***Awesome Message From The Campaign, How to Win the Ground War**********************

January 30, 2008


We received this message this morning from a Ron Paul supporter in Florida. Because it is so important, we are sharing it with you, too.

I wanted to share my experience canvassing here in Broward County, South Florida.

As you know, Dr. Paul took 3% of the vote yesterday in Florida. A friend and I signed up on the campaign's website to be a precinct leader, and took it upon ourselves to canvass 13 precincts in Broward County. I'm proud to report that in the precincts that we canvassed, Dr. Paul came in second to John McCain.

That's right; Dr. Paul beat Romney, Giuliani and Huckabee. This happened with almost NO media coverage of Dr. Paul. It's particularly noteworthy, because Broward County is a stronghold of Rudy Giuliani.

We know of other Dr. Paul supporters in Broward County who were waving Dr. Paul's signs, but they did not do that well in their precincts. Sign waving does NOT get votes, BUT PRECINCT WORK DOES GET VOTES!!! Please do the precinct work in your area so that Dr. Paul will win. God Bless You.

Help us by signing up today to be a precinct leader in your area. If you really want to make Ron Paul our next president, sign up and begin canvassing right away. You're counting on Ron Paul to do his part, and he's counting on you to do yours.

This is work that any dedicated supporter can do, and, along with donating, is the most important thing you can do to ensure a Ron Paul victory.

Sign up yourself, and then encourage all your friends to sign up here: https://voters.ronpaul2008.com.

Excellent post. You are absolutely correct. Sign waving is an activity made up by campaigns which don't know what to do with volunteers. It is attractive mainly to those who feel comfortable singing to the choir. It makes no sense to wave signs on some street corner, especially during a primary, as the number of voters eligible to vote for your candidate is an extreme minority of those who will see your signs.

Canvassing allows you to target only those voters who can vote and who are most likely to vote. It gives you a record of each contact so you know who you have reached and who still must be reached. It allows you to target your most likely supporters in subsequent Get Out The Vote efforts.

Stop waving signs and doing other nonsensical things. Actually campaign. Signs, bumper stickers, yard signs, etc. are all nice, they're very pretty...but they do not accomplish one whole hell of alot.

I thank you for your hard work in Broward County.
