The Official Campaign has not really developed the Canvass the way it should.
The Canvass is the basic building block of political organisations especially one like ours which has a compelling message that is totally unique and superior to the rest.
We have reached most of those who are reachable in cyberspace but we need to reach our share of those who are still tied to print, tv and radio. Our message of hope will resonate with them as well but we need to get out there with more workers to deliver our message effectively. Ideally neighbours should be talking to neighbours.
This will take more people on the ground and here is how to do it
Every time you knock on a door and come across someone with an open mind you must think of them not only as a prospective vote but also as a prospective worker who can also recruit another worker who in turn can recruit another worker and so on and so on . . .
We should look at growing this organisation exponentially similar to a multi level marketing or pyramid organisation with the obvious difference that we are working on a totally different motivational plane.
When a political organisation is built out their should ideally be one worker for every 100 households maximum and in this way there will be no mistaking that RP has a significant presence in the community as everyone will know someone who is working for Ron Paul.
The canvassing process takes time to execute properly and the Official Campaign was definitely late out of the starting block. It would have been better if the Official Campaign would have been more pro active on this but it can still be done in spite of them.
If Ron Paul continues in the Republican Party, those in the remaining states can improve their results by starting to ask everyone who gives them a positive response to help with the campaign - just distributing literature doesn't work any better for a political organisation than it does for a sales organisation.
If on the other hand, Ron Paul decides soon to go independent, given our numbers already committed there is plenty of time to build out an organisation that can win the Presidency in November.
Best of luck to us all.
