Used up all my calls to Iowans for the day

It was fun! I didn't get anyone going to the straw poll, but I made a lot of favorable impressions on people. I talked to a cool 14 year old kid, texted a chill girl named Holly, and got wished a nice day about 30 times!

Can't tell if serious...

If your being sarcastic, I know how you feel. Haven't gotten one person to go yet. If you are serious, yeah it's pretty fun spreading Ron's name and such.

Does anyone know the rules about the straw poll and Iowa caucuses? I believe you have to be a resident of Iowa or a student of an Iowa college (student ID) and then you can have a residence out side of Iowa. Is that true, and is that true for both the Ames and for the actually caucuses?

I may need to take a distance learning course from an Iowa community college...

Do you have any useful data from your presumably hours of calls?

Is this the official phonebank, or a phone bank that the official campaign does not want you to use?

You'd need a student ID from a Iowa college. Does that community college provide a student id?

[I am totally serious btw. I've gotten four people to go. Making 200 calls today. ]

To vote you need an Iowa college ID or an Iowa driver's license. That's it period

Here's some information.

Be fast. It's like your on a mission to find the needle in a haystack. A lot of people won't pick up. When you do get someone, sometimes they hang up right away saying, "I don't take political calls," be like "If you support Ron Paul, you want to take this call!" or "This isn't really a political call."

I've cut short the script a lot. I usually say stuff like "Hi is this ____?" (or if someone of the wrong gender picks up, to save time I say, "Is this the ____ residence?") Then, "I am a VOLUNTEER (with emphasis on volunteer) with grassroots for liberty." We're looking for RP supporters in your area? Do you support RP?" If no. "Okay. Have a great day, and I hope you do consider supporting RP in the future as he is one of the few honest politicians we have." People are almost always polite. One time a lady said, "I support Obama." I said, "Well, I hope you consider voting for RP, because if elected, he would bring ALL the troops home IMMIDIATELY." Got her thinking. You know?

Also, I sometimes say have a great weekend instead of nice day. Be fast. Be polite. Don't waste calls. If someone picks up, you better get an answer out of them, because they might just be an RP supporter. And either way, you let people know that RP is honest and he's cool enough that people VOLUNTEER to help him. If you go fast, you can blow threw 50 calls in not even half hour.

I'll post results from today. I'm excited.

I'm sure a non-drivers or sheriffs ID will do also.
