hell even if we only get half a percent to caucus, 0.5 x 700,000 = 3,500 votes. If the caucus draws 100,000 voters, 3,500 is still an extra 3.5%

I just bought S04, we're good to go for the next county, Eric.

Also chipped in another 50 bucks for super voter bomb just to prove you CAN support both at the same time.

Thank you for your donation of $50.00. It is greatly appreciated!

Sending a 4x6 "blue republican" anti-war postcard would do the trick there. They'd be cheaper to print and probably cheaper to mail also.

This actually could be a really good idea. How much would it cost to print and mail 10,000 of these and how can we get a list of democratic caucus goers?

Apparently there's an independent list as well. I know Ron Paul Products wanted to send mailers to them if we completed all the republican voters first.

I know foreigners can't contribute to the RevPAC effort, but does anyone know if foreigners can contribute to the direct mailing of brochures on ronpaulproducts?

Nope. Foreigners can't contribute to this either.

Now what? I assume he/they will mail the brochures to this Iowa county/precinct?

Why does the receipt have my shipping address on it??? I can't be mailing anything from here (NY), don't live alone etc.

You're not mailing anything. No worries.

how are they coordinating this with the Supervoterbomb? Do they make sure the same household doesn't receive 2 same brochures? Seems both projects target super voters.

I would feel like a complete retard knowing that I donated twice for the same house to receive the same brochure... Gotta reach DIFFERENT people, as many as possible, the masses are in the dark, gotta appeal to democrats too, almost everyone wants war to end, can target undecideds etc. Right?

Yes, they are coordinating with one another to the best of there abilities so there hopefully won't be any double mailings.

I haven't read all the pages on this, so it may have been brought up already, but is there a way to fund only a part of precinct? Is it legal to go half and half, or start a chip in that will go towards purchasing them?

Now that revpac isn't sending the DVD ... is that basically the same thing as what I described?
I'd like to give $20 towards the effort.

there are smaller precincts, just look for one in your price range.

Just thinking out loud on this - not trying to derail or take away from anything.
But ... should we diversify a little bit?
I'd say the campaign will probably be focusing more on republican lists than anything else (though I guess we aren't allowed to know) so should we also put some funding into the independent lists at the same time as this?
It would raise less funding for both causes but should it be approached with "balanced portfolio" logic?

Even still ... there isn't a good platform setup to mail independents so I'm fully behind this effort for now. Just wondering if we should also make mailing independents an option here soon.

+rep for your endless enthusiasm

I saw some precincts for under $10

I get what you're saying, but its a numbers game and by the percentages. Republicans are far more likely to vote in the republican caucus on a cold night in January. It's all about the rate of return. If we blanketed the state covering all republican voters first, then it would be feasible to reach out to independents, but we're still fighting to get through the republican voter list at the moment. We only have about 10 days to do this too, so time is of an essence!

Just my speculation for conversion rate:

Republicans willing to caucus for Dr. Paul after receiving mailing = 10-15 per 100 (10-15%)

Independents willing to caucus for Dr. Paul after receiving mailing = 1-3 per 100 (1-3%)

Democrats willing to caucus for Dr. Paul after receiving mailing = 1 per 1000 (0.1%)

Bump.
There is still about 16 precincts left.

Thanks for the bump. I'm not sure why this effort isn't taking off more. I was initially a big supporter of the Rev Pac effort, but I have more confidence in the Ron Paul Products project now.

The brochure sent by RevPac in the SuperVoterBomb packages will be different to the RonPaulProducts Super Brochure - get buying precincts!!!
