Stickied thread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?306767-URGENT-Phonebankers-Needed

I have 637 Iowa phone numbers of Ron Paul leaners (I don't say "supporters" because all they've done for Ron Paul is press a button on their phone) without anyone to call them and invite them to the Ames straw poll. Andy Demers from the Ron Paul campaign says their hands are full, while rp2012.org is focused on the Ames/Des Moines area and also seems to have a full plate.

If you're available to make calls right now, please send me an email at r gear y i i i at g mail dot com with your RPF username and I'll send you a list of 25 phone numbers. If I don't reply quickly, then call me at ( Two Five Three ) Two Four Two - Eight Seven Two Two.

I'd prefer it if you've had experience phonebanking for the campaign, but I'll see how picky I can be after I see how many responses I get. I'd like to say you'll encounter about one Ron Paul supporter willing to commit to attending for every ten numbers you'll dial (as others who have used my lists have reported), but these numbers are concentrated around Cedar Rapids (two hour bus ride from Ames), meaning it could be rough.

Unlike rp2012.org, which is giving out their own ticket vouchers, my goal is to direct people to IowaForRonPaul.com and pass the contact details of solid supporters on to the campaign (which is perfectly legal). I'll be giving you a script that gerryb has used with success.

If you're uncomfortable with doing phonebanking that isn't part of the official campaign, then all I ask is that you give one of these lists a try. If you encounter more Ron Paul supporters using the campaign's phone from home program, then keep using it. If you encounter more Ron Paul supporters calling these lists, then use them. The goal is to maximize the number of votes for Ron Paul in the Iowa straw poll.

I have over $4,000 pledged for more robopolling, which I can begin spending on identifying more Ron Paul supporters as soon as this list has been called.

I think phonebanking any time between 12pm and 9pm Central should be as good as any other on a Saturday. Keep this bumped tomorrow (Sat).

I'm going back to sleep (it's 3:15am here), but if anyone wants to start phonebanking, send me an email and call me on the phone number given in the stickied thread if I don't respond quickly (I'll hang up and email you so as not to wake my wife up).
 
Sorry to those who called and didn't reach me--that phone number wasn't forwarding to my cell phone like I intended.
 
This is effective. only three days to go! Campaigning is more effective in the last 2 weeks before the election, and two times more effective in the last week.... strike while the iron is hot!
