TV. The TV is more powerful than I had originally estimated. People use TV as validation of reality. If they don't see it on TV, it does not exist. If they see Ron Paul on TV then this will suddenly confirm their subconscious suspicions that all those imaginary signs they see everywhere might in fact be real.

I think Washington and Oregon are definately our best chance of any of the states left. We've seen that we have traction in the west and we gained much higher percentages there than in the rest of the country.

I hope Ron Paul decides to just focus on these 2 states. A 1st place win in one state is more important than a 2nd place finish in every contest in the rest of the 25 states.

Definately a necesity. TV should be our focus and if possible I suggest focusing on cable news channels because people who are going to the primaries probably watch these stations. Here in Nevada I saw a lot of Ron Paul ads but they were on the 3 big networks which gets a wide audience but probably isn't the most bang for our buck.

We Need Big Time Tv Ads!

Before you do ANYTHING else......
Ask youself -

"Will this get Ron Paul any votes?"

Things I don't think will qualify:

Quitting.
Sit-ins at news networks.
Blathering about running independent or third party.
Complaining about the campaign.
Spreading vote-fraud conspiracy theories.
Refusing to donate.
Refusing to canvass.

Considering our past performance with caucus versus primaries, chances in Washington could be a little diluted. We've got a caucus + primary system.

 

[free.alive]

Yes but the caucus affects the primary. go look at the Washington subforum to understand.

We need the help of every small group of Washingtonians, and every meetup group in the country!

Yesterday I drove from Bellingham, WA to Everett, Wa (a distance of about 80 miles) and I did not see one Ron Paul sign anywhere on Interstate 5. I really hope Washington and Oregon can get the ball rolling. We can't give up. We have to keep inching along.

NO AMNESTY
NO INCOME TAX, IRS, or FED
NO MORE WAR in IRAQ

My washington absentee ballot is in the mail. Voted Ron Paul!

I voted RP and I will be attending my caucus. Already know where it is and told work I need time off. Yakima has strong RP support. I am trying to get others to go with me besides my wife.

Wish us luck...

latkinson,

Make sure you find out where your local caucus is and bring RP supporters with you. It is a imperative you do this besides sending in your vote.

19 delegates from the primary and 18 from the caucus.

I spent $400 on 166 ads on cable..different stations..and was disappointed. I do not think signs and ads are the way to go. Programs, maybe..radio programs, news articles or letters to editors. No one really knows how bad the country is, Bush is, or the other candidates are..HEY!! I just had an idea! How about hosting a talk at the Library called Meet RP, and have refreshments and do it as a program free thing that they can put on TV for FREE and advertise in the paper for FREE..?

That sounds like a good deal to me though. The problem is that we need the ads running in eligable states for more than a couple weeks. Hillary ads saturated the local and cable stations and really seemed to pay off. The problem I had with the ads run here is that so few had clips of Ron actually giving a speech.

 

[free.alive]

It's too late for ads. We need direct contact with voters - calling or doorbelling.

You can't help us knock doors from afar - but you can host little calling parties and go through lists that can be given to your group.

Spread this around!
