What is in the water of Jefferson County? (Ron got 49% there)

[po14015]

I would say it is because of a person who I believe is a member of this forums and is a great patriot. He worked extremely hard to get as many Ron Paul Patriots as possible to the caucus. They were well organized, and I plan on emailing him to get the secret to their success.

Another thing they did was blanketed the small newspapers with Ron Paul Super Brochures. It was extremely cheap. And this works. Someone in S.C. did this as well, and I have gotten telephone calls because of it.

If I get more info, I will post it.

Putting the Superbrochures in the local newspapers instead of the us mail seems more economically efficient. Or just better.

Based on the evidence, it does not appear that the supervoters are responding particularly well to the Ron Paul message, at least not as much as people who have never voted, Independents, young people, etc. Somehow they were able to support Ron Paul even without getting a superbrochure.

What is a supervoter?
And what is a superdelegate?

We won in in 2008 and we won it big in 2012, but it has to do with demographics, not good campaigning. It's because of the Transcendental Meditation movement, which is headquartered in Fairfield.

In the US Presidential elections of 1992, 1996, and 2000, you'll notice the county gave a VERY strong vote to third party candidate John Hagelin--who was the "Natural Law Party" candidate, whereas that candidate got around .5% in every other county.

Hope this answers your question

Winner. I worked in the Iowa war room for the '08 campaign & this is the 100% truth. Because of the TM movement there, we basically didn't have to do much to win it & this time with the money & resources the '12 campaign has I was expecting Paul win that county handily. I think Jefferson County is the single strongest case for everybody really concentrating on their local area, building their community into one where the liberty message is easily received. I have friends in Fairfield & I'm seriously considering buying property there.

It was the independents who voted for Ron Paul in Jefferson County.
As for volunteers, several people worked 4 or more hours a day for Ron Paul, in addition to their regular jobs and family commitments.
The grassroots office had free signs, buttons, wristbands, flyers.
In one month we went from about 200 supporters on our google docs list to 600.
The donated office space was in a great location, where we formed a permanent billboard.
Volunteers kept the office open from 9 to 9 for a whole month, every day but Christmas.
We distributed 9000 super brochures in the local papers for about $300, then one generous donor purchased enough to blanket Lee County papers also. Many volunteers are small business owners who are very aware that they are being squeezed out of business by the powers that be, no matter what party is in office.
Yes, Jefferson County has a very unique peaceful perspective.
But the dedication and effort can be duplicated elsewhere.
Freedom brings us together.

I believe a supervoter is just a made up word this election cycle for independents and republicans targeted with the superbrochure.

A superdelegate is usually a party insider or politician who is automatically given a delegate vote during the national convention. The Democratic Party has many more than the Republican Party does.

In the City of Fairfield, 616 came to the GOP caucus. There fully 59% (364/616) were for Ron Paul. In one precinct (FF2) 86% (82/95) were for Ron Paul. In Jefferson County as a whole the count was 49% (408/840) for Ron Paul. I predict Fairfield's Precinct 2 will be the record for Ron Paul in the nation this year! How did we do it? I have noticed there are many in the community who have been very proactive on the issues of Peace, Liberty, the Constitution throughout the six years I have lived here. I was so charmed that one of the nations most widely read papers the world over - the Wall Street Journal chose to showcase the tiny town of Fairfield on their front page for a story on the day of the Iowa Caucus in 2008. This year we made page 5 on the day before the caucus and they focussed exclusively on our support for Ron Paul. There was essentially only one Presidential campaign active in Jefferson County this time around. 2008 WSJ article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119932860523364137.html?mod=hpp_us_pageone
