The Macon Georgia Ron Paul MeetUp will have a booth at the Georgia National Fair (http://www.georgianationalfair.com/index.htm)for ten days in Perry, Georgia, October 4-14th, 2007. The event, which is a combination Fair, Livestock Exhibition, and Concert Venue, averages 400,000 visitors per year. With bands like Daughtry, Los Lonely Boys, and Dierks Bentley performing, and with the livestock show being one of the largest in the Southeast, we expect to reach a wide audience of potential voters.
Our booth will be informational and will feature a wide screen flat-panel television playing various Ron Paul-related videos, as well as displaying an assortment of signs and literature covering Ron Paul’s political positions.
In conjunction with the booth, we also plan to hold a straw-poll asking visitors who they would choose for president as well as a “rate your issue” poll asking visitors to list their opinions and priorities on issues such as the IRS, foreign aid, illegal immigration, the environment, etc. We plan to issue press releases in the upcoming weeks notifying state and local media of our straw poll.
All in all, it should be a great way to promote Ron Paul to voters in the South who still typically say, “Never heard of him!” when we are out campaigning.
HERE’S WHAT WE NEED:
SUPPLIES
Because we are a small group, and the sponsoring the booth itself was costly, we are looking for donations of any kind. We would be happy to receive ANY extra campaign materials you have on hand. We need approximately 5,000 pieces of literature, buttons, flyers, etc. Any great DVDs you have that outline RP’s positions are wanted, too.
A/V EQUIPMENT
We are looking for someone to lend us use of a flat-panel television or monitor greater than 30” to catch the eyes of those walking by our display, as well as a DVD player to play our RP movies. (We are hoping an Audio-Visual specialty company might lend equipment in exchange for prominent advertising space.)
MONEY $$$
We expect our expenses for this event to exceed $1,500-3,000. Money donations in any amount to help us cover these expenses would be appreciated.
YOU!
The Georgia National Fair will take place from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. over ten days. Despite most of our members volunteering to work the booth multiple shifts on multiple days we are sorely shorthanded. We would love to have volunteers outside of Middle Georgia come help us out, particularly during the weekdays, but anytime you’re available would be great.
I am so proud to be associated with so many patriotic Americans through this would-be President, Ron Paul. If any of you can donate anything, your time - or even your good wishes - toward this effort, please pm me, or you can contact me at ronpaul.meetup.com/250. (http://www.ronpaul.meetup.com/250)
