What I did for Ron Paul today.

[Dustancostine]

Lets start a thread about what we have done today:

Last night at 1:00 am while driving back from Ames, I was listening to Texas Overnight on AM 1080 out of Dallas. It was open lines night, so I called and talked about my straw poll experience and RP's impressive numbers.

Today I have been working with my meetup members to get to Houston tomorrow for a "Friends of Ron Paul" meeting to discuss precinct delegates.

I have also signed up today to be a team leader for the Call Texas program for my meetup group.

The DFW groups are hitting the Hannity Freedom Concert in about 20 minutes. Should be fun.

I wished this world I lived in was a dream and I willed myself to wake up.

I'm gonna try again tomorrow.

I haven't left my house yet today..

I did find a few people to hit up the Camden NJ Ozzfest through the Philly meetup though. I sent their Ozzfest flyers out with my mailman this morning, so they'll all get them in time for the big day. Got a few dudes wanting to hand them out at various other shows in Camden and Philly as well.. so that should help boost support a bit.

And I got my blue RP pens today. They look awesome, and should be a hit with our meetup members and at the fair. The meetup is considering doing a voter registration drive, where it's sort of a "register to vote and keep the pen you used to fill out the form" gimmick. The pens all have RP's name, Hope For America, and www.RonPaul2008.com on them. They're cute.

contacted the local mission today to set up a donations drive organized by my local meetup group. sorta like the "spam drive" that was pulled off so excellently recently. hopefully ours will be just as successfull.

Heading to the Young Republicans meeting with some other RP meetup members. I'm a little to old for this but support what the other members are doing;-)

I talked to two of my friends that had never heard of him. 20 min each.

Yesterday, I put up 20 signs around the county.

I'll be attending my meetup group tonight for more orders from headquarters.

went to the local grocery store, posted a Ron Paul slimjim on the bulliten board and left a few stacks around the store, like next to where they put the flyers for in-store sales.

 

[inibo]

Wore my button to work. Some one asked about it. I gave them a slim-jim. Saw his eyes light up a few times. Will follow up as time permits.

Called HQ in Arlington and offered to volunteer a few hours in the evenings the rest of this week.

 

[nullvalu]

...oh have also converted like.. 2.5 people at work..

 

[Mr. White]

Donated, called some friends, emailed some others, researched GOP in my county., signed on to call Texans for the upcoming straw poll.

 

[Dominic]

Convinced my wife's Texas Aunt to be a supporter.

One thing, though, that I've been having trouble with is getting people to understand the need to support him in the primaries, and not just wait to see what happens after that.

 

[retrorepublican]

Went with a friend down to the local county GOP HQ and volunteered for them. We founded a Republican Youth group for my town. Also, registered as a Republican for 2008.

 

[Marshall]

I went to work to earn money to give to RP.

It was really good! Lots of honking cars, way more thumbs up than thumbs down. Even most of the thumbs down were grinning at us, we just cheered louder at them. We only had a few angry faces and middle fingers. The best was a lady who did a really fake point-and-laugh at us, that cracked everyone up. Yeah, it was pretty light-hearted and positive, even with some naysayers. I would have loved to get bumper stickers to the cars that were honking but only a couple of them stopped long enough.

The cops showed up a few times, they mentioned someone must really hate Ron Paul because they kept calling to complain. The cops were nice though, they kept telling us they saw no problem as long as we didn't wave signs in front of traffic on the road or anything. One of them that looked around for a while asked if "this was some kind of campaign", so we sent him away with a slimjim.

A freelance reporter that was showing up to cover the Hannity event ended up staying by us and interviewing most of us. Hopefully he sells a story or two off of it.

We also had some guy show up who wasn't even from TX, he was in the area after being at Ames and came out.

Helped spread the word about the DC area birthday signwaving and flyover for RP's birthday. Have several people committed, with still a week to go.

Well, for the most part I've been protecting the forum from trolls today. How can we continue to spread the message elsewhere if we're being attacked here at home? We're stretched too thin and I have volunteered to stay back on the homefront to defend us. So I did that at my computer at work while talking to a few people about Ron Paul and earning money to donate. Didn't do too much else today because I don't want to expend too much energy at once and so soon in the process. Ron Paul said himself that this is a marathon not a sprint, and I follow his word as much as humanly possible.
