We need to clear the confusion on Ron Paul

[TIMB0B]

Most voters are apathetic, so they only vote by party line, and/or only vote for who the media props up.

The media are also the ones labeling Dr. Paul as unelectable and a kook, and the average voter will agree without researching him.

I think if there's a way to get across his message in layman's terms, people may begin to wake up.

If there's not a website/flier out there, kind of like a FAQ, but that shows both sides of the argument, then there needs to be one. A "What 'they' (media/naysayers) say about him" compared to "What Ron Paul is really saying." Or some such. Basically, a FAQ that debunks the media's misinformed jargon with an explanation of Ron Paul's positions that help people understand why he (and everyone) should support them.

The media's smear of him being racist is a great example. His message of INDIVIDUAL rights over collectivism clearly debunks this, plus the fact that he didn't even write those newsletters.

I'll try and make a few fliers on photoshop, and upload them here first. Then once we get a few different ones we should make a website where people can easily download them

I found these.... http://www.bigeye.com/bulkflyers.htm

Those are great, but people need to understand why he voted for or against those bills. For example, Hannity and O'Reilly have brainwashed a large part of the republican voting bloc just by saying you're un-American if you're against the war -- a patriotic American supports the war on terrorism. It's blanket statements like that that have the masses duped into believing neo-con policy is the American ideal.

I agree, but passing out flyers like these will more than likely spark people's interest and cause them to seek out more information on Ron.

the only folks causing confusion are the gop establishment! The only thing stopping Ron paul is the corrupt gop and their lies on ron paul behind closed doors!! I will support Ron Paul as a republican delegate. I just wish he would run indy. The gop doesn't deserve Ron paul!!

Is it really illegal for anyone except USPS to put things into mailboxes? I know FedEx/UPS aren't allowed, but I wasn't aware private citizens are barred too...?

Yes, it is illegal.

Only postal delivery "officials" are allowed to put only duly canceled postal letters and packages in an "official" mailbox.

That why people have those newspaper boxes underneath the mail box.

Which are OK to put a flyer or slimjim in AFAIK.

Shouting End The Fed won't work. We must End The Fed to achieve liberty.
If we could End The Fed during Ron Paul's lifetime, then we would likely add 10 years to his life. And he would have a permanent smile on his face. That's how. I hope we can get it done soon. We will end it ... the sooner the better.

Google Ads? Leading to a reputable managed website with positive information on how Ron Paul's ideas are a real opportunity which provides peace and prosperity.

I think Google Ads is a GREAT idea. I just started a Facebook Ad Campaign with clickthroughs coming here to ronpaulforums.com, but if there is a single page website with RPs platform spelled out in a positive, persuasive fashion I would probably link to that as well.

With Google Ads we could target anyone who searched for terms like "National Debt" or "Income Tax". Does anyone know, can Google Ads be targeted by location as well? Probably best to start by going after Iowa and maybe New Hampshire at first.

I think Google Ads is a GREAT idea.

Cool. Let's do it.

Nice site. But sticking to the flier proposals, we'd need the issues to be more of one-liners. Like this...

What they say..........................................What Ron Paul really says...
"He's an isolationist."................................"I'm a non-interventionist."

Then a definition explaining the differences, which common sense (and the Constitution!) would always vindicate Dr. Paul's position (even to the neo-cons).

What do you guys think? It'd just a rough draft and I haven't done the graphic design yet.

I like it but i do have one suggestion. Have a couple of issues that some of the candidates agree with Ron on so it doesn't seem overly one-sided. I think if people think it's propaganda they will dismiss it easily but if it appears as a non-biased voter tool people will pay more attention and actually read it.

Just my 2 cents though

Yeah that's true, do you have any suggestions?

There was a website up for the 08 election, www.KnowBeforeYouVote.com. It's not up anymore, but I really hope someone saved this. It was spread on the forums during the 08 election season, and was made by someone from the forums - it was a presidential comparison that was biased toward Ron Paul, but seemed to be "fair". We really need to find this. I know someone's got it.

 

[eduardo89]

Ok this one is still obviously biased towards Ron Paul, but it at least gives a few ticks to other candidates too

 

[Dave Aiello]

Put Ron in the middle, and change the wording to give him some X's (but he will be the only X). For example: Supports a national ID card

 

[eduardo89]

Yeah alright I'll do that in my next edit, i'm going to bed now, its 9:30am and i havent slept yet!

lol man, i thought my sleeping habits were bad.

Also, can you edit the color of the check marks, so it's easier to differentiate? I say this for the old people.
