Border State Coalitions (BSC) - 02/07/08

The purpose of the BSC project is to organize help in the form of manpower and supplies for states with upcoming primaries or caucuses from neighboring states. States with a “*” after their 2 letter abbreviation have a primary or caucus after the state they are aiding, so should probably hold onto their supplies.

Ideally, we would like to start a BSC project (A-F) a month to a month and a half before the primary to allow time for fund raising, ad buys and 4-6 weekends for people to come from neighboring states to canvas precincts.

Dates are from:

The following territories have very few supporters and are not in the continental US. If someone can figure out a way to help them, I'm all ears, but for now I'm leaving them out of the project.

Below is a listing, by state, of states that contact yours and have upcoming primaries or caucuses. We can either set up Meetups or use a message forum for organizing, poll here: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=114685 but we need to get as many organizers and assistant organizers to join the appropriate project group(s) for your state. For Example:

PA(D1) – MD(A2), OH(C1)

Means that organizers in Pennsylvania should join the BSC-A and BSC-C projects in order to aid Maryland and Ohio, respectively. They should also join BSC-D project to network and coordinate aid coming into Pennsylvania from neighboring states for their primary.

States with no entries after their initials should send left over supplies wherever they can and engage in activities like phone banking, letter writing and making/shipping banners to whoever needs them.
