What is the best way to get the non-political, uneducated, unmotivated, uncaring people to register and vote in the primaries?

Find out the source of the apathy and point out how Ronnie addresses that problem.

I wish it were that easy. I took my brother to hear Ron Paul when he was here in town and he STILL won't get active. He used to be fired up about freedom and was very supportive of Libertarian candidates and ideas, but something happened over the years and he's become completely apathetic apparently. I'm still working on him though!

Fear? Fear leads to hate, hate leads to suffering... suffering leads to the dark side...

First, you figure out what motivates them. Ask them about their family, then their occupation, then their recreation. Somewhere in there, they are going to tell you exactly what's wrong in their life... how they'd like their life to be different.

Second, you tell them exactly how Ron Paul is going to fix their problem.

Third, you tell them where they can find out more about Ron Paul.

Fourth, you follow up with them, and keep following up with them until they are ready to support Ron Paul.

Fifth, you teach them how to recruit more people.

That's the basic outline, and it works almost every time. Let me know if you want me to go into more detail. The key to the first step is to ask simple questions then just shut your mouth and let them talk, and really listen to what they're saying. Most people love to talk about themselves, and nobody ever really listens to them. Besides getting more votes for Ron Paul, you'll also make a lot of friends along the way using this method.
