A couple of weeks ago I went to an amusement park and wore my Vote Ron Paul T-shirt. My wife overheard some people behind us in line saying "Who is this Ron Paul guy? I am seeing banners for him on the overpasses on my way to work." (MY wife told me about overhearing this on the way home, I wish I had heard them I would have been glad to share!)
Also, several people at work have said to me that they are seeing a lot of signage around their neighborhoods and they have kind of jokingly asked "Is that you putting those all up?" And I just smile and say "No, there are a lot of us involved!"
A couple of the guys at work have even become pretty strong supporters of RP, and people are also at least investigating and finding out.
Not saying we still don't have a long way to go, but word IS getting out.
I also have an idea for how we can literally blanket the country with Ron Paul. I have been wanting to move on this for some time and I just don't have the skills necessary so.....
First off, we need a really well done DVD. (Aravoth are you there?) The format of the DVD needs to be something like a 5 minute introduction to RP (just an overview maybe some youtube clips, etc.) then we need to get about a 5 minute speech on each issue (start with and emphasize strong positions like the War in Iraq, maybe spend more time on this because he explains his position so well.) but also say the top ten issues. So we are looking at about an hour video.
Then at the end of the video we need to make like a multi-level marketting presentation. Maybe briefly show how RP has been blacked out by the old media and then make a plea to help us get around the old media with this campaign.
All they need to do is order 10 copies of the DVD for $10 (we could also include permission to reproduce it themselves for non-profit). Basically each person needs to either have a party and invite 10 friends over for pizza and to watch the video or distribute the 10 copies. We essentially need to use the multilevel marketting model but this is not for money this is for our freedom. $10 is not much to invest and I think this could really be great to get the word out.
Like I said this was something I really wanted to put together myself, but I just don't have the video creation skills to do it justice. Anyone want to tackle this, think it is a good/bad idea?
We all know that the vast majority of people that hear the message become supporters - I think this could really take off.

) I'd either buy predone copies or ... hell, it can't be THAT hard to burn a dvd and this would be incentive for me to figure out exactly how to do that.
