2. Nationwide Rally
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!

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?
