Ron Paul will let us smoke all the weed we want till the Statue of Liberty takes her clothes off!
That ought to get the kids out out to vote!
In all seriousness, I do feel we should emphasize that aspect of Paul's campaign, somehow. Not the message of drugs, but the liberties to do so.
We don't need to craft a message to appeal to young voters. They like us already.
They need GOTV.
We need to get them to the polls.
We're calling supervoters. They're the ones who already vote.
18-29 year olds are NOT getting reminded to vote.
The old people get the reminder call.
Maybe if all 18-29 men got the reminder calls, we'd be in good shape.
All of the actual message that the campaign is putting out is NOT hitting 18-29 year men. But they like us anyway.
We don't include 18-29 year old men (the ones who have never voted) into our call lists. They aren't part of our GOTV efforts.
We don't know anything about them. They don't get their doors knocked on and they don't get superbrochures in the mail. The most passionate
young supporters might give their data to the campaign, but that would likely be it.
Yet, even though the 18-29 men are ignored - they still vote.
The old people - they are being called over and over by not only Paul, but everybody.
The young people - not being called.
Who remembers to vote? The one being called all the time.
So, if we, the grassroots, want young people to vote, you have to figure out how to do that.
Start doing this. We should be entirely focused on 18-29 males and "HOW TO VOTE".
The official campaign is doing the official campaign stuff well. We shouldn't be duplicating what they're doing. If you don't think that grabbing people and dragging them to the caucus, the official campaign has many worthwhile things to do, like calling someone over and over, so much that they didn't vote for Ron Paul. It is important to do that. Not saying it isn't.
