mPort asked me on the Ames Newspaper Ad thread about Ron coming to Atlanta (why do i feel like I know him and can call him Ron and he would think that is just cool and dandy:D )
Below is a cut and paste of the original email i got from our great meetup group here. There are several around Atlanta and folks gravitate amongst them according to schedule. I would like to get a 1/3 page ad in Creative Loafing here for this visit and to knock everybody's lights on. Creative Loafing gets about a million viewers a week and the paper stays around for a week so folks can check concert events and art galleries. i just recently seen a favorable interview wth the Clearwater editor of CL who is entirely favorable to Ron Paul. The ad's size format as it stands now fits perfectly into te 1/3rd page format and is approximately 2/3rds the height of a column t standard weekly newspaper size. Add to this thread if you think we should get a donation kitty going for this and begin the process..or not..
Dear All Ron Paul Meetup Organizers in Georgia,
Yes the subject line is correct - Ron Paul will be here on August 24th!!!!!
Here's the scoop -
Congressman Ron Paul will be here on August 24th for a fundraiser. We have a maximum opportunity for 200 people to attend a $1,000 per plate fundraiser with Ron Paul. If we can swing this or come close to 200 participates/donors at this level then we can also have a rally - a really large rally at the Cobb Galleria the next day - August 25th.
In order to pull this off, we need lots of help from every single meetup in the state as well as pulling from all our border states.
Here is what we need:
1. 200 people willing to donate $1,000 to the Ron Paul campaign
2. All meetup organizers to coordinate our efforts for maximum exposure of this event - letting everyone in your group know about the events.
3. All meetup organizers to encourage and stress the importance of attending the fundraiser and rally to all their members.
4. Designated people from each meetup group to contact local radio/television/newspaper sources prior to the event - more specific information on this under a separate email.
5..Identify and network with other Ron Paul groups such as the Libertarian Party, Constitution Party, Patriot Network, various Yahoo groups, Google groups and any other group that we can think of that supports or should support Ron Paul for President and let them know about the fundraiser and rally - we need their help - we can not do it alone.
6. Identify personal such as off duty police, doctors, nurses, emt's that can work both events. Professionals that are also supporters that can donate their skills and time.
7. Bloggers that can work the area during the rally.
8. University/College groups for Ron Paul. These groups need to be activated in each area.
This plan for a fundraiser and rally came to my attention tonight at the Alpharetta Meetup because we had a new guest. Ricardo Davis was our guest tonight and first spoke about electronic voting (our other guest Garland from voterga.org was unable to come) and then Ricardo gave us the good news of the upcoming fundraiser and rally. In case you are wondering, Ricardo Davis is not an official member of the campaign. He is just a volunteer like us donating his time so that Ron Paul will be our next president. Ricardo does come with credentials, he worked on another successful campaign in the state - Dr. Paul Brown, Georgia's 10th District.
Below are two links regarding Ricardo Davis - the first one simply gives you information on the successful campaign he has worked on that is very similar to Ron Paul and the next link is in regard to his work with voterga.org.
