Victory in North Dakota is within reach!

One awesome phonebanker's first 8 calls:
Left 1 voicemail
Spoke with 7 Ron Paul supporters
6 of those are going to Caucus plus 1 maybe
2 of those are bringing 2 more
2 are bring 1 more

So, 12 Ron Paul supporters to caucus in just 8 calls!

Donate, and call!!!

That doesnt tell us anything about effectiveness of this program. The real question is how many people does get persuaded to go and vote and not how many of them would get and voted without call..

P.s.
I am not criticizing so please dont go all gay claw attack on me.

This is true, though a statistical argument can be made that the high rate of those intending to vote for Ron Paul is mostly the result of the robocall, since 1) a miniscule percentage of the state will actually vote in the caucus and 2) the portion of the population reached by the robocall is quite small. The probability of these two groups of people overlapping to such a great extent would be low unless the robocalls themselves are persuading people to vote.

It would be nice to have empirical evidence to support this conclusion though.

But the main purpose of the phone-banking that we did last Friday with 1,500 robo-ID-ed Washingtion voters and today with 400 North Dakota robo-qualified phone numbers--apart from the robo-call id and message itself--is to inspire RP supporters to learn where, when, and how to vote and to actually commit to do it.

bnvalerie didn't answer the questions about how many of those committing to vote would have done so without the phone call. I just signed up a few minutes ago and I'm looking at the spread sheet right now and I can see from the excellent notes that the callers are making that there are lots of RP supporters who wouldn't have known where to be and when if not for these calls.

So, if you read the results reported on the WA threads from Friday, its proven that this method works at giving RP supporters knowledge of when and where to vote and changes their attitudes about actually doing it. Whether or not they actually follow through is another story.

But even if they do. We would have to have 10 times the callers we've had in order to make a big enough impact. I think the biggest thing I accomplished by skipping working on Friday and making phone calls was to contribute toward a proof of concept. And toward that end I think we were successful--we proved the concept. But the point of proving the concept was to inspire more phone callers for a day like today. And by looking at the spread sheet, we didn't succeed at that goal.
 
Rabbitman someone will be calling you to set you up now, sorry I was away for 2hrs..

anyways we only have like 7 people calling... Help out please!

Sign up here: www.rp2012.org
And send me a PM (I'll be quick now I'm back): name, phone, email

Please we need to turn out the calls! Only 7 people so far, which is so disappointing. Help out!!! GOTV, TODAY IS SUPER TUESDAY FOLKS!!! We need a win!
 
I think you should make a new thread urging people to join in on these final hours. The Thread Title doesn't really explain what this is about. And list the steps with all hyperlinks present in how to jump in. It was a little clunky(took me forever to realize that to register on rp2012.org I had to click on log-in first), we'll at least get 7 more people in.
 
More callers are needed! We had a lot of great callers for Washington, we need them all to help now! Let's reach every single RP supporter we can! GOTV!!!
