Some General Thoughts about exposure

I was agreeing with you, BLS.

I understand the viewpoints against centralization.

But let me give you an example of why doing it unorganized is bad.

How many sites have "Iowa Trip" threads/meetups?

I'll bet you can find 10 sites with a Iowa Trip scheduled for June 30th.
Each site having between say (for argument) 5 and 20 people going.

So, instead of having between 50 and 200 supporters, you got 10 teams of 5 or 10 teams of 20, and the very real possibility is that these teams may be around the corner from each other and not even know.

The argument is it leaves this support very much in the arms of 'chance'.

It would be my experience, that the people attending are or will be looking on other websites, etc., to find others who are doing the same thing and are working out where to meet (or not agreeing where to meet and doing their own thing).

Though, like I suggested last night, having a action item message board that is common to all Ron Paul supporter's, but not OWNED by any one group would be handy for these people to check and see where others are meeting.

I suspect they will all recognize each other anyhow. They can just look for the intelligent beings, or the one's holding the Ron Paul signs

What about putting up a site where people sign up for "Unofficial Email Updates"? So if something like the Iowa thing comes up again, we can send out an email directing them to this forum for further discussion/directions on the Action Plan.

The admins from this forum could be the ones to send out the mass emails to everyone that signs up for the Unofficial updates.

If everyone has a few links from their sites to this central "Unofficial Email Updates" site, and if the official campaign had a link to this site, most Ron Paul supporters should be able to find that site.

I guess the other campaigns could sign up for our unofficial updates, but they probably read this forum anyway, so there isn't much difference. Just a thought.

There are enough people that cross back and forth between the many online forums that the information gets passed and organically organized using online tools like meetup and eventful.
Good sociological study too.
