Rather than re-invent the wheel – I thought I’d see what is already out there before digging into this project. Work smarter, not harder - right. :D
In northeast Florida most of the Ron Paul presidential campaign remnant has chosen the Republican Liberty Caucus as the primary vehicle for advancing the movement. The main reason we have chosen this vehicle is because of the increased exposure and respect (well somewhat) that comes with the “party name” association. I don’t want to debate the merits of this strategy in this thread. It’s irrelevant to the topic.
The Project
We are thinking about embracing the Precinct Committee person concept by taking on the following project:
1. Putting together a top notch 20 minute presentation that explains our movement & why it is important
2. The Precinct Committeeman/Committeewoman for a particular precinct will advertise (flyers/e-mail/phone calls etc.) a local townhall meeting.
3. A designated presenter(s) along with others from the RLC will go to the location and conduct the presentation
What does this accomplish?
1. Spreads the message/educates people
2. Fulfills the obligation of RLC members/RP Republicans who also serve as REC Precinct Committee people to be out educating/organizing/registering people who live in their precinct.
3. Will increase the membership of the RLC/CFL/Restore the Republic/RP Forums/Daily Paul etc.
4. Earn respect within the precincts so that when we return to campaign for “OUR CANDIDATE” we are more effective.
Why Am I posting this here?
1. Because I think it is a good idea that people may want to embrace throughout the country
2. I want help with creating the “Our Movement in a 20 Minute Presentation”
The Presentation
1. Obviously a portion of it needs to be tailored to local issues and promoting whatever local Meetup/Organization you are using in your area.
2. Need a great Video under 10 minutes that both excites people and gives them a good snapshot of what we are about. The Ron Paul YouTubes were excellent “Stop Dreaming”, “Don’t Tread On Me” and “New Hope” but I think we need something that captures the movement going forward. Ideas?
3. The Script – We need to choose the phrases, words, names carefully. Ideas?
4. PowerPoint – The script could be accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation that could also be printed as handout for attendees. Ideas?
