I just got off the phone with my dad. He and I have been "going the rounds" over Ron Paul for a few months. We are in Utah and he has been a big Mitt Romney supporter, and frankly, I had about given up hope.

Well, he attended the Utah GOP state convention a while back and picked up some RP material from a booth that the SLC Meetup had. Among them the AFTF video. He and my mom watched it a few days ago and that got them to do some ACTUAL RESEARCH into Ron Paul and now they are Ron Paul 110%!!

Most of you are probably saying - OK, one guy and his wife finaly got a clue - so what?

Well, the good news is, my dad served a couple of terms as a county commisioner out there and he is highly respected in the community in general and the Republican party especially. He is very charismatic and (like Dr. Paul) he is a politican that people know is also a highly principled man. I honestly don't think there is a person in the county of about 15,000 that he doesn't know by name. (OK, maybe not everyone) - but this is very big, I know that probably hundreds of people will give Dr. Paul a look who otherwise would not have. And we all know what happens when people give Ron Paul a chance to be heard :)

Anyway, wanted to share that! Back to your regularly scheduled program. :p

That is how it is done. Converting people one by one turns into exponential conversions. Great job.

Enjoy,

Good news! I just borrowed the AFTF DVD from a coworker tonight.

I told her about Ron Paul and she is currently youtubing him.

Another voter.

Didn't Dr. Paul say that word of mouth is a powerful thing?

Great work!

:D :D :D :D

Great news. Keep up the good work. I'm still working on my 23 year old daughter who is a Hillary/Obama supporter! Looks hopeless, but your story is an inspiration.

Advertisers know that word of mouth is the most powerful of the various methods, and obviously its very inexpensive. The only problem is that its not that easy to get a great deal of buzz around a product. In this case the product is Ron Paul and his supporters give all they can to spread the word about him.

Have you ever had someone who came up to you and said,

"Have you heard about Rudy Giuliani?"
