1) I have a shitty printer that doesn't print anything so I can't print out flyers.

2) My local meetup group scheldules meetings then gives horrible directions or doesn't show up.


3) My job doesn't pay enough for me to donate, it all goes to bills.

4) I don't have the ability to make video's promoting Ron Paul.

Do you have friends, family, coworkers, or neighbors you can convince to support Ron Paul?

Talk talk talk talk to anyone who will listen! Ask them to visit ronpaul2008.com. Everyone can do SOMETHING. My father is in the same boat as you (he doesnt even have the internet!) but he talks and talks to anyone who will listen. It is not a time to be shy. :cool:

Don't get discouraged, dude! You don't need fancy electronics or money to fuel the revolution. Dropping a word of recommendation to a friend or acquaintance is one of the BIGGEST things one can do to promote RP, because it's nearly guaranteed that whoever you tell will also tell a bunch of people, and so on and so on! The fireworks are already laid out for us. All we must do is light the fuse.

No worries. there are several of us in the same boat.

message me your address and I'll send you some slim jims.

Otherwise, try writing a letter to your local newspaper editor.

Listen to those above, you CAN help!

Tell everyone who will listen about Dr. Paul's message of peace and freedom. The message stands on its own two feet.

Well, you could get a friend to print out one copy of the flyers for you and you could take them to be copied.

That, in addition to the offer by another poster to send you some Slim Jims.

Ways to indirectly promote Ron Paul (without talking or doing anything):
- Bumper Stickers
- T-shirts
- Signs

Sell something on eBay and then send the money to Ron Paul.

A lot of us face the same problems... I donated what I can... and I talk to anyone that will listen. That's all you can do, and it has a huge effect.

One man alone can do as much as five others given the heart to go out there. It's all about drive. Got time?

I'd agree with what the others said. The best thing you can do is make youself fully educated about Dr. Paul's stance on all the issues and talk to everyone you know and everyone you come across about him. Get them all on board!! :)

I can relate. I'm in a similar boat, except that my meetup meetings are almost always at bad times for me (and I'm inefficient/slow when it comes to homework/studying because of ADHD--the real kind--so I don't have a lot of free time...I only post on this forum because I make more progress reading if I do a few things at once and take frequent breaks), I'm a poor college student with just enough money to get by, etc.
The best asset I have is my newly acquired, ever-evolving education in politics and Ron Paul. I also have a "Ron Paul 2008" button/pin that I wear everywhere (and it draws a lot of attention), and a few hundred Ron Paul liberty cards (that I purchased very inexpensively during the birthday sale-- www.libertycard.org ). I'm am able to talk to several people (at least 3-4, but sometimes more) about Ron Paul every day. Depending on the mood I'm in (i.e., whether or not I've taken my Adderall--which makes me irreversibly introverted and irritable/moody), sometimes I'll give everyone I see who looks at my button a card. Also, a few times I've talked to people who were either already interested in Dr. Paul or who became interested after hearing about him, and I'll give them a small stack of RP cards to hand out themselves (I have so many of them...). I figure that might get them active in the campaign/revolution as well (one of the most difficult things we have to deal with are people who like Ron Paul, but are conditioned to be apathetic about most everything in life--especially truly important but corrupt things that they don't feel they have any control over, like education and politics).

Anyway, breaking out of your shell--your comfort zone--is key.
It helps to have a friend/fellow RP supporter with you--confidence is improved when you're not alone.

Peace!
