a week is like an eternity to an organizer
OH MAN. I've been busy.
6 hours last weekend working on signs/banners for South Carolina.
15 hours Mon and Tue folding flyers, inserting double-sided half-page flyers (pro-2nd amendment report card from GOA on one side & pro-life stance on the other)into them, putting labels on DVD's, inserting RINO card paks with small RPREVOLUTION stickers and a small half-fold $20 bill (when you open it up and find out it isn't a twenty inside it says "Disappointed? Not if you put Ron Paul in the White House!!!"
) into the DVD sleeve, inserting two bumper stickers into ANOTHER flyer and then inserting all that into a small lunch bag stamped RON PAUL REVOLUTION - and we did 2000 out of the 10,000 we are in the process of doing - to send along with 109 signs and banners, cases of t-shirts, stencils to make more signs and banners, and more stuff I am prolly forgetting about to South Carolina for the Greenville Rally.
Wed I cut a stencil for a new sign design that one of our members created and painted on coroplast, and that took me a couple of hours because of all the small letters.
I can't put in print what I did Thursday, but it involved 280 pushcards.....
Friday I got with the state coordinator for a minimeeting, and to get 2500 more pushcards and a stack of bumper stickers to hand out at Ozfest next Tuesday, and Rush next Friday. 8:00pm Friday night, I get a call from one of the state coordinator's assistants saying sorry for the late notice, but there is a Home Schooling Convention being held at the Convention Center downtown tomorrow, and could I rustle up some help in passing out pushcards & info?
I was there from 8:00am until about 1:30pm, and 6 of us (on & off) handed out about 1500 cards and 500 copies of Ron's stance on Homeschooling. We probably could have stayed a little longer, but this is Arizona, and by 1:30 the sun had come over the building and started roasting us, so it was time to go home. We made lots of friends there, and only 3 people said that they knew about Ron that would NOT vote for him; contrast that with a couple of dozen that knew him and were GLAD we were doing what we were doing.
Oh yeah, and I spend about 6 hours a day on the computer between meetup organization, research, ranting on this forum, and pulling my hair out or being happy, depending on what the 'media' is doing to Ron on any given day.
(The longer I sit here and cool off - the more I remember) I also had a great stroke of luck this week. I had contacted an influential radio talk show host (I won't name him here because its still a surprise for the group - I'll tell them Wednesday) and asked him to come and speak to our Meetup Group. He supported Badnarik on the air last election cycle, and he's been talking up Ron a LOT lately. He responded back saying that he was glad to know about us (7th largest Meetup in the U.S.) and that he would be out of town next week and couldn't make this meeting, but that he would be happy to say now, in advance, he would be happy to come speak if I were to invite him in the future. SCORE!!!!!
Do all you can - the time is NOW - let nothing block your path.
LET'S TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!
