If anyone has maxed out their contribution to the campaign and still has money they can spare, please consider helping me obtain more Ron Paul business cards. I purchased 5,000 during the Ron Paul birthday sale. I just received them yesterday and have already passed out at least 800. I think I am going to run out in the next few weeks, especially since I am stopping by the Texas Straw Poll on my way across the country and those anti-war protestors are going to need a lot of them for themselves and friends. I would purchase them myself, but I am recently married and can't afford to expend any more money. But I would like to keep doing the "on the ground" work. Or, consider purchasing and distributing them yourself. http://www.libertytalk.com/liberty_card_rp.php

Here are some of the ideas for distribution that I have implemented so far:

-Stick them in the window seal crack on the driver's side window of cars when you are in parking lots. (windshield wiper placement is too easily overlooked and when noticed while driving will just be brushed away by a flick of the wipers). Park far away from the door and place them on the cars when you walk by on your way in.

-Target book stores. Find the "Current Events," "Politics," or "Bestsellers" sections. These books are the ones that actually move off of the shelves and have our target audience - people interested in politics and capable (we hope) of independent thought. I hit two Barnes and Noble bookstores and got rid of at least a few hundred cards by sticking them in the middle of books. When someone opens it, the card will fall out. And it makes a great bookmark too.

-Stick them in business card holders at front counters of stores. (You don't have to cover the store's card, just stick the cards in vertically and behind the store's cards so they are still visible and if they aren't blocking the store's cards, they might not get removed by an angry owner.)

-Put them in the creases of gas pumps as you fill up. There are little seams in the plastic of gas pumps. Stick them in there and they stick out nicely so they can't be ignored. How many times have you stared around bored at the pump while filling up?

If you want to help me out, please send me a private message and I can get you my address. Please let me know if you like this idea. These cards are of very high quality. They are colorful and glossy and are packed with info. There is a backside too with info on Ron Paul's online successes.

More ideas on where to put them:

-Put one in with your check when you pay at a restaurant or bar

-Stick them in the seams of soda machines

-Put them in the shopping cart top portion

Today it's time to turn my wife's car into the Ron Paul Mobile. Window paint and some bumper stickers should do the trick. Any more ideas on where I can put my wonderful little RP cards?

FYI, I'm distributing cards JUST like these for quite a bit less than LibertyCard.org. See this thread:

Wow. Thanks. Those prices are much better. I got my first batch at 30% off for RP's birthday, but any further orders that I can gather up some cash to pull off will be from that site. I got a PM from someone who thinks the SlimJim idea works better, but I am not sure. I can't leave a SlimJim in a political book in Barnes and Noble or in the window seal of the driver's side door. I think the SlimJims would be more effective when passing them out to people in person. But I am not at a shopping mall everyday or at a state fair every day. I like the cards because I can leave them almost ANYWHERE where someone is likely to find them, even when I am not in crowds of large people. This is something we can ALL do in our everyday lives. Just keep a few hundred in the cup holder of your car, in your wallet or purse, or in the breast pocket of your shirt for easy grabbing. It's so easy!!, and relatively cheap.

I put a bunch up on the board at the local Harley Davidson store. I asked permission first.
