Nationwide Rally Next Weekend/Paint the Town RON!!

Next weekend (Sept 29/30), is our last opportunity to boost both the supporter base AND donations for the 3rd quarter. Based on feedback on my original post (below), it appears we have a go for a nationwide rally!

I know many access Daily Paul regularly, but perhaps not all. We need to spread the word as quickly as possible to ALL the meetup groups, so they have time to organize and execute.

The goal of this initiative is to get 100% participation in ALL meetup groups. Keep your plan as simple and cost-effective as possible. Some people really do have time and money constraints. We don't want to give anyone a reason not to participate.

Here is all that is required:

1. Pick a day (Sept 29/30), time and venue.
2. Notify ALL meetup members that they MUST attend (I know we're all volunteers, but EVERYONE must participate, to make this a smash success).
3. Organize signs, banners, handouts, etc., for the event.
4. Do it!

If we are successful with this initiative, we could significantly boost the supporter base by thousands and 3rd quarter contributions by tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The time is now!

1. New Hampshire Family Walk

Ron Paul and his family will be in Manchester, NH this weekend. He will be giving a speech on Saturday, Sept. 29 at 9:30 am and then we will all go off Saturday and Sunday to distribute literature throughout New Hampshire.

The campaign is hoping to get 1,000 volunteers to knock on about 50,000 doors this weekend. This is a HUGE effort to reach out to New Hampshire voters because we all know that winning New Hampshire is KEY for Ron Paul. Imagine the amount of "free" advertising that a New Hampshire win will get!!! It will help the efforts of every other state's campaign. National is asking people to RSVP, but right I know we have about 150-200 people RSVPed in the Nashua and Concord meetup groups. WE NEED PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!! Maine, Vermont, Mass, Connecticutt, ... whoever can make the trip. This is the time to demonstrate the organization of our grassroots effort. Even if you can only donate a few hours on Saturday or Sunday, every little bit helps. This event needs to be the focus of all meetup groups in the New England area. As we all know, we cannot depend on the MSM to get the word out without putting their own negative spin on things. This is our chance to control the true Ron Paul message of freedom and take it directly to the people. Please help us make this event a success.

3. Paint the Town Ron

For the event in the planning for next weekend, see: PAINT THE TOWN RON

-----Original Post-----

Have you ever noticed how many Ron Paul supporters attend rallies, when Ron Paul is present? Why not organize big events like that, even when Ron Paul is not in town?

The Ron Paul Revolution now spans over 700 cities. Imagine if once every 2 weeks, in all 700+ cities, a major gathering was organized by the meetups where ALL Ron Paul supporters attended. People are curious by nature, so when they see these large gatherings of people (several hundred, in the big cities!!), they will want to know what is going on. The events would perpetually generate more and more supporters and thus get bigger and bigger each time, until everyone in town knows who Ron Paul is.

One of the keys to success is to find venues that generate the maximum amount of exposure. Some examples may be:

College campuses
City centers
Sporting events
Music concerts
Art festivals
Parks
Large shopping malls
...

Since everyone is generally busy, these events could be limited to 2-3 hours. Who cannot spare 2-3 hours once every two weeks, for such an important cause like this? When will we have a chance to elect another president like Ron Paul? 100 years? 200 years? Just remember what Ron Paul is doing for his country and 2-3 hours will seem like the least EVERYONE else can do.

The gatherings do not have to be 2-3 hours of chanting. As Ron Paul said, people should have fun. So, perhaps some people could mix good music CDs (including some of the good Ron Paul songs) that could be played on a boombox at the events. It might also be nice to have a laptop or two available, to show passersby a video like "Ron Paul Courageously Speaks the Truth", so they can see how Ron Paul thinks and speaks.

In addition to the normal Ron Paul information giveaways, it might be nice to have candy or balloons to offer kids. Imagine offering candies that say "Sweet Liberty" on them, with a brief Ron Paul message, or a balloon with Ron Paul's name, image and ronpaul2008.com on it. Just something to think about.

Next Saturday (Sept 29) or Sunday (Sept 30) would be a good starting point. This will be the last opportunity for 3rd quarter contributions and many new people might be impressed enough to make such a contribution.

RALLY PROPOSAL SUMMARY:
Where: All 700+ meetup cities
When: Every 2 weeks, starting the weekend of Sept 29/30
Duration: 2-3 hours
Venue: To be decided by each meetup group
Who: ALL meetup group members (and invited guests)

I think this could turn the fire in to an inferno. What do you guys think?

Get Those Signs in Visible Locations!

by Donna Andert
Assistant Organizer of Pasadena & Irvine, California

One story that I haven't seen on the Ron Paul blogs is about our ability to put a Ron Paul sign on private property when authorized by the owner. Unless prohibited specifically by local law, if the owner of a property or a business owner can decide to post a Ron Paul sign right now.

We need Ron Paul supporters with windows and property in high traffic locations to post professional looking signs. We know that we have many supporters who are NOT meetup members. And those beautiful large white "Hope for America" signs that you see in YouTube videos have been shipped to major Meetup groups.

We need people with the power and influence to authorize a sign, to contact their local Ron Paul meetup to ask for a sign if one is available, or to buy a Ron Paul sign from their local signmaker.

Southern California meetup groups will work with local businesses to get signs posted. Now. Get these big 4'x8' signs off my fireplace and onto Roadsides. Contact Pasadena and Irvine Meetups. (From photos, I believe San Diego has signs as well.)

The competition, naturally, is to post photographs of these signs with the businesses that support Ron Paul.

Thank You,
