I messed up here in FL. Try to take something away from my mistake.
I learned about Ron Paul in May '07 while studying abroad and was extremely enthusiastic about his shot at the presidency. Along with a lot of you guys, I complained about the debates and always talked about how great Ron Paul would do without putting enough effort on my end.
Until the last few weeks I hadn't put out a genuinely huge effort to help out Dr. Paul. Recently I have set up tables at my campus promoting him, worn RP shirts 2x per week, made a big effort to get my friends to vote for him and just today made a lot of phone calls to Floridians.
My huge mistake was never looking further into the materials provided for precinct leaders. Just now I am realizing what I could have been doing, even by myself and I really feel awful that I didn't do everything I could to help out the good doctor.
From here, tomorrow I will be at the polls from 7 a.m to 1 p.m. and will do my best to spread the word. Saturday some college students will be phone banking calling some super Tuesday states.
I genuinely hope that at least one person reads this and looks further into what it takes to be a good precinct leader and follows through. Ron Paul is hope and hope to me would be Ron Paul giving me another chance by:
1. Winning the nomination so I can do everything in FL that I can for the General election.
2. Seeking the presidency as a 3rd party if he doesn't win so I can do everything in FL that I can for the General election.
