Having only 19 active members in the Iowa meet-up group needs to improve.

As I said in another thread.
It is ESSENTIAL
For Paul supporters in Iowa
To write letters to their local newspapers!

Talk to FriedChicken about calling Iowa through http://rp2012.org/ We're trying to find supporters and make sure they bring other people to the caucus and that they're ready to give a short speech to convince people at the precinct votes.

Even Ron said 3rd is pretty much unacceptable. He has little doubt he can win.

People need to be making phone calls and there's 2 main options:
1) http://rp2012.org/ is making calls to Iowa Ron Paul supporters to get them ready for the caucus
2) http://phone.ronpaul2012.com/ is making calls to New Hampshire to do voter identification
Making phone calls might be something new or sound scary, but it's not that bad, and it's fun talking to Ron Paul people. But mainly, it's how Ron Paul can win 1st in Iowa.
If you want Ron Paul to win, this is what you should be doing. It will directly get actual votes on the day of the caucus/primary.

There should probably be some kind of official thread for Iowans to discuss this in. That would really help a lot with organization for meet-ups and such.

I agree, waiting a week prior does NOT CUT IT!
People are burnt out with all the ads and calls, if we get to them early we can make a stronger impression.
We need to start now..

Yep. We have by far the biggest grassroots movement of any candidate. We should be organizing now to get them out canvassing to compliment the campaigns efforts in Iowa. A huge resource pool being wasted currently.
They need to get mobilized. We have quite a few Iowans here that can help lead it.

Those who are worried about Iowa - and every Ron Paul supporter should be - consider supporting our Iowa project geared specifically toward organizing grassroots efforts:

He needs to rise to 20% in late November polls.This can be done by mobilizing the existing Ron Paul supporters in Iowa to prepare for the caucus by finding other supporters to canvass. It's all about the numbers. We have the numbers outside of Iowa, but if we can focus it all into reaching people that can and will vote on January 3, that will multiply even easier the earlier we reach them.

Those who are worried about Iowa...If anybody wants Ron Paul to win, they should be involved in Iowa in some way. If Ron Paul places 3rd, it's going to be very difficult going forwards. 2nd is good, but 1st is totally doable.
If you don't/can't help with money, you can still leverage your time by directly calling people in Iowa.

Don't live in Iowa but definetely agree this is our biggest shot.What do you mean by "Don't live in Iowa but..."? Anybody in Iowa or out of Iowa or even out of the US could help rally the troops in Iowa.

Agreed. I corrected the wording in my post to make that more obvious ;-)

How does "finding other supporters to canvass" work?
If you're talking about
a) meetup groups building up their meetup group, I'm in favor.
or
b) doing door to door canvassing independent of the official campaign, I'm not.
I don't know that you're suggesting an independent door to door operation, but I'm just saying that doesn't seem like the way to go.
At some point the campaign will be going door to door. They may have started doing this already. They'll need volunteers for that.

A win in Iowa is the ONLY acceptable outcome.

How does "finding other supporters to canvass" work?The same process anyone outside of Iowa would be helping to find/motivate existing Ron Paul supporters. Except they'll be in Iowa and hopefully even more motivated (or realize the urgency) to get things done earlier.
There's a poll this Saturday and Ron Paul is speaking!

I keep reading articles from this week saying "Ron Paul is right, but.. " or "Ron Paul's Plan to Restore America is breathtaking, but.." from news outlets around the country that aren't early in the primary process. This sets things up perfectly for a big Ron Paul win in Iowa, so people who agree with Ron Paul or like his plan won't need much more convincing!

It's sunday, so time to call Iowa through http://rp2012.org instead of New Hampshire through the campaign!

There is a whole sub-forum dedicated to the Iowa Caucus. Sadly, most people just hang out here in Grassroots Central. I'll use this to remind people that there are dozens of other sub-forums. See: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/forum.php
