Minnesota Campaign is undermined by Campaign Office [Mod: Info. is disputed]

[risk_reward]

The Minnesota campaign office has been telling everyone to direct Ron Paul supporters to them. They have been compiling a list of supporters, which they were supposed to send out to precinct captains. Well, they still have not sent out the lists and there is no time left to organize.

Minnesota is a caucus state, so it is imperative that supporters organize before hand. Everyone needs a list of delegates to vote for and we need volunteers for delegates. Yet, precinct captains still do not have lists of supporters.

To top it off, there is no time left to contact supporters. The Super Bowl is tonight and Ron Paul is holding a rally Monday night. So, we are going into the caaucus blind and will get trampled. McCain leads this state by 20 pts over Romney and Huckabee and will crush us.

Whos responsible for this? Have you notified the main Ron Paul headquarters about this?

Typical. Don't get your hopes up for a first place finish in any state this tuesday.

Because that seems to the cage in which complaints are kept. :(

Hey- I am receiving email for a friend that's a precinct captain and she received her list last night. I received mine late this morning. They are WORKING ON IT!

The only thing I have encountered frustrating with this is that one of the women who I called off that list said she wasn't a supporter - she just wanted more information mailed to her but NEVER GOT IT! All she's gotten was a call from MN HQ telling her when and where to caucus. She says that she has caucused for 50 years and she will be there. She doesn't know who she's supporting and didn't want to talk to me about it over the phone. She didn't want me to drop any lit. off to her before then either. She's going to make up her mind there.

I will be handing out slim jims with the Gipper flier at my caucus with Ron Paul signs posted and I have a 2min speech prepared.

It seems that no one is responsible, that is the problem. The national headquarters has at least 5 people in the office, no one seems to care.

From what I've seen from HQ, I'll be happy with a 4th place finish.

This is the only thread you have created that is in Hot Topics: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=109454

You didn't provide this information before, so please don't blame the mods here for something they did not do.

I just got a call from the Minnesota campaign office asking if I was going to the caucus not 10 minutes ago. They are actively working on getting the word out.

Ok, then this topic should be axed, immediately. Bump the other good topics over this one.

Scribbler & Co. have been doing a great job trying to give RP a strong showing in MN. I got a call last night from the MN HQ and received my supporter list this morning.

FYI - THere were so many RSVPs to Ron Paul's appearance at the University of MN tomorrow night that they've switched venus to a larger location. (From Coffman Union to Northrup Auditorium)

I hope they send something out about the change soon. I know some people planning to attend who won't find out otherwise. The StarTribune still lists Coffman, as well, so I hope that is corrected prior to tomorrow's publication.

I finally received my list after calling the campaign office today. This was the third time I had called about this issue.
