People should be talking to their families about Ron Paul anyway, but I think there should be an organized effort to push it.
I think the best time to have it would be Thanksgiving week. College students will be home, and most will see their extended family.
Everybody should talk to their parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, grandparents, uncles, aunts, everybody! Other people that college students could talk to while home are the friends they haven't seen in a while, people they worked with before going off to school, high school teachers, people from church, etc.
Some materials need to be put together to help make this a big success:
A checklist of people to talk to.
A document on how to talk to your family about Ron Paul. I'm sure you all know that talking to your family is usually different than talking to friends or strangers. This document should cover different ways to bring it up, different key points to talk about, how to talk politics without offending or turning it into an argument, maybe some scripts, etc.
A video about this to go viral around college campuses.
A video on how to talk to parents about Ron Paul.
A video just for parents.
Maybe a web site just for this.
There should also be a request in this somewhere for people to ask for donations to Ron Paul for Christmas presents, and the earlier the better. Not only would it bring more money to the campaign, it would also show how serious you are about this.
Parents make a lot of their decisions, including who they vote for, with their children in mind. Children have a much better chance of getting through to their parents about Ron Paul than anything else. Parents will listen, especially if children are talking about concern for their own future.
