Going to Iowa - From Phoenix
We have two faces that we display when we go to a state (Arizona - New Hampshire – North Carolina – South Carolina – Utah – Maine – Missouri - Iowa (next week) and then Nevada), The Ron Paul Revolution has been very effective in getting buzz going and attracting the young. But we also have high quality printing that is much more “Republican” oriented (a list of samples can be found here
http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Feature-Article.htm?InfoNo=019800 ) If you can get back to us on what material you might like to make use of the most we can make sure that you are fully supplied,.. as long as it does not go to waste.
Please keep in mind that the RonPaulRevolution is an open source thing and there is no one in charge, no central command and no one to say the word "No". Only your imagination is the limit to what you can do. Understanding that we have continued to add ideas, techniques and material that we personally here in Phoenix are willing to pay for, to what we produce for the use of others that like it. Some of the Phoenix activists drove and flew to Utah for the GOP Convention and had lots of fun and were very effective. For Iowa I get to be the courier of goodies. I just hope I can bring enough.
We also have a DVD duplicator that has the capacity to duplicate DVDs at a rate of about 100 – 150 DVDs an hour (depending on the length of the material). We have our own DVD that we use to promote Ron Paul at various gatherings that are Republican in nature but are certainly willing to make the machine available for your use as well. If you need help editing material and creating an original DVD that features your efforts or wish to add your material to some material you would like to use of ours then we are able to help with that too. We are bringing a video camera for raw footage but it takes about 18 hours to “render” a large file to create the master disk before you get into warp speed duplicating, so that'll have to be done later.
The individuals of the RonPaulRevolution (at least here in Phoenix where it started) have nothing to do with the official Ron Paul Campaign. Some are members of various Meetup groups and are very active in the promotion of activism in support of Ron Paul, but none are part of any central command and are free to exercise their freedom of expression in any manner they wish as individuals (you know,… that libertarian thing). We always say Yes,… no one is in any position to say “No” to another’s efforts and we work together very well while enjoying the effort we each have time to make as individuals (with that said…)
Many people here in Phoenix are in high production of material we are taking to Nevada and Iowa. I’ll be in Iowa from Thursday thru Saturday the 30th to make certain that Iowa knows Ron Paul has a presence there. We’re certain that others will also make an effort,… but just to make certain, we’re adding our effort. This close to the August 11th Iowa Straw Poll we can’t take a chance that he isn’t the talk of the town after being denied an invitation to the Tax Forum with all of the other candidates. The seeking of "permits" from the very 'machine' that was responsible for not inviting Ron Paul in the first place worried enough of us that know better than to ask permission under such circumstances to raise the resources to make sure that it is understood that we don't need no stinking permit to save America.
We are experienced Liberty Activists and understand the importance of a professional demonstration. We are also very much of the opinion (and experience) of when a well placed "peaceful Revolution" is the most effective (it's a freedom thing - No Worries, we won't be in the way)
A week later, Ron Paul’s participation in the FreedomFest on July 7th is another great opportunity for many supporters to attend and make sure he is the talk of the town over the 4th of July week in 'Fabulous Las Vegas Baby!' and for many of his hard working supporters here to take a short break and enjoy the city and the event. The FreedomFest has many personal friends as speakers and attendees of several of us and we are very motivated to demonstrate the passion of support for Ron Paul to a very important and well funded group of individuals that can make a big difference in the effort. We already have a great deal of support from many of these people and many residents of Las Vegas so we are really happy to put what their support has created on display for them. I hope many of you can benefit from the extra traffic we hope to create in addition to other efforts around the country and will welcome our enthusiasm. We have no intention of diverting any of your efforts from what you may already have planned. We know what we are going to do and how, but we have extra time and resources that we would love to share with you for your use. Not the least of which is a few people willing to sweat for a few hours a day in the service of volunteers in Iowa and Nevada in the near future.
Las Vegas Volunteers:
At least 2 of us from Phoenix will be there for the entire week _working_ (sign production & placement, distribution of material and meeting with supporters) the vast majority of the Phoenix RPR will start coming in on the Fourth and will peak on Saturday. We already have a base of operations but we would very much like to be your slave labor as often as you can make use of us since we are full time Ron Paul supporters for this week in Fabulous Las Vegas ( we are very excited about this Fabulous Las Vegas trip J )
So please use and abuse us. We have plenty of time to do what we have planned and hope to fill the rest of the time helping supporters in Las Vegas. Please let us know ASAP what you find of use from our material since we are making a print order now for Monday printing for use over the next 6 weeks or so. We also have additional material coming.
Thanks,
Ernie
