Activities on November 24th and 25th
Yesterday, Russell and I went down to Exeter to campaign. Russell converted 5 Mitt Romney supporters by just telling them everything he knew about Ron Paul. As our experience level develops, we are learning to talk people all the way from have you heard of Ron Paul to closing the deal by just educating them on THE MAN. Later Wes and Charley showed up and we campaigned hard at a fantastic spot on next to the public parking lot. We handed out TONS of everything. Flyers to the curious and undecided.
But what was most exciting was the local Ron Paul supporters who would stop, so excited to see us and asking for yard signs and DVD's and bumper stickers and slim jims and flyers. Then they would hop in their cars and speed off to start campaigning with the stuff we had just given them to their friends and neighbors. One lady gave us $100 dollars right on the spot to help us with our expenses up here.
We saw her again tonight when we did a sign wave in the same spot for a couple hours. I bet she felt like she had made a good investment.
We came home and I worked hard trying to put together a video blog of our activities on the 23rd. Crappy software issues have made that a work still in progress.
Today Charles and I left early to go to church at St. Josephs Catholic Church in Epping.

This past week, a woman told me that Rudy Giuliani was going to be in Seabrook today, so we went up there to do a little detective work.
Be Sure to read all of the video comments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYiuxI8ake8 We found the venue and made preparations to return to campaign.
When we got there, we stood outside holding signs for just a short period

We finally decided to move so as not to make a scene. We went out front and held up our signs and talked to some of the 'supporters' bussed up from New York City. That is an enlightening endeavor when talking to people who are in lala land about reality.
Rudy showed up and for a second I thought Russell whas going to take out the bus. Watch him in front fo the third bus.

How do we know they were bussed up? They told us. While we were doing our detective work we had no Ron Paul stuff evident and they spilled the beans.

Tomorrow I have to go home to get ready for a rally we are doing in Paducah, KY on the evening of the 28th at which Dr. Rand Paul is going to speak.
