I got this idea today and I made a few phone calls. Looks like I'm going to be able to pull it off.
I'm reserving 5 limos on the day of the primaries in my state. They'll have signs on them encouraging people to jump in and get a free ride to go vote for ron paul. They'll be shuttling voters all day and driving around town.
It should only cost me about $100 per limo for the day and they said it would be fine if i put in ron paul dvd's on the tvs to play. I'll try to work up some kind of flyer to post around town before hand telling people of the free limo rides for ron paul and I'll put in an extra phone line in my office to make reservations. The reservations won't be entirely necessary except for the first couple but the people riding will be encouraged to have the driver go and pick up their friends and family along the way and I'll have a hotline open so anyone wanting a ride to the ballot boxes can call in with the place to pick them up.
The way I see it is, a limo can fit quite a few people and draws quite a bit more attention around town than any other car. So hopefully that'll fire up a few peeps who would be up for the opportunity. I'll just keep the drivers on the horn and encourage them to pick up as many people, including people walking on the streets and waiting in traffic along the way. Fill it then go pick up some more :)
I'm kinda patting myself on the back for this idea, I think it may just spring up an even higher turnout for ron paul and maybe even make a few last minute conversions and if god willing, some local news. Although I'm in a closed primary state, which complicates things, I think this idea may work even better in open primaries.
I'll get the rest of the details and come up with a definitive plan, but if it seems to go smoothly any ideas on how to get this to the meetup groups?
